Last year on the Friday parade laps the pace car brought us up to ~95mph since there were only a couple of us...so the Friday one might be a little quicker

o.0! nice!!! now you have me debating buying the entire weekend package or just a day one. Hmmm... Jason does the entire weekend package include the use of the campgrounds section? If so I may have to dig up a tent lol. Driving back and forth each way in terms of gas price's is a bit much so I'd be looking to stay there or in the area.

Yeah, get the entire weekend package! Watching the practice runs is great! And camping is free, too (or it was last year). The car show on Sunday wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be, but there were some pretty nice cars there nonetheless. You gotta do the entire weekend though.
I live about 45 minutes from the track...not sure if the wife would be up for it, but if the drive is a bit much I can see if she's cool with you crashing at our place...

That would be Wicked Pissa! as we say around here lol. Not sure where in CT your' in but if you wish to save a few hours you could possibly crash at my place in RI for the April Install Meet the day before. Figure you offer your place I should offer mine

The woman might kill me for being away a entire weekend but she knows I've been looking forward to this for a LOOOONNNGGGG time. That and I'm still hoping she'll come down for the actual Sunday Race Day and bring her kids atleast her son if all else.

Update: ESTIMATED OVER 100 cars!

So the Racing Teams on board for the LimeRock event are:

1) Speedsource (RX-8's)
2) Racer's Edge (RX-8's)

After discussion with LRP and the Mazdaspeed Corral Principles we have added 50 more spots for the Parade Lap around Lime Rock Park, so in total we have 100 spots. So the first 100 ticket purchasers will be able to do the parade lap.

If you will not be attending for any reason please email me so that i can remove you from the list, to allow other members to use this opportunity.

Please stay tuned for more updates in the oncoming weeks. More will be posted after Round 2 of the Grand-AM GT series on March 29th 2008.

Thanks man! My folks are in Framingham, so I might end up crashing there for the April install meet. Thanks for the offer though! I'll start working on the wifey now….I've got a couple months to annoy her into being cool with company. Heck, we'd be at the track most of the time, anyway! I'm in Granby….pretty much smack in the middle of the state, about 8 miles form the MA border. It's a pretty nice ride from my place to Lime Rock. Last year, it was awesome, and I'm thinking this year will be that much better, since more people know about it!

"Hunny he followed me home I swear.. can we keep him for the weekend. He's house broken he said."

Going to be talking to the woman myself in the next few days to see if she still wishes to go atleast on one of the days and bring the kids. If so I believe I'll be heading back the day before as to pick her up and bring them down the following day. Which brings me to this. What times do the "festivities" start if you will on Race Day, or the other days for that matter.
