Hot Rod Magazine Top Speed Challenge
The fourth annual Top Speed Challenge, sponsored by Hot Rod Magazine, is coming at the April meet, April 5-6. The rules are the same as last year’s meet, and can be seen here.

In other news, the track has never been better. The ECTA completed extensive track repairs and a new tower has been built, so we are ready to run. So come and take a run for one of the jackets.

As always, in addition to the HRM challenge, the meet is open to all member competitors, both motorcycles and cars. We hope to see you there.

In addition, there is some chat on Hot Rod Magaizines web site forum. Is this event a go? Will HRM be there? Who is promoting it and advertising it????

Even talk on NASA and other Forums.....ALL BUT THE LSR FORUMS! Strange....

I am a new member of ECTA but to answer your question YES the event is still on. It was a big hit last time and from all the chat and converastions I have seen, looks like if the weather is good it is going to be GREAT.

ECTA has there own website with info and rules on the event as well,, the link is on the landracing.com home page upper left side of page.

Good luck and hope to see you in April...

This gig is definatly still on. There is no much talk about who is running b/c most people that run the event still don't have their cars together!!!!!!!! hotrod.com also has the forum but there is not alot of action there lately. If your racing bring your right foot and we'll see you their!!!lol
