(Photos by David Whealon – DW-PHOTOS<\/a>) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Well folks, September marked the last time that the ECTA would be competing at the Wilmington Air Park in Wilmington, Ohio. The facility is ramping up with lots more business than they have had in the past and effectively, they needed their runway back. The Wilmington Air Park has been a great home to the ECTA for several years and a new location search is well underway for the 2017 season. Before we go into all of that, David Whealon who serves as the official photographer of the organization blasted a ton of great action photos from multiple locations along the course.<\/p>\n

The last meet of the year and the last meet of the ECTA at Wilmington, Ohio also featured the Brock’s Performance Street Bike Shootout. Bikes of multiple engine displacements and styles got after it and the speeds were great. Nearly 700 runs were made in 2.5 days of racing before rain came in and ended the meet a couple of hours early on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Once again, variety and cool stuff ruled the day and it was a fantastic way to close this chapter in ECTA history. With lots of potential locations being considered and help from Wilmington, the ECTA is hoping to have an idea about 2017 in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
