Land speed racing at Loring AFB Maine. Who's going?

August 1&2. It's coming up fast. Who's going to be there? I'm unable to go to Bonneville this year, so I'm still going to get my "fix" in Maine. I'll be taking my grandson with me. He's turning into a regular gearhead, so this should get his attention.


Here's the link to answer any questions.

man i wish , i sure hope someone gets lots of pics..
congrats with the grandson man!

 

My friend and I are making a roadtrip out of it so I will be bringing my camera and certainly getting loads of pictures.

I hope it turns out to be a big event.

Does anyone know whats required at the minimum to race? Is there a rulebook or manual available? I'm totally new to this.

 

Crap! That's the first I've heard of this. I'm gonna check my schedule!

 

Hmmm, AFB.........
Take a large trailer, bring home jet engines!

 

Hey what else is there to see and do in Maine while we're up there?

 

Motorcycle this year ... Vintage Comp Coupe next year ... I will be teching bikes ... there are over 50 entries so far ... I am guessing that there will be 70 entries ... split evenly between cars and bikes ... Mile and a half with good paving, 800 feet altitude ... Joe ...

They are using the ECTA rules. You can go to their web site to get them.

I'll be there with Gustafson Racing and a black Corvette.

 

I think I meet you at Oley two years ago, you run a '37 Big Twin Harley at Maxton right? I should get up there, it is closer than Maxton and Bonneville, plus the FIRST time for anything is special.

 

I`m going .

 

WoW!

Sturgis
Bonneville
Westboro MA
Loring
Louisville

All the same weekend

I'll be in Louisville for the 40th.

Good luck on Loring for the 1st

Just looked at the map, that is WAY up North isn't it!

 

...yea, it's just a few miles up the road!! haha

 

I think Bonneville is actually a shorter drive!

 

I can't make it this year, but I really really hope they keep it going so I can try again next time!

 

"Other life" stuff threw a wet blanket over a '09 B'ville safari for me. 490 miles vs 2500 to Mecca and about 900 to Maxton, how can I resist? Sky doesn't fall in the meantime I'll be there as one of the 260 go fers.

We're taking I-95 up for the majority of the trip from Boston to Loring AFB...

Are there any must-visit places along the way? I'm not talking about the regular tourist attractions-type stuff... I'm talking about any cool junkyards, deserts, forests, just cool places to cruise around, etc.?

 

The Northern Maine Fair (I think it used to be called the Aroostock County Fair) is the same weekend.
Info: http://www.northernmainefairgrounds.com/

Loring AFB is an approximate 8 hour drive from Boston, Mass (its WAY up there).

 

At least they serve Skeeter Steaks.

 

No Way thats pretty wild my old man was stationed up there. Almost flipped a full size bus...he was spinning on the icey runway and hit a dry spot bus came up and went back down haha lucky for him it landed on the rubber side

 

Ill be up there piloting this for my friend and coworker...
