the BIG question: dates of 2010 Loring LSR event?????

[entropy]

I sure hope Bob & company consider the 1st running of the Loring LSR event such a success that they want to do another in 2010.
EVERY single racer & spectator i talked to said that the inaugural event was a huge success 

If Bob has the energy & will, is it too early to start planning 2010 dates?

Since 2010 Speed Week is planned for Aug 13-19, it would seem that Sat July 31 & Sun Aug 1 would work?
(give the salty folk 2 weeks to prep & get to Bonneville)

Just a thought.

I understand that The Loring Redevelopment Authority has to INVITE us back before any planning can begin.

That Date is my wedding anniversary date again .... But if we know  enough in advance I can ask for a "hall pass" to Loring for my anniversary....   
I do not want to miss this event,,, I hate I missed this years..

Charles ... beautiful country ... especially down east a bit ... like Bar Harbor ... take your wife and spent a couple of days on the Maine shore ... I guess you arent over 50 ... because you know if you are over 50 if you don't care where your wife goes as long as you don't have to go with her ... plus you can bet she feels the same way about you ...

Joe,,,  ssshhh... you might be right.

We did the cruise this year for our anniversary,,, so next year I get to choose,,, and my mind is made up... Loring ....... Maybe a side trip to see Maine and Canada if my wife wants to come,, if not me and the crew will hang with all our LSR friends...

I just hope LTA gets invited back for another event.

 "If Bob has the energy & will, is it too early to start planning 2010 dates"
The Mind is willing, but......Nah, I got the energy.
I'll propose July 30, 31, August 1, and Maybe August 2nd as a rain day or in case we get seriously discovered.
An August 13th start for SW is great ! It gives anyone interested in attending both events a little breathing room, especially compared to this year.
Let's not get too far ahead on this, we're still unraveling all this years' info, even as well as a first event as it was, there are obvious improvements to be made .
I believe we made a good impression, and need to take a kind of census to see what else the commercial interests up there might want to extend to the LTA , besides free road kill Barbecue Moose samples in the staging lanes. (Anybody have some ?)
I do know it wasn't  the Female so many of you have seen that hangs around the south end of the Runway , I saw her after  Sunday. Somebody named her Sophia (Loring) .
I digress, we've been kind of loafing since the meet, bathing in that warm afterglow of apparent success,  need to get back on the phones.
Stay Tuned, you ain't seen nothing yet !!!

Bob, you just say hen and I guarantee I'll be checking the date off on the calender.  It was a great time for us all.  Everyone that didn't go is talking about going next year.  The potential for a very large turn out is there.  Both participants and spectators.  You spoke to me for a minute Friday and said you thought the potential for the place was unlimited.  I think you may be right.  Thanks for sharing your dream with us all.  Looking forward to the 2nd time around.

Ah, I did have some of the moose in the staging lanes!!!  I could have had that pulled and spicy on a hard roll both days for lunch!!!

Great job Bob, I sure hope they invite us back.

So far the feed back that I'm hearing is that you guys are going to have many more people next year!!!  Many people are wishing they went and I haven't heard anyone say they wouldn't go back.  So that's a warning to you guys putting it on, there WILL be many more racers there next year.  And that's a great thing for the event and sport as a whole.

This is the fastest venue here in the USA and probably the world and words out.

The sooner the date is picked the better.  July 30th - Aug 1st sounds good to me. A second event in the fall would be a good idea as well so if the first event gets rained out you aren't done for the season. Plus the fall temps there would be cooler and more conducive to making more power.

CAJUN...........bite your tongue. You didn't really say any of those things.

Our 55th anniversary was August 6th. That was full moon. Years ago I did fotos of 216 as the moon came up. I intended to

repeat those shots this year. I changed my mind and stayed home. Just as well. the wind blew it out anyhow.

That was a foto that ment a lot to me, especially the way Speed Week unfolded, but I figure I will be living a few more

years and the decision was definite but difficult. In my opinion, that one day bought me many weeks...........

My wife said, "go ahead and go." That's sorta like "whatever" or "maybe." The connotation is much more definitive that

the statement.

August 6th also has covered the only NASCAR race I really wanted to see.........Indy 400 (by whatever name it is that year)

but so be it...............

I'd be in, and given the projected outcome for next year...what about 3 days? 

 

[Nosgsx1300]

I will be there racing instead of working the starting line

[California Kid]

I'm back ,
              Put me on the list for 2010 when you start one . I drove from ca to maine round trip was 7038 miles and cost me $6,200 and I plan on doing it again in 2010 .

Thanks
Bill
