Name the inaugural event
« on: February 04, 2009, 09:03:55 AM »
Bonneville has names like "Speed Week", "World Finals" is there going to be a name associated with the LTA event? Anyone have any thoughts on an appropriate name?

Being the guy that is the most visible as I'm the online answerer, there may be a perception I'm the main Maine man. Actually, the LTA is an association  of a core group of enthusiasts that all have coalesced into accepting tasks specific to their skills.
Bobby Jepson is my original partner from day one, mostly takes care of all things purely organizational  and official, namely the LTA LLC, that's us. He is also taking care of the preregistrations and rulebooks by mail. This and running a business full time in the Boston area. Tell him Thanks when you meet him.
Joe Daly is in charge of Tech, will run same for cars and bikes at LTA/09 . He has experience at ECTA, and is Car Tech in training down there. We will have other well- known tech/safety inspectors, to be announced. Joe also has a brother and brother -in-(out)law in his crew to help us. Joe lives in Long Island, NY and works at the AA Facility at JFK in the facilities Maintenance dept. He knows Airports. Also an Ex-NYPD.
And is a SCTA Bike record holder.Tell him Thanks when you meet him.
Mark Sotomayor is our real Maine Main Man. His family owns  http://www.impacauto.com/index.htm and is located directly abutting our pits area.
Mark is a LSR newbie, his Kawi was our Bike demo at the Media event up there last year. Mark does all our in person contacts in the LTA area, ie; Hotels, talking w/ FD, PD, etc.  He's been on board since very early in this project.Tell him Thanks when you meet him.
ECTA has been our Mentor/Guru  AND is allowing us the use of their Rulebook and Forms,
Scott Guthrie has been whispering in our ears,as  have the Drosses, and a few pals at SCTA , and a lot  of people that I have on a Volunteer list that WILL hear from me. 
So it's actually BobW-BobJ-MarkS-JoeD-Turks-Timneys-Drosses-Maine Event .
Tell them all Thanks when you meet them.
Keep this thread going,we'll probably go with the most popular...

"Maine Event" does have a nice ring or catch to it, but does it equate to what we do or what this is all about?  Does it need to ? 

"Maine Speed Trials"

"Maine Speed Zone"

Let me give it some more thought,,, me thinks we needs to have a name that kinda hints to the goings on.

OK, I'll give you one more to chew on...

I thought about Limestone Speed Trials, Caribou LSR, but .... its Maine

Sorry Linda, that's 5 but it works out to LSR ME
