Dean, when I spoke to Turk around 11:13am today, he just confirmed the deal and that we got 4 events per year.

They are now packed up and heading towards Maxton,,,for our event this weekend.

I am sure they want to share more of the good news and dates etc... at the drivers meeting.

If I can get more details.. I will post them,,,

Fantastic News!   See . . . for all you guys that made fun of us 'Mid-Westerners' . . . we ain't all bad  :-D   This is a really exciting deal for myself, the FlatCad team and others who want to be able to race on this side of the USA.   

I'm looking forward to this venue -- great job by all involved!

Here's a thought, and maybe someone will give me some feedback:

Nancy and I are probably going to the October ECTA event at Maxton.  Maybe - just maybe, at this point -- we could go to Maxton via Wilmington and get some photos and other information to post here on the site.  So the question is:

Will we have any difficulty finding it?  And another question:  Will we need to get in touch with someone/anyone to get access to the area?  And yet another -- Joe and Keith, should we or shouldn't we do the above-mentioned detour?  You're welcome to PM or email me with your comments.  The rest of you folks out there in internetland -- whaddaya think of the idea?

(break)

I just asked Mapquest, and it says that it's 513 from Wilmington to Maxton.  That isn't bad -- could make the trip in about the same time as the Skandia, Michigan to Maxton trip.  Hmmm. . .
