Lime Rock Track Day

rhyary · 04-21-2018, 04:25 PM

I am looking to give Lime Rock a try.
It is only 1hr 20min from me and It would be a nice variation from NYST.

My ideal day format is a 3 sessions/hr (20 min or more).

Anyone here care to suggest an event I can participate?

This club provides exactly what you want. I like them and try to go with them every chance I get. And its only $150 for the event, the best part they start in the afternoon which I like

Thank you
I registered for the two LR events but on a wait list.
not sure what the chances are to get in.

Not sure if LRP uses this site, but it's pretty much my go-to for finding track days.

I got into Track Night at LRP on May 23rd.
I hope the weather cooperate.
thank you, Datka, for the suggestion.

You also need to put WGI on your list. Best track IMO on east coast.

Absolutely agree. I'm glad I listened to all you guys who told me to hit Watkins Glen this season. It did not disappoint! Although, I believe Road Atlanta is still my favorite

I have been to WGI a while back with my E34 1995 Euro M5 and the Ducati. I can'g argue about how great WGI is. But LRP is 1hr 20min from me, and NYST is 1hr 10min from me. So WGI at this point will have to wait. It requires hotel stay and longer drive and time commitment. I already have enough travel and hotel stays for work. I am not looking for more driving in a straight line or staying in hotels.

What color?
I am also registered for the advanced group.
hopefully Will not get in your way.

I did the driver meeting on line and got OK from Jack.

In case i can't make it by 1pm, how late can I show up?

Datka · 05-18-2018, 03:26 PM

You can show up when ever you want, as long as you have time to sign in and do tech inspection. These guys are laid back and not strict at all, unlike some other clubs.
My car is AW=WHITE. You can park next to me if I get there first.

Datka, do you know if I can take a passenger in the advanced group?

I don't think this club allows that.

-Great organization and they are always at LRP and Various tracks in the northeast.

There is a track day tomorrow and Tuesday. I will be there all day tomorrow and will be happy to help/instruct.

I am planning to go in July with NASA since it will be unmuffled. Will be first time.

rhyary · 05-24-2018, 07:43 AM

Excellent 3 x 20min sessions at Lime Rock.
Very different than NYST. Much less grip requires you to manage traction more delicately.

Lot's of fun. I was surprise how close LRP is to my house. So for next year I would want to build a schedule that includes both.

Thank you @Dutka for the recommendations. I had a great time.

Didn't hurt to have a perfect weather.
