nice to see that this is coming to ohio. found this on another site
Hey guys and gals... Just stopping in to say Hey and Introduce myself and our organization.
My Name is Keith Turk and I'm the Race Director / Co Owner of the ECTA. We have recently been given permission to use the 9000' runway at the Wilmington Airpark in Wilmington Ohio. It is our intent to Hold Land Speed Racing events on the airpark 4 times next year and then hold events as needed in the future. The Dates are firming up and will be posted on our website in the next couple of weeks.
To Read about us or our organization you can check out our website at Welcome to ECTA
As a general overview though... we will race for one mile and then time the vehicle in the last 132' to establish it's top speed. It then slows down and clears the runway where upon we send the next vehicle. Once a run is complete you receive a time slip, If your time is a record... you proceed to an impound area where the Vehicle and record are certified. Then you get in line and start the process all over again.
So on and so forth.....now to the actual introductions.... There are 4 principal organizers of these events. Myself and my wife Tonya and our Partners Joe and Donna Timney, All Four of us our Motorcyclist's as well as Race car drivers. Each of us are members of multiple 200mph clubs ( meaning we've set records over 200mph ) Tonya and I are from Southern Alabama and Joe and Donna will be coming from Delaware. ( that's a tiny state out east somewhere)..( think really small )...
Anyway we've been looking for a New home as our lease has run it's course in Maxton North Carolina... We aren't simply looking for a new place to race... we're looking for a New Home, a place were we can have a long term relationship with not only a decent facility but a community as well....
Bottom line.... we're all genuinely excited.... your State and community have truly welcomed us with open arm's...
Thanks for taking the time to read my drivel.....
Be Safe, Go fast, Have fun!!!
