New LSR location in Maine. Looks like they are going to kick it off mid summer using shared rules with the East Coast Timing Association.

1.5 MILES WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE FLOOR!!!!!

I am definitely going to try to at least spectate for this one.

6-7 hours north instead of 10-11 south

Either way it is a whole day of driving pretty much.

You aren't making it that far north in Maine in 6-7 hours. More like 12-13 hours.

Really? I never thought Maine was that long a drive.

Either way, I think it sounds like a fun way to spend a weekend :)

That joint is 700+/-miles way and 12 hours.....:rofl:

He said 6-7 hours???:shock:

From mapquest: Trenton, NJ to Limestone, ME

Estimated times also say it is a long way to Daytona beach, but I have made "good time" to and from there. Just ask Little G ;)

Either way, I really want to at least spectate at one of these things.
