Is it the runway on the former Clark Air Base by Angeles City?  I did a quick Google Earth search and used the Measure feature and found it to be approx. 2.3 miles long.

GSK, you might also contact Joe Timney and Keith Turk to see what they went through to put together the ECTA. Their e-mail and web site are listed on this site. Good luck on your venture , you well be very busy just to gather information.

Sir can you give a link?
Thanks.

[quote author=Carl Johansson

didn't Joe and Keith take over ECTA after it had been formed and was up and running?  That was my impression from talking with Joe,  but I may have misunderstood -  I'm good at that!

Carl you understood quite well.

With all due respect to Msrs Turk and Timney, ECTA was formed in the early 90's by John Beckett and Tom Sarda.  The first meet was in Moultrie Ga. and moved to Maxton I think in 1995.  The two surviving records from Moultrie are Joe Laws Lakester, and my own in the Merk.

I think Keith and Joe have great plans for the organization, and I'm hoping to race again within their juristiction.

This is one but no space for braking.

If you do a 1 Mile event on a 12000 ft runway you will have the best venue available outside the salt.  All the other miles are on shorter tracks.

I am leaving the Philippines today.  I spoke to a few people from the Subic area (30 min from Angeles) who are interested in LSR.  I heard people who are using the new freeway between Angeles and Subic for "testing". 

 I plan on making another trip to the PI in December.  Maybe something will be going on by then.  I would love to help in any way even though I am a two wheeler guy. 

I really enjoyed my two weeks here!  Scott

Here is a pic of me on one of the tens of thousands of 100-200cc bikes that populate Metro Manila.
