Woody, I picked your brain while we checked out that fantastic new 'liner build.  Light didn't go on as to who I was talking to until I was 1/2 way up I 95 on the way home Sunday.  My brain was bouncing off the limiter so much was going on and so much to catch up on all at once.

Caught up with a lot of folks and met a bunch of new including Chris and his very supportive bride.  Glad they got to make some serious noise without the grenade making a big bang.

Had a great time despite the starting weather.  To my knowledge Maxton never had a total washout but the start of this meet sure had me wondering....

A big thanks to the ECTA organizers, all the volunteers, local townspeople, and the entire Land Speed family for all the good times I've had at Maxton over the last 9 years.

Looking forward to seeing everybody again and meeting more new at Wilmington next year!

To my knowledge Maxton never had a total washout but the start of this meet sure had me wondering.... The only rain-out was the first meet in '98...it rained from Thursday thought Monday. When to beer ran out Sunday in early afternoon, we called it!

I would like to thank everyone who came out this past weekend to help out, race or just visit. Fo me, it was hard to see end but "See You In Ohio"

What was so great?

Got to spend 2 days with my buds!!!!!

If anyone is interested I have posted about 100 images from the last meet at Maxton on my photo web site. I have been there several times before with my Dad and brother who run the black Saab, but have never taken much in the way of photos. It is a bit more tricky taking high speed panning shots of cars, than the mountain bikes I typically shot. I had a bast and hope to make it up to Wilmington, OH next year.

Are photos 51-100 duplicates of 1-50?

Great meet, tough wind on Saturday, snatched up the two records we ran all over in June and did not know it. Overcame our clutch on Sunday chasing the M-BF record. Not at all a shabby first season doing this. There's a LOT of work ahead to get ready for next year! Thanks much for Joe and Donna, Keith and Tonya. Took us right in, squeezed out shoues and taught us a lot.
