We are the spectators at the event. If you just go to lime rock that day and buy your ticket from lime rock and not Nutmeg you will have the following- open air with no shelter, port a potty’s, pay as you go lunch, and all the grass seating you would want. If you buy your ticket through Nutmeg Miata Club you will receive the following- Building with roof top viewing, flushable toilets, catered lunch, shelter from the rain, private parking, and door prizes. No one with a general admission ticket will be allowed in the building at any time. I will hold tickets for any one who e-mails me there name and complete address also need to know how many tickets you will need. My e-mail address is robertchop436@yahoo.com . There is no cost increase or discount the day of the event. So I hope you will be able to join us on Monday.

That was a blast!

Seemed like there was a smaller crowd at Limerock this year and fewer cars (I mean overall, not the Miata club). Still was a good time... was nice to meet you midlifer and good to see you again Speed Racer. Sorry again about the wrong turns... didn't happen on the way back, so we made better time :-)

I'll have photos posted tonight.

Anyone find a white frisbee? I left it in the building by the front door, I think.

This was the best one ever. This was the 8th year that the club has done this and WOW it was worth all the work. Man the Parde Lap... three laps when we were told only 2... I hope everyone had as much fun as I did at the event. Now to start planing the next one... I hope every one will be able to join us again. It will be hard to top this one.. But We shal give it out best.

Nice meeting all of you. That last wrong turn was great! Maybe next time I can keep up. It was a great day (though we need more 8's next time) Hats off to Bad Bob! Great job. The ride home sucked (mass pike is to straight).

Bob,

Thanks for hosting this event. It gave us a good excuse to get together, drive some fun twisty back roads, watch some racing, take a few parade laps, and hang out with friends. Lots of fun.

^ I think it's Morgan 3-wheeler circa 1920s-1930s (sans headlights and wheel splash guards). Dunno anything about the engine in it, but you can see some details if you view the 3072x2048 image (click the Original link below the image at smugmug).
