May Meet Coming, May 17-18

We hope to see you all again at the upcoming May meet at Maxton, NC.  And here’s hoping for better weather than last month’s meet.

For returning racers, remember that track set-up, registration and tech inspection will begin on Friday, May 16.  And don’t forget to pre-register.  It makes the process go more smoothly for everyone and saves you a few bucks in the process.  For information on Registration, go here.

Volunteers to set up the track are always needed and welcome, and if you want to volunteer for any other positions during the meet, please contact Dan Stokes, our volunteer coordinator, at the address listed here.

For racers who have not joined us before, there is plenty of good information here.  Spectators are welcome, and many of your questions will be answered here.

See you there.

Welcome to the ECTA

The East Coast Timing Association LLC (ECTA) is the principal sanctioning organization for Land Speed Racing in the Eastern United States. Five times a year, scores of car and motorcycle racers gather at the Laurinburg-Maxton airfield just outside Maxton, North Carolina, to speed down the Maxton Mile race track. Vehicles range from production cars and bikes (basically off the showroom floor) to exotic, purpose-built racers. It is quite a show!

The ECTA is a membership organization. You can become a member by completing and returning the membership information form available on this site to the ECTA. (Click Here for full details). You must be a member to participate in our events as a rider/driver.

Spectators are welcome at all ECTA events. Come out and watch us go fast!
