Okay…I’ve had time to decompress from my weekend in Arkansas, which came right after my week and a half on the road prior to. I’ve been in touch with Steve and CJ, made sure the figures are right, and we’ve got the tally on the winners from the 2020 ECTA Firecracker Mile. Let’s not worry too much about words, but it should be said…just about every car on this list is wearing license plates. Several drove to the event and drove away at the end of the event. That rules all. We’re looking forward to the next event, where the gauntlet is sitting, waiting. Cooler air will prevail…who is willing to come out and run the numbers?

What is required to compete in your events?
Hi Jim
It depends on whether your car is street legal or not, as to the class it would run in and safety equipment requirements. See the ECTA website for more details:
