Post by: Gary Perkinson on July 04, 2015, 11:02:22 PM: I'll be there with the G/BGALT Chevy HHR, #718. And in fact, I'll be going alone, so if anyone knows anyone who wants work as a temporary crew member (basically, just helping me get belted in in the staging lanes), I'll be happy to buy you lunch, dinner, beer and/or anything else that'll keep you happy... :-D

Here I am fasting tonight in prep for some lab work in the morning and you have to go and promote free food........ :-( Bright side is I don't have any left out feelings though. :-D :cheers:

A lot of factors in the big equation but I'm working on getting those that I can control plugged in. I'm way overdue for a speed safari, been missing the LSR family.

Gary

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will be taking you up on your offer. It's the people that make LSR so great. :cheers:

Post by: ronnieroadster on July 06, 2015, 05:29:32 PM: Hi Ed

All's well, just the usual lube oil sample prior to my normal periodic maint. check next week, even left 'em one of those random coolant samples :-D

A Loring safari this month hinges more on some life stuff scheduling curve balls I'm seeing in this at bat.

Post by: edinlr on July 12, 2015, 10:40:33 PM: I'm waiting to hear if Speed Week is being canceled, guess if I can't run three miles flat out, that 1 1/2 miles is the next best thing. According to the Salt Lake paper, they are supposed to decide tonight.
Title: Re: Maine Event - who's going?
Post by: Stainless1 on July 13, 2015, 12:13:43 AM: If it's in the paper it must be true... don't hold your breath... I personally am continuing to work on my junk for SpeedWeek.
If they call it, then I'll work for World of Speed. :cheers:
Title: Re: Maine Event - who's going?
Post by: fredvance on July 13, 2015, 10:07:01 AM: And if they call that we will shoot for Worlds Finals.
Title: Re: Maine Event - who's going?
Post by: Koncretekid on July 15, 2015, 07:47:30 AM: I'll be there with the 600cc APS-PG motor partially streamlined this year (ran the open bike record last year) trying to push my personal best record up above the 150 mph run at Bonneville last year.

And with what is going on with the Salt this year, we could see more competitors this year than ever before. Any chance of getting the second runway going for licensing and slower vehicles?

If the weather in Maine has been like Nova Scotia this year, it might even feel a bit like Bonneville.
