September in Wilmington

[TAKERRY]

Thanks but I guess I'll pass. I'm still upset about Bonneville don't want to be shut down again. Next year ECTA May and hopefully Bonneville in September.

Bonneville in September?   Wheres all the missing salt coming from to make next year happen?

It's official - the Geezers are coming to watch everyone go fast! Ask us about turn key 200 mph race cars just sitting around!! See you there.

Just a side note.  We had been on the wait list and are now in to race.  We were also able to get a room in Wilmington ...which had been previously sold out.  Things are changing around a bit.  😊

During a previous stay in Wilmington we ate at the General Denver hotel...had some delicious burgers.  We also walked around a cool little used book/music store called For a Song and a Story on Locust street. Neat little place, the owner was awesome.  She gave us a map and told us some places to visit.

The City of Wilmington is always so welcoming.  We try to patronize the local shops whenever we are there.

I'll just put this out there. I had to cancel my event registration and hotel reservation at the General
Denver so there may be a room available.
Found out last Thursday I will be getting my gallbladder removed this Wednesday.
Have fun, go fast and be safe everyone.

Sorry to hear that Tim.  Get well and we'll see you next season.

 Were back home after another great ECTA event.  This was the largest field of vehicles ever at the Wilmington Mile. Both staging lanes on Saturday were full all the way from the pits to the starting line the ECTA crew did a hell of a job keeping things moving along even with some rain and wind issues.
  This was my first year running a roadster I saved the best run in a mile for the last event bumping the XF/BGRMR record to 179.8561 MPH. My little flathead Ford V-8 sure likes being in a roadster. I want to thank my entire crew without their help this would not be possible. 
   The learning curve with the roadster was interesting this year I now have plenty of  information to build on maybe a 180 MPH pass in the standing mile can happen running a flathead Ford V-8 burning gasoline. Stay tuned

Ron, REALLY great seeing you and the gang at this meet and I feel HONORED to have let you know the speed about the 179 pass.  Your expression was, as the commercial says, Priceless!

186 at Loring and 179 here this year, can't wait to see what happens next year!

See ya in 2016,
Gregg

So glad I decided to come. Ran almost 144 MPH without any problems. Trans still wouldn't shift into 4th unless I lifted a little then slam it to the floor again. Met some great people and saw some amazing vehicles. Thanks to all the staff you did a great job. See you in May.

We had a great time last weekend.  Saturday reminded me of being in line at Bonneville, but Sunday made up for it.  I am excited about the 3 day meets next year.  We stayed at the Holiday Inn on the freeway.  I was hoping there wouldn't be a dog show, but not only was there a dog show, but also a cat show.  The elevators smelled like a barnyard, don't people bathe their dogs before a show?  On the plus side, it looks like Wilmington is coming along pretty well after DHL left, I noticed they have a bunch of SCCA races there also.
