Oktoberfest – Saturday 10/29

If there's one thing I know, is that our ECTA family loves to party together.  So make sure you are at the October meet, because we are going to have a blowout to celebrate YOU.... on US! Saturday evening, October 29th around 7:00 or so, we will have a year- end party at the track under the pavilion (where Jerry's been servin' up the grub).  Bring your stories; bring your pictures, and your music (BYOB)! 

Since we are not sure where we will be racing next year, we want to make sure we get a chance to celebrate your accomplishments of the past year.  In order to do this, the points race will end at 12noon on Saturday.  Special awards recipients and points winners will be announced Saturday night at the gathering.  See you there!

Just the "last scheduled race for now"... one thing for certain is change...

Maxton has been a good place for us... let's not assume it is gone forever,,, just a short break ( I hope)

Amen Charles --- But Maxton is just a location. While it was good for us, the ECTA is the people and a new site will be located.

Joe you are 100% Correct.... Maxton is a location and the ECTA is more,, it is the People that make the ECTA... The Officials, the Voulunteer Workers, the Racers and Crews, the vendors and spectators.. I know the loacation must change and sometimes change can be good... One thing I know is the ECTA will rermain a premier Land Speed Venue as long as we all hang in there together and support the new loacation or locations.

See you all soon,

I'm all for it Dean, but I will miss the 3/4 mile bump and getting airborne.  Nothing like hitting the rev limiter in the air.  Seriously, Maxton has made me a better rider.
