| On Sunday October 10 2010 six members of the Modena Fire Company went to the Maple Grove Raceway to enjoy a great day of Championship Drag Racing by the NHRA.
Deputy Chief Dowlin received six tickets from our good friends at Belfor Restoration on Friday. on Sunday morning around 7am the member meet at Deputy Chief Dowlin residence and loaded in to his vehicle for the short trip to Maple Grove. Member in attendance was Deputy Chief Dowlin, Assistant Chief Wallace, Lieutenant's Brown, and Corle, and Firefighters Huggins, and Davis.
Once arriving at Maple Grove the crew headed to the pit area to check out the drags and also sign in at the Doug Foley Racing tent where Belfor and Foley Racing teamed up together to provide firefighters with food and beverages throughout the day. The crew enjoyed breakfast as they watched the Foley team get their car ready for round one of top fuel. After checking out more pit area's the crew took to the grand stands to watch round one. First up in round one was Foleys racing smoking the competition and winning round one, however lost in round two.
The crew enjoyed a great day of racing and would like to thank John Stout of Belfor and Doug Foley Racing for their hospitality throughout the day.
While at breakfast in the Foley Racing tent the crew filled out a chance at winning a trip down the track in a drag car, on Monday five members received calls from Belfor to join them Wednesday at 1400 hours for a chance of a life time riding and driving dragsters. However only two members could make the trip on Wednesday Assistant Chief Wallace and Lieutenant Brown.
On Wednesday afternoon the two made the trip back to Maple grove and enjoyed a great day of driving and riding up and down the drag strip. |
