I'm heading to Lime Rock, CT Thursday morning for the next round of the ALMS. Anybody else planning on going?

Lime Rock is a nice track, I'll be enjoying the race on the tube though. Will head back to the States in October for Petit and Laguna Seca.

I agree on Lime Rock being a short track. I wish they had made the extension before time ran out on the option. I first went to Lime Rock in 1967 with my Step Father who use to race there in the late 50's and early 60's. He raced the Whitmore Fitch jag that he bought from John Fitch. I talked to him back in the 80's and have a photo of him with the car. A lot of the people involved with the track in the beginning were friends of the family. But I really got hooked on sports car racing in 1965 when we trailered a Lotus 30 to Nassau for the Govenor's Trophy. A lot of big names went to that race racing and partying. Some things never change.

I am also looking forward to Petite Lemans in October. I've been on the Road Atlanta site and they list the track at being 2.54 miles in length. Is it as short as Lime Rock? Or did they not include the extension? I am thinking of driving to the track from Cape Cod in my Land Rover. :o

Nice result for Porsche all around, the Penske brigade finishing one-two overall and LMP2, and the Flying Lizard crew finally taking the first Porsche GT2 win of the season.  Going to Mid-Ohio in a couple of weeks, any other CA'ers headed to Lexington?

Interesting to see the interview with Skip Barber during the race.  Odd how increased amounts of high catch fencing were considered to be "improvements"! ECA.
