    Your list of needs is outstanding truly an in your face to the reality of what its going to take if and when  a new location is found. Many of us have no idea what it takes to put on these events. The fact the ECTA has an excellent track record on how to do it and do it well for such a long time leaves me wanting to support their efforts since I know when it happens their events will be hard to beat.

 I believe most do know it's a lot of work......and that's why there's so few willing to help out... :-D

I hope wherever, whatever that is, that the BLM is not involved.

Here is a direct cut and paste from the Facebook entry that Tonya posted today . . . .

"Racing in 2018 is a go!! We have secured three dates for 2018 at the airstrip in Blytheville, AR. MEMBERSHIPS WILL NOT START UNTIL JANUARY 1st.
Mark your calendars for the following dates:
April 20 - 22
June 2 - 3
September 28 - 30
Please be patient with us as we start putting all of this together to move forward. We know you want to make your 2018 plans, so our first goal was to get you dates. Everything else is still in the planning stage."


Time to get back into the garage.  Where did I put that to-do list?

Just when I was starting to enjoy the 24 hour drives to Bonneville, I hear that ECTA will be 3 hours from home.  This is great news for me, thanks Keith.

The bank of one of the largest water ways is located about 15 miles east of Blytheville...
So yes Jack, Central Coast would be appropriate, but don't expect a name change from the organization....
They have enough paperwork to do  :cheers:

Teice as far as Loring for us but entirely doable.I'm sure whatever date we choose it will be a lot warmer than Loring.

Well its two days drive and two days back plus a couple of days running that's extremely hard for my crew chief to get the time off from the job looks like it wont work out for us.  Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
