« on: July 19, 2011, 12:54:08 PM »
I want to let all of our fellow racers know that 2 of our own Members of the ECTA just got into the 2 Club at Loring,,, I know this is our ECTA board here,,, but you all know these 2 guys and they have worked there tails off for a few years and they just did it,,, they each made a personal best at 210.xxx mph,,, great for them,,,

Now let's see if that Super Charged Black T Bird can do 200 in Sept or Oct at our track...

Lawson and Terry, it was a pleasure celebrating with you guys over dinner Sunday night,,, see you at Maxton
and once again,,, Congratulations !!!

It goes to show - that folks that help, work without pay, are tireless in their support of the racing -- will eventually get their thanks.  And they get our congratulations, best wishes, and big smiles for when we see them next time.

Good going, gentlemen!!  Nancy and I send our best wishes!! :cheers:

Good for Thomas!  I didn't know he was riding - but it's no surprise that he was fast!  Which bike?

To make it short, I blew the head gasket by short shifting into 5th gear ( massive load for a small engine at to low of an rpm for the hp it was trying to make) due to not having the proper valve train parts in the car. I was trying to just get down the track and make a pass.
