There will be many more changes in that record book before its all said and done. Everyone bring your big boy pants and some oil dry. I think some people are going to be pushing those engines over the limit to get those green hats!!!!!

 What I don't want to miss is a certain two wheeled missiles possible attempt at a Maxton 3 club.

I'm pretty sure that there are no plans for that JJ. 272 is about as fast as anyone would want to go at Maxton methinks.

Who will make the "last" pass of this era at Maxton? Just the last person in line at 2:00 pm or perhaps a chosen person or persons selected by the members or by the directors?

Sell raffle tickets for the last pass honor.  Could be a money maker.

I just read somewhere that the next goal was 300 at maxton. Don't quote me on it though.

300 in the mile, not 300 at Maxton, according to Bill.

I bet he could do it, but it would be extra-exciting in shutdown.

I actually read 300 at maxton somewhere but you know how credible the internet is at times.   :cheers:
 I thought it sounded a bit crazy but if someone had told me they were gonna go 270+ on a bike at maxton I would have been doubtful too.

Maybe some one else talking about the big number, not me. 
At Maxton I could never make the corner in shut-down at that speed.

Looking forward to running the new bike in the mile, where ever the ECTA goes. (I hear Florida is nice :-)

I would bet big money that the president and race director will be making the last pass at maxton. I certainly would not have it any other way. They deserve the last pass and final memory of this great place.

I love Maxton as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't mind driving a little farther for a track like this... :-D



I'm sure hoping 4 wilmington.

Mike, Charles, I think that is the high probability choice and a fine one. This might need a separate thread. The longest/oldest ECTA member, the member holding the most records, the member who set the most records, Greg Neal's Raffle idea, a group procession---lots of choices available. It's not so much that we leave, it's how we leave.
