decker Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 The quarter mile and a Volvo have never seemed to sit right with me... but this place and the Texas Mile... now that'd be a place to see how fast your Volvo really is... I know if I lived in that neck of the woods I'd be checking it out. "The Loring Timing Association will be holding their Inaugural Land Spe"ed Race at the former Loring Air Force Base near Limestone, Maine on July 31st, August 1st, August 2nd, 2009. I'm still waiting to find out if spectators will be able to dry camp overnight, being this is a first time event the progress has been at times painfully slow, with the racing venue itself taking priority. I'll be there with the Wild Hare Racing Wabbit and we competitors have just recently received permission to camp overnight in the same area where we will be pitting our race cars and I am awaiting information on spectator camping as well as spectator admission fees, I am thinking that they will be very similar to those at Maxton. We will be racing a standing start timed 1.5 mile course on the 12,100 foot main runway (at Maxton the timed course is 1 mile) http://www.lta-lsr.com/track.htm and using the same rules and classes that are used at Maxton, the top speeds should be faster due to the extra half mile of timed length, so if you live in the northeast and haven't had a chance to get to Maxton to see what Land Speed Racing is all about, here is an opportunity to do just that. I apologize for this being done at the last minute, but the information has been coming very slowly. I will post more information as soon as I get it." This is just priceless...
