Road Course TRACK DAY at Lime Rock Park August 25

[ViperTony]

I'm in for dinner.

[ACR Steve]

I once had a Formula Ford race at Lime Rock that was black flagged in the middle of the race. We all pitted and had to wait for a wedding precession to exit the church across from the track before they had a restart. So yes come on up Lime Rock is wedding friendly. Might even be a great destination for the bachelor party as long as me and Tony are invited

I'm in for dinner. I'm staying up there Thursday and Friday night.

[ACR Steve]

We can make a big reservation at the boathouse Thursday night?

[ViperTony]

Doing both days now. I was supposed go to Thompson next weekend but they cancelled the event due to low registration, applied the credit to Limerock Day 2.

Anyone have any good in Viper cockpit video of some hot laps around the layout we'll be running?

Are most people staying over Friday night or Thursday night?

I'm coming up for the day Friday and would stay for dinner Friday at Boathouse - Best swordfish I've ever had!

If we get a consensus we should definitely make a reservation for large group.

Good question - Steve - do you know if they're running the chicane before the uphill and/or the extra loop at West bend? Last time I went with NASA I think it was no chicanes...

[mcmasad]

I will be up late Thursday night so dinner is probably out. I will also be up there Friday night so I could do dinner Friday night.

Steve and I were at Limerock other day and Im pretty sure he said we'll be looping. Id so much rather do chicane.

I am driving home on Friday but I would stay for dinner before heading out.

We are running the "Real" uphill configuration. No baby chicane stuff sklimerock.jpg

...what Steve doesn't tell you about that photo is that they were under caution there... he gets more like 3.5 feet of air on full green flag :-)

I am still launching in the picture

First time doing a full track day for me. Any suggestions on stuff to bring with me? Any special preps I should do on the car?

Do you have fresh brake fluid? Ideally some DOT with a higher boiling point. I've been using Motul RBT 600 lately.
Tires are in good condition? (age and wear), good meat left on brake pads? Fresh coolant? Bring some fluids in case you need to top off.

Make sure you lugs are torqued to spec; I'll have my torque wrench with me if you need it. Also make sure you empty out your car of anything you don't need to bring with you. Going to want to empty contents before heading onto track.

Not sure if you have an up to date Snell helmet? Assuming they can be borrowed or rented for those that don't?

I'll be bring a bunch of my hand tools and air tank for tire pressure adjustments.

Matt I may want to borrow some of your air if you don't mind though they do have an air station there, I think. I have no room in the ACR for an air tank, can just about get a jack, bag and basic tools in there. Third world problems.

[thetalonguy]

Of course, you got it. :thumbsup:

I will have my race car transporter truck up there with tools, jack, stands etc. The track has air right by the concession building. It also has gas available as well

Remember you need long pants and long sleeves for on track

Guys, I am bringing a portable compressor. No need for tanks.

Call Joe at NASA tell him you are my buddy and a Viper club guy. That was my fear this event is un muffled so it sells out fast. Or try it without the code and see if it goes through

Called Joe. He said that the promotion expired. Pretty weird because the email from VOA never said anything about promo code expiration. Oh well. I registered without it. The event is NOT sold out.
