Land Speed Racer
E.C.T.A. = East Coast Timing Association

My husband and I started landspeed racing 3 years ago, in our 1927 T Modified Roadster. I have set multiple records over the years, the fastest being 178.925 mph which makes our Roadster the fastest in the E.C.T.A. That is also the top speed of the car, which is a cool title for me to hold.

The Monster Mile as we call the old WWII Air Force Base runway that we run on is located in Maxton, North Carolina and is open to all drivers, spectators and riders. The September 2000 issue of Hot Rod Magazine did an article on the E.C.T.A and our car, along with many others got a cameo shot. Then in the September 2001 issue of Rod & Custom Magazine we got a three page write up on our car. Also in October 2001 Hot Rod Magazine did a small write up about me being the fastest female to run in the E.C.T.A. Needless to say I was riding high.

Since then my fastest female record has been beaten but I’m working on getting that back. We were the 2001 points champions and are working toward being the first team to win two championships. Racing is the most exciting thing I have ever done and hope to be doing for a long time.

Anyone that is interested in driving or visiting the E.C.T.A, can call Joe Timney at 302-378-3013. Racing is addictive and I have gotten my best friend and sister involved in the club.

REMEMBER – DRIVE LIKE A WOMAN!
