    Better have a strong right leg. You're going to be sitting on it almost the entire lap.

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    500 bucks a day and only one left turn? No thanks.

    Normal is an illusion, what is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly.

    I've driven Lime Rock in some fairly fast cars. Yankee Beemers has a rally there and rode the track at what is officially "course tour" speeds, do not use all the powah.

    Vintage car events there are cool.

    Given the expected temps, I expect that one lefty might see some rubber side up action this weekend....

    Depends on track config. Alternate uphill and/or alternate west bend are possible.

    I tested the track earlier this year, and there is really only one config that works right now. The others are either dangerous, or just don't feel right.

    It should be that you do the chicane going up the hill... and then the normal track... not the extra tight turn before the bridge.

    I am not running the event, however... that was just our recommendation after testing.
