Carl,
Sorry we missed while you were at Scott AFB. I have been keeping a contest calendar and here are the contests east of St Louis that run Speed that I have been able to find
look in the AMA calendar to find full details:
4/26-27 Ocklawaha, FL
5/17-18 St Louis, MO
July Nationals - Muncie, IN
9/06-07 Dayton, OH
I haven't found any speed contests on the east coast in the AMA calendar
