Traveller Land-speed run
— What to Expect in Blytheville
We are getting close to the big event. We want to give everyone thinking about joining us in Blytheville a realistic idea of what the weekend will look like.
First and foremost: this is not a rally or a motorcycle show. This is a working land-speed racing event.
That means there may be a LOT of waiting. Traveller may make a pass, come back to the pits, get checked over, adjusted, tuned, and then wait in line to do it all over again. From a spectator standpoint, there may honestly be stretches where not much seems to be happening. That’s racing — and we want everyone coming to know that ahead of time.
The cool part is that spectator admission includes access to the pits, so you can see the cars and motorcycles, meet the racers, and watch the teams work. Please just be respectful when crews are busy and give them room when they need it.
Our tentative Traveller land-speed schedule:
• Thursday, Oct. 1: Arrive, check in, get passes, establish our pit, get Traveller through tech, and hold our team meeting.
• Friday, Oct. 2: Arrive at the Blytheville airport around 8:15 AM. Tech/rookie requirements followed by our first full passes if everything goes according to plan. From there: run, inspect, adjust, repeat.
• Saturday, Oct. 3: Back around 8:15 AM and hopefully lining up around 9:00. We will make as many passes and adjustments as conditions and time allow. Saturday night will be our crew/guest wrap party — and Sandy Seastrom's birthday!
• Sunday: The Traveller team heads home.
