Frankie L. Welcome aboard!
Warning. You might not want to get back to drag racing after you start LSR.
Basically, LSR is a long drag race on wide but dirt road. Very challenging. Lots of fun and the nicest bunch of racers you will meet anywhere.

Welcome to all the new members since my last welcome... if the welcome committee has not chimed in it is because most of us have been busy for the last several months preparing for racing, racing, preparing for the next race, racing, preparing for the next race, racing and preparing for the last race.  Not to mention the fresh 12K miles on the truck.  Just found a little breathing room by attending the Shootout vicariously on this site instead of in person.  
Don't start any build without a rulebook that has been read to tatters in the safety and class requirements for your chosen vehicle.  


My name is Stainless and I have a problem...
The first step is recognizing the need for speed

Velkommen my friend! good to see you partake here. Since of course you are one of the best automotive photogs out there!

Next year, KOA, we have big plans.

Stainless, thanks for welcome. Definitely an honor coming from a member of the Bonneville 200 MPH Club. I've enjoyed everything here so far.

My name is Heidi Pitkin.

I am Clay Pitkin's wife.  We race the geo metro with a snowmobile engine at World of Speed.  I wanted to sign up to see what you all have to say and maybe I can contribute some where, some how.  I do some of the photo work and posting photos on USFRA's website.

Nice to meet you all.

It's great when a family team includes the voice of the woman of the house.

Thanks for your participation.

Hey Folks, newbie here.  Getting ready for LSR next year up at Loring.  Getting my near stock K8 Hayabusa prepped.

General question for anyone who may know:

Per the LTA 2012 rules, a full leather suit with an integrated aerodynamic hump is not sufficient back protection; a separate back protector is required.  Is this a recent change?

I'm will be ordering a custom suit and want to make sure my dimensions are correct.

Thank you!

[55chevr]

7.C.2 ...
     C: Required over 175MPH ...
         4: Full spine protection is required. Aerodynamic humps will not meet spine protection requirement.

A lot of riders wear a vest with spine protection under their leathers.

Oh hey everyone.
My name is Lee, and I'm from Edmonton Alberta Canada. I own LG Kustoms & Hotrods, and we build tradtional hot rods and kustoms, mostly early ford stuff. I've been drag racing for 16 years, my father and I run a 1966 RCS front engine dragtser powered by a small journal 327 on injected alcohol.
I've been a huge fan of land speed racing since my first stip to El Mirage in 2006. Since then I've spectated at Speed Week 2006, and 2008. Some friends and myself have teamed up and we want to build a roadster to compete at Bonneville. We've got a lot to learn, and will have a bunch of questions, so I figured I'd sign up here and see what I can learn.
Looking forward to any help and advise you guys may offer.

Lee, welcome aboard. Ask away you will lots of answers and have fun at the same time.
