I'm thinking of organizing a Land Speed Race in the Philippines. What are the rules and other needed equipment needed in a land speed race? Thanks.  |

That topic has been discussed several times on this board. I would suggest using the search tool. There have been at least three seperate topics that have been discussed in depth.
Welcome to the website.

I looked around a little, no joy, but I would suggest reading the information available at the ECTA and Texas Mile Websites. You might want to contact those organizations directly, both have started from scratch....lately...
Read the scta rulebook, it will address some of the event and safety concerns you will have.
Organize a group of dedicated volunteers to help run the event.
Read about the troubles Bub is having on this website
Read everything in the ECTA, Bub and Texas Mile sections of this website.
Have you attended an event? That will get you a feel for what you are in for.

Who are those organizers there? Can you give me an email so that I will email them? I live in the Philippines.I've seen the Land Speed event in You Tube and I was influenced by some of the international members of GearSpeed Motorsports.So it came in my mind why don't I organize an event here in the Philippines although instead of a desert (which we don't have here) the airport is an alternative for it. |

As I said, read all those things. The homepage has links to all of the landspeed organizations, their websites have contact info. Hope you are looking at an inactive runway. Good Luck with your venture, I think Bub is only a half million  in the hole after 4 years, heard they almost made enough to pay the bills last year..... |

TX is almost too short at about 9,000' and they don't start at the end---you do need someover run could be gravel or grass--and or catch nets---dragstrip might already have it!!!!

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.

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 Johansson |
