An explanation,

We had to chat here, on the Nellis AFB site, as LVMAXX has felt slighted by the WCTA organisation committe (for questions about their event at the other end of the State of Nevada - Pershing/Lovelock).

I do not understand what has happened, but Richard will no longer post on the other thread for the WCTA - as he has made promises to Jon ('the Boss') not to air differences in the forum.  I posted there seeking confirmed dates as I should be able to make plans to be in the USA in '09.

Even from the UK I would hope both Pershing/Lovelock and Nellis AFB will be run as LSR events - just a shame that MKM will not be hosting the one at Nellis AFB this time.

Teacher!  Teacher!


As I rememer (?) from the start, you were never a part of the Las Vegas event and constantly bemoaned the fact.

Never could figure why they'd want to include whiney rent-a-rides.

Nor was he ever a part of the Pershing County event -  at his request -
So what we have here is a very uninformed individual making numerous unsubstantiated statements in a forum where he percieves that he has no accountability for his posts or actions.  Funny -  he made his "last post" on this subject a few weeks ago in another forum -  but I guess he figures he can hide out here and snipe away!
Richard, I Never understood why you spend so much time doing this -  instead of actually getting your car ready to run (either of them).
 How long have you been at this now?  and how much have you spent on this hobby?
 and how many sucessfull competitive runs have you actually had?  in either car?
 Seems to me you ought to be concerned with actually getting a car ready to run (and by that, of course, I mean finding people to do the work for you) -  before you start looking for more venues that you cannot compete in -  because your cars are not ready!

Forgive me for asking - but I've lost track of the basic subject of this thread.  Is there going to be a Las Vegas event?  At Nellis AFB, or anyplace?

for SSS & ogroup

MKM will not be running their open road events or the 'High Roller' Mile speed event at Nellis AFB, as they have closed their operation for 2009.  I have e mailed Mike but have not had any response.

Unless someone else picks up the baton there appear (from here in the UK) to be no Nevada located mile events in the near future.

Fallon was a suggestion based on having events with the rivalry & support of Air Force and Navy Air wings.

Malcolm:

Maybe you should either find the story in the archives -- or re-tell it for the entertainment of those that are relatively new to this Forum.  Heck, now that I think of it -- that was before there WAS a Forum on landracing.com.

And when you tell the story - be sure to put it in the ECTA section.

Back to the Laurinburg 17 -- I wasn't there for the ordeal and don't know for sure just where the restaurant is/was located.  I believe it's now gone, consumed by flames.  Was it the place that's directly across the lawn from the Pine Acres Motel (now it's Jerry's Bar-B-Que)?

Attnetion everyone:   Pester Malcolm 'til he tells the story.  It's a sad tale of racers gone wild!

With all the cabin fever, ice storms, snow storms, etc going on, I think we could all use some humorous stories.  How about sharing?!!
