I'm Sean. I live in Indiana. I plan to attend the Texas Mile event in March of 2009 with my Hayabusa. The goal is to have a turbo on the bike before then. If I can't get it done, I'll just run nitrous. I'm going to hit 200. Ya like the optimism? lol

Hi, Sean.  So -- downtown Indiana or out in the suburbs?  No matter where -- it's not all that far from anyplace in the Hoosier state to get to Maxton, so maybe you could visit there, too.  We look forward to meeting you in person.

I'm in Evansville, which is waaaay down in the state. I'm on the Ohio River, just across the bridge from Kentucky. I will attend every event I can throughout the year. I work a lot, but I'll try to schedule my vaction time around the cool stuff. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

4.17 inches, Welcome to LSR.  You might think about Maine in early August, you could travel all over the country chasing LSR this year.  One of the posts shows every LSR weekend during race season... it is most of the ones from May to Nov.
Good luck with your racing, if you get to the salt, stop by for a beer....

For the record, 106mm refers to the turbo on my street/strip Corvette. You guys have entirely too much time on your hands...or too much trivial information in your skulls! lol

Hello my name is Conrad and the last time I was on the salt was Aug. 1972 on my honeymoon. I still have the same wife and car(X/L belly tank) unfortunately all of us now are a little worse for wear.
  I have been building with the help of an old friend a 244" rear engined lakester with a stock turbo powered 2.3 Ford at first. We have been working about six years and hope to run Maxton in October. We have been many times to Maxton helping on a rear engined modified roadster which won the points championship this year. We try and steal a little technology for the lakester while we're there.
When I figure out how post pictures I will look foward to getting your comments.

Hi all.
Well, after many years involved in building cars, racing bikes ect ect I find myself preparing to build a LSR car. Hope to be on the salt in 2010, but 2011 may be a more realistic date. These things tend to start simple and somehow evolve into monsters. Many of you know exactly how this goes. :-D
Anyhow, I will be asking lots of questions and posting photos as the build progresses.

Cheers
 :cheers:

Hey, Groove.

I wondered where you were. Last I heard, you were In The Heart.

Ha! Nice one roadsters.com!
Im out of Kelowna, B.C. Canada about 3.5hrs drive east of Vancouver. In the 'heart' of wine country :-D.

55chevr,

Im thinking of the vintage competition coupe class (VGCC), but I have a few options. A little more research is going to be needed. As far as engine, thats a little foggy. I have a flathead begging for a home, but Im thinking I want to go faster.. Isnt that always the way it is?
