New guy from New York, retired two years ago so I'm collecting all my toys and taking all my trips. Kids are on their own. Made Speed Week for the last three years and had the opportunity to make a run on the short course in a 32 roadster last year.  Looking to run a '68 HD Shovel next year and can use all the help I can get prepping for it from the experts.  Looking for leathers.

Thanks

Hello All,

I am complete newbie to Land Speed.  I've just gotten re-interested and am here to learn!

A little about me:  I am an ASE Master Auto Technician.  I run my own Mobile Automotive repair business here in Sequim WA.  A Father of 7 kids, two dogs and two cats  (5 of the kids are out of the house now and las two are almost graduated and gone ).  I've been involved in automobiles all my life in one form or another (shows, drag racing, autocross....).
I am looking to start my car ASAP and get involved ASAP.  I know its a lot of work but excited to finalize which vehicle I want to use and what class.
Ok NEWBIE here start blasting away.  I have very thick skin and a very wicked sense of humor, so if you throw it be prepared to receive it back I like what I've seen on this forum so far.

I'd keep at least one around to help with the heavy lifting. 

Welcome aboard, and get a rulebook.

J-P, in reference to your question about which is best, a 600 or 750 for LSR and track.  Displacement is always an advantage especially for a big rider.  A trip to BUB and a close look at the bikes running in the production class will tell you a lot.  Many of these LSR production racers are based bikes that are good on the track.

Thanks for the welcome Milwaukee!
I will have one of the rug rats left for another year and he'll be my lifting mule    The girl I have for probably a year too, she likes helping out more then the boy and she's damn good at catching things i forget or giving damn good suggestions!
I will be ordering a rule book.  I'm also ordering an ECTA book too (I'm planning on doing East coast too, I go down there at least twice a year for business and family).  I hope tolearn alot here!
