haven't seen much about the July Meet except on Facebook. What happened?
Plenty of runs took place looked like about 65 to 70 entrants no long waits in line. Its sad more of the cars in the area are not there to support the event. Another year not running a car! Eventually there will no place to run them in the East without support. The Harvest event is now history. Its a LONG drive to Arkansas when the local venue is gone.

Blame supply-chain issues. New pistons been on order many months, still not here.

Jack, I ordered a set of King SBC main bearings from Speedway Motors months ago and they won't be able to ship them before October!
We're to old to go.

I rode PRT's A65 BSA which ran very well but transmission problems put us out of contention. We will be back next year.

Sad not to see you guys there. Just build something to match your age!

Hopefully the Harvest Event will be back next year. Sure, it's a bit of a drive to get there but the number of runs a team can put together make it an ideal testing venue (IMHO obviously)!
I hope that the harvest event will be in the future. If an adjustment in the fee is needed, I am OK with it.
A big thank you to the Urgently Team, #2191 Camero for their help in getting me going.
Became quickly apparent that I have a steep learning curve ahead of me with sensors and computers
Stay safe see you next year

This was my first event with LTA and it was awesome, short of the cross/ headwinds. Even managed to bump the records in both the mile and mile and half in the MPS-PG/ 750/4 motorcycle class. I achieved more runs here in one event than all events I attended with the ECTA at Wilmington and it was really nice to actually be able to make adjustments in the pits in lieu of trying to handle this in the staging lanes. Definitely will be back next July.
The Harvest event is not done forever. It was cancelled this year as it was undersubscribed. We can't hold a a 4 day event with 28 entries. 4 of the racers changed over to the July race so that worked out okay. Harvest race is planned for next year.
