Road Course TRACK DAY at Lime Rock Park August 25

[ek1]

So what hotel is everyone staying at?

NOTE: Stay away from Locust Tree Inn (no shower in the room) and the Inn at Iron Masters - has in-room showers, but shit otherwise.

White Hart looks good, but paying $250 for a room that I will only sleep in makes zero sense.

Will we be getting an email from NASA with logistics? I haven't seen anything come through yet and we are a week out.

They usually send it 1-2 days before the event. Sometimes even on the night before the event.

[mcmasad]

Got it. Thank you!

[mcmasad]

Maybe I should asked this question - what time do most people get to the track?

[ek1]

Here is the schedule from NASA's event at LRP last September:

FRI: 6:45am Gates Open
7:00am Registration /Tech
7:30am Instructors meeting
8:15am All HPDE Drivers Meeting
9:00am First group on Track
10:35am Hyperdrive Registration
5:00pm Off Track

If they already know you or if your car is brand new, you may not need to do the tech at 7AM. Please discuss this with Steve. However, you MUST attend the driver's meeting. You can register after that, but there is not a lot of time to do so if you happen to be in the group that hits the track at 9AM.

Thanks. That's helpful. I need to unload the car off the trailer so I will be there at 645. Timing seems tight.

Sometimes they allow trailers the night before. Not sure about Lime Rock, but they definitely do a WG, Pocono and NJMP. Check with NASA.

[mcmasad]

I'll find out. Thanks.

I just got the email with the weekend's schedule.

I have a suite @ Falls Village Inn. If someone needs a place to sleep Thurs or Fri night let me know I'll see what I can do.

[ACR Steve]

I will be up there Thursday to set up our Viper Club paddock . Gates open officially at 6pm Thursday for set up although a lot of the time you can get in earlier.

Look for my big black truck and caution tape set up all around our Viper area. If we all paddock together it will be funIMG00162-20100321-1717.jpg

I am down for dinner. I am sure we can all talk at the track in the morning and agree on time/place.

[mcmasad]

Any recommendations for starting air pressure on toyo r888rs on my GTS?

When I grow up, I'll get myself a truck like that!

[ACR Steve]

what group are you running in? You want to be around 35 hot so after you set the cold pressures only take hot pressures the rest of the day .

[mcmasad]

I'm running in group 2

[ACR Steve]

We can talk about it Friday morning but I would start at around your street pressures cold 29-30 psi. Then bleed it down to 35 hot after your sessions.

[str5010]

Wish I could make this event with you guys, would be a blast to run with a group of Viper guys. Have fun!

[mcmasad]

Thanks Steve. I will be dropping off my truck and trailer on Thursday night and then taking the viper to the hotel, so I may see you up there Thursday night depending on how late you are at the track.

[ACR Steve]

DINNER -- Friday night at Boathouse in Lakeville.

I set the reservation for 7pm so people can get their cars packed up and shower if they have a hotel room for the night.
We will want to get there on time, as it's a pretty popular place in town so please look up where it is in relation to your hotel and plan ahead.

Steve- you want the same pressures front and rear on our cars? any reason to deviate from that?

Ed, I'm in for dinner. Richie may or may not be accompanying me on Friday.
