Well, as of today, I am planning on being there with something. Right now it looks it maybe my Taurus.

1989 Taurus SHO
F/BGC (I might run F/PRO also and/or T.O.)

But who knows for sure .....

If I don't get the Stude done,, I was thinking about running my family sedan in street class.

2005 Mercedes S430 (4 door sedan)  Guess I can keep it below the 135 limit since no roll bar ??

Cajun --

Why don't you run the E motor in the Vicky and see if it will go over 140?

Stan the E motor has gone over 140...Saving the E for the Stude,,, making good progress,,, If I just had an envelope with $15,000 to $20,000 in it I could get the Stude done for Loring.  Now we have 90% of the big parts here,,, just need the cash to finish !!!  I am sure that is a very common problem on most every build.

Lack of cash or funding seems to be a common reason that builds slow down and get behind schedule.

One sedan (sub 135mph) from Vermont.  Probability 90%.  Some of our group will be available as volunteers (shutdown etc).

I'd just like to reiterate how the LTA would really appreciate if more entrants would pre register. It would help us gauge attendance so we would not be caught short on porta potties . Seriouslier, we really need to get the best idea possible, for volunteer recruiting, security issues, and all that non-racing stuff that has to be done.
The more stuff that's pretty-well planned for gives us more time to ourselves to maybe even race our own cars, which was the original point of this venture.
You save $25, get a head start on paperwork and tech, and endear yourselves to  the people working the registration center ( card table ? )
The only idea we have at this time is the thread on this list and the ones reserved rooms at the CARIBOU INN. (remember, mention the LTA racers discount when you call)

Thank You

Hotel is reserved.  Registration should go out in the mail tomorrow.

Question - will the trailers stay at the site or have to be hauled each day?  If they stay, will there be folks staying overnight at the location?

Dear Wheels, ( I feel like Dear Abby,)
We'll be up there the 27/28 , will hopefully get a favorable decision on that. The Base powers-that-be initially asked that the place be unoccupied overnight for the benefit of the security of the businesses that are adjacent to our site. I hope they'll understand what a difficulty it would be to move everything off and on every night.
In reality, there'd be more security with our group on base than off, is our point.
As the State Police will also be present this month, ideally there'd be some of them also attending our meet as fellow LSR enthusiasts.
I'll let you know where we stand when we return.
I'm sure we'll come up with something to your satisfaction.

I'll be satisfied.  Racing vs. Racing with a little extra work is still an awesome opportunity.   :cheers: 
We would just have to work things out with everyone at the hotel.   :?

thanks for all your hard work in trying to get this event off the ground.  Inaug events are the most difficult.

Dear Glen,
So far this site has been without HIS input, don't make it a challenge. As it's an Ex-Airfield, I'm sure there'd be lots of historical cuttage and pastage spewed.
The Loring Development Authority did OK daily fly-ins-outs for spectators, just give us advance warning as we don't want planes downed by Hayabusas. (Birds)
Wheels !
I can't guarantee this 100%, but I feel confidant we'll have the trailers in a secure site.

Unfortunately, I just got laid off and now won't have the $$ to get everything ready that I would need. Perhaps I will make it as a spectator or a volunteer. It looks like I have the summer off. :x
