Sounds like you may be vacillating and looking for support in your decision ?
I commented on this in a separate topic, it's your personal decision based on your specific needs and desires.
Nothing compares to "Da Salt", and our deal is just an alternative event in it's first year.
 If your final decision was based on economics, the LTA is the easy choice, but typically if we in LSR made decisions based on logic,we'd be sitting on our front porches, knitting.
Next year should be very interesting.

Bob, speaking of next year, do you have a tentative date in mind? Hopefully not so close to speedweek.

Fred,
LTA 2010 at this point would still come no earlier than the first full weekend in August, as in the 6th through the 8th. Remember, we are technically on probation with all the official entities that allow our event this year. Therefore everybody should be on their best behavior this year, Safety First, and when in doubt, Don't.
If we are as low impact as we've said we are, hopefully we can get an earlier start more conducive to all LSR enthusiasts then having to choose  attending which event.
If this goes as well as we'd like, I think attendance decisions will be a lot easier in the aftermath.

Thanks Bob, I am pretty sure my priorities will be the opposite next year. If it comes to Speedweek or Loring it will be Loring, I just gotta run a mile&1/2 on pavement with loys of shutdown, at 500 ft elevetion and cooler temps. Darn as I write this I start thinking about credit cards and this year.lol

Do it, Fred.  A mile and a half on pavement!  Don't worry about the credit card.  It's the American way.  Just go and have fun.  Your trailer has enough room to sleep in it once you take the bike out.  Spam, beer and jalepeno spread - -who needs a food budget?

Moose hurt bad?

I just hope they didn't do a catch and release with plans to drop him off in Loring!

It's 110 degrees in my shop and 102 degrees in the back yard.  Too hot to work on the car.  Remembering some roasters waiting in staging at Bonneville, Maxton, and Texas Mile, I got to wondering what it might be like waiting in staging at Loring.  Browsing the internet, I found that it is 77 degrees right now.  Although it is possible to reach a hundred degrees in Maine, it is a truly historical event when it does, and the possibility of succumbing to heat stroke in racing leathers or driving suit in August is highly unlikely.

  It could be in the 90's with 100% humidity! I live 200 miles south yesterday I was sweating with 76 degrees and 100% humidity.

 A calf. I hit an young Moose on my way to work at midnight with a 1 ton chevy van a few year ago. I walked away with only a sore knee. My Van was totaled, engine shoved back an inch. Loaded the 850 lb Moose on a friends truck and got 400 lbs of steak and hamburger out of it.      Ted
