I am heading to Wilmington, OH next weekend for my first meet at the new ECTA venue. I have built a 1350cc engine for my X1 and will be running it open in A-PG or M-PG depending on what class they stick me in. Hopefully the weather will be good and the lines short! Jeff | ||

They are not full, yet, maybe you can make hot laps. I expect to be next to the timing trailer on the other side of the timing slip stand, perhaps I'll wander down the pits and find yours. 70 degrees and sunny predicted, which suits my tolerance level fine. | ||

Hmmmm... maybe I can carve out some time to drop in and visit. It would be a thing to see, that's for sure. | ||

Have fun,Jeff! Headed to Mojave Magnum this weekend myself. Got the 750 and my Busa as well as two friends- one with 1397 nitrous Busa and the other 1397 N/A Busa, both with over 200 RWP to start. Should be good! | ||

Anyone returning from Homecoming can zig and zag that direction for a look. Looking forward to watching you go through the lights, Jeff, from the comfort of my perch near the timing trailer. Mojave Mile, FMJ? Post some photos, please. It never happened unless we see photos. | ||

made 5 good runs. best was 147.9. Probably could have hit 150 by the end of the day Sunday with a couple more runs. There was a rider killed after he over ran the end of the runway. That pretty much shut things down and we packed up and headed home. The bike did what I thought it would. Just need to find some more HP | ||

Went 203 on my Busa,Dave Scott went 213. Scorched a piston on 750,looking at why as it ran the same tune at Bonneville and Mojave last year. | ||

ECTA at Wilmington's airport this weekend, should anyone need a destination in southern Ohio. $10 to get in. I'll be just past the timing slip tent in the pits. The smell of the fuel, the roar of the exhaust, and my deluxe spot near the timing lights.... Anyone coming? | ||

At a rest stop with the 4G hotspot. My first computer operated by rubbing two sticks together and today it's possible to blog from the pits at LSR venues. Temp is only 93 in E. Illinois. Hope a Buell shows up. All the way up to big numbers, that is. | ||

I won't be there. Making great progress on my fairing for the 160 though. See you At bub | ||

One pushrod V-twin, a number of British pushrod machines, mostly oldish. Still, I had a decent time. Won't be back until spring 2013, for the ECTA opener. | ||

Haven't made it over yet, but I'm only 30 miles away. If somebody is there and needs something from a local, PLEASE call! | ||

 Good speed and even better luck to you. ECTA was in my back yard, 95 miles from Wilmington, NC now it is in Wilmington, OH. I really miss them being so close at the Scotland County (Maxton) Airport. Best and safest prayers to you. Nice video!! | ||

the 630 mile drive for us is a killer! |
