Welcome to the ECTA
July 9th, 2006
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!
