Hey I've got a second gen Firebird small block. Twin turbos sounds interesting. Anyway got the new 700 trans in and all goes well I'll see everyone in July. April was a disaster burned up the trans on the first run. Thinking of staying at the Hampton Inn in Washington Court 16.5 miles away. Any thoughts?

I stayed at the Baymont in Jeffersonville for the last meet.  It was fine but a bit further out of the way than would be optimal.  If you call the Wilmington Inn and tell them you're a ECTA racer they'll take care of you.  My room for the next meet is $55/night and just a couple of miles from the track.  I'll wager the place you're considering is fine but a bit too far away if you can have as nice a room for the same $$ in Wilmington.

Just for grins - anyone know the airport code for the Wilmington, OH airport?  Ours is ILM in Wilmington, NC.  I think Delaware has WIL.

Its going to be close but it looks like the Time Bomb will make the show. Double down ohio maine weekends for us!!!!

I wish you guys the best(bout time for a break). Stay safe and go fast.


As far as I'm concerned I will not be making the July ohio or the Maine event as a matter of fact as of now I am in retirement. I may come back sometime in the future but not until I can find the hidden intermittant problem that has been plauging me for like 2 years now. Everyone thinks it's because I am trying to run the car too hard but it's not I have been turning the car down(in power) everytime out and I recently over hauled most of the car trying to remove the problem. Didn't work, at the june Ohio mile the car was turned down about 500 awhp from where it has been sucsessfully run in the past and it should make 600++ more than it was at but still it failed.
So as of now I'm parkin it and probably won't touch it for quite a long time as I am digusted with the thing.
Rant over.

I hope everyone has a great time(I know I won't) be safe and beat your personal bests.

Me and the misses have stayed at the Baymont in Jeffersonville both events. It is next door to Werner's Smokehouse. Try the "Hog Wings" and a cold adult beverage. Yum Yum!!! Richard and Barbara run the place. Great folks!!!!

Would like to bring the turbo'd Sportster up, but not sure if I will have enough time to convert it or even if there are any spots left open.

NOPE!  Wilmington, NC is ILM - we often use it as an abbreviation for the name of the town.  You'll find it's used all over town in ads, etc.  The list I found showed ILN as Wilmington, OH and I never did find Wilmington, DE (but who cares besides Joe & Donna?)!

Dan is correct. ILN=typo N next to M, KILN = ICAO list not FAA. I'll shut up now. See you there. :cheers:

International Air Transport Association (IATA) established 3 letter code designations for airports to standardize abbreviations. Most have an origin derived from the airports name.

Wilmington Ohio - Airborne Air Park - Clinton County Airport - ILN
Wilmington North Carolina - Wilmington International Airport - ILM

And some of them are not intuitive:  O'Hare field, Chicago = ORD

Before the airport was turned into a big-time place it was Orchard field,  ergo ORD.

Back to who's going to the Ohio July event.
