I'll be there, although it's not my favorite course. Too many cars, not enough track--you end up driving in a conga line. But it's the first chance I'll have to see how my C6Z runs.
That being said, I spoke to PDA yesterday and they just got a bunch of cancellations in. So if anyone hasn't signed up yet, I'd give them a call.

I know it's a bit early but for those of you who want to run Lime Rock in a bit warmer weather C.A.R.T. (www.cartct.com) is running there on 6/22 and 10/2. You don't have the problem of to many cars and not enough "open" track because they only allow 70 cars total so you can avoid the "conga line" type sessions and they run a time trial with trophies at the end of the day for those who would like to see how fast they really are.

I'll be there to just to shake-down my heavily re-done T1 car before the start of the new season, and break-in the new motor.
Things changed for this year:
New motor, new (for me- really used) re-valved and re-built Penske's, new spindles and control arms, new exhaust, new data-acquisition system (that I want to figure out on a "test" day, as opposed to a race weekend!), etc...

Hey ! Bob
I'll be there with my vette. We met at the Northeast *** Steakhouse dinner.
Chris and Doug gave me more HP. I have new T1 sway bars, new alignment, new '04 shocks, added more bracing to the cage, new front hoosiers, new tire carrier for the trailer, Man - I'm looking forward to trying the new stuff.

[QUOTE=GB'sZo6]
wow sounds nice. I am looking for t1 bar right now. it seems that GM has a 6-7 week wait on them. Of course the car goes in for full alignment and corner weights, blah blah blah, next week so this is not good. I am calling everywhere today to see what I can do.
I might have to run with the Z06 bars and adjustable end links for now.

We won the NE Regional T1 championship there in '01 and we usually ran a soft setup (non-T1 bars) at LRP. This was good enough for consistant high 60, low 61 second lap times. Also, I reccomend you do not over-lower the car and don't run much RF camber either. Your left side tire pressures will be much different than the right side, check them hot.

Bring a snow shovel. I regsitered 3 years in a row and had 2 cancelled and it rained the 3rd time. All for a track that pretty much sucks...would rather do Pocono. I can never figure out why that place sells out. It's dangerous, short, surface is old, and basically a big circle anyway...enough of my ranting.

But you forgot the lousy toilets, non-paved paddock, extreme noise restrictions, no garages, almost no cell coverage. But otherwise it's great!
Sorry, I am spoiled by living so close the NHIS which is really first class. It is still very scary for newbies there and can be dangerous, but it is very well run and clean. Most of the clubs have April dates there.

I have heard all of this. I figured it sells out all the time so I had to try it.
I am waiting for WGI and VIR those are the fun ones...

A clogged track is the case for the beginner group, but the black group is usually sparse and your car would fit in fine. It could be considered boring as you can be by yourself for much of the time, but you can get quick unobstructed lap times. The red group is more interesting as long as there arent slow drivers/cars.

I keep seeing pics of the 'work over the winter' at LimeRock Park on the local SCCA mailing list.
Does anyone live near there who can check out these improvements?
I assume this is because ALMS is coming back again.
