SSS,  there are several aerial shots of the facility available,,,

my guess is with this being so new,,, we should not jump in at this point,,, let all the INK dry on the deal, next April will come soon enough..

But just driving by the Air Park and looking around town for Hotels, eating places etc,, and a casual drive to see the location would "seem" OK,,,

Also finding a race fuel vendor,,, I found one less than an hour away,,,,

Hopefully a one year deal will turn into a multiyear deal.   :cheers:

Stan Back,

It is only 2241 from my house. I will pick you up on the way. 2241 x 2 = 4481 / 10 = 448 x $4.00 = $1792 for diesel round trip. We split the cost of fuel and we are off. What do you think?

Tom G.

PS. I am happy for the ECTA in securing this deal.
I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

 I am excited... Now maybe some of those big power cars can put down some clean runs. I would like to see the ECTA be home of the outright mile record.

Are you telling me I have an LSR venue 7 1/2 hours away from my doorstep?  :-o

Boys and girls, I am the happiest man in Wisconsin!

Thanks for negotiating this deal - this is huge news for me.  :cheers:

This here is a great deal even though it's a LOT further for me personally.  Some gotta win, some gotta lose......

GREAT effort from Joe and Keith.  If I knew how I'd post applauding smilies, one with curly blond hair.  Carry on my wayward sons (too many old song lyrics?).

Thanks - now on to racing.

Tom --

Great idea!  Always wanted to run ECTA!  We'll take a wheel off the roadster and run it as an Unlimited Sidecar!  See if we can get Bakker to ride in it!  Glory be!  All-new open records!  Just as good as the SCTA's move to add .2 miles on at Muroc!  When do we leave?

Great News!  With 4 events versus the 3 talked about earlier I may have to consider relocating my RV up there from Lumberton though I would have to winterize it up there.  Debating unloading it and getting an extended van customized from Sportmobile instead to make the trips with.  Still around 400 miles for me which adds up at 8 max mpg.  Then there is 900 to Loring and 2,200 to the flats to consider....  Guess life isn't too bad if thes are my big problems though!   :cheers:

This is Great news.  I have been posting this on every website I know.  And others should do the same.  Car, bike, HotRod, scooter, whatever you think will attract new LSR racers and those who have never tried LSR racing.  The Wilmington runways are FLAT, Smoooooooth and long.  It just doesn't get any beyt than this.  wooHoo!

I remember posting that Joe and Keith were very resourceful and they would get a deal done. I am sure this is a one year deal for evaluation by both sides. It is up to us to make this work.

Great job by ECTA board ... Joe
