There is a new venue (short course) for Land Speed Record attempts. The ECTA (East Coast Timing Assoc)
has purchased time for high speed attempts at the old Wilmington, OH. ABX 9,000 foot runway this Spring. This is fantastic news as it is only 30 minutes from me. It is completely paved so it will be a hard surface racing. half mile run-up, 1 mile timed course, then an approx half mile run down area.
First race and time trials are in April 27, 28, 29. I will definately be there. Not sure i want to take the '40 down there as I will most likely be towing it home. I tend to have a heavy right foot. It would be nice to see what the top end would be?
Also, HotRod Magazine will be there filming thier HotRod Shootout for all street vehicles. This was an event previously held in North Carolina by the ECTA.
