Default Amazing day at Lime Rock today. Car was a beast.

It keeps getting better this car. Was running some smooth lines today. 90 degrees and up it all day with no ill effects. Plus a good drive to and from. I'm fully in love.
A few random pics.

Yes, this was a DE event through a local Porsche Club chapter. Great events. Worth checking out!

Doesn't Lime Rock have a DB sound restriction?

There is sound restriction, but I think only at certain times/events? There were some loud cars there today and no one had any trouble.

You must of been fortunate to attend an un-muffled event...not too many of those at LRP these days. I think the limit is down to 88dB. Looks like a great day.

Best thing about LRP...generous run off areas in many spots. The new Palmer Motorsports park leaves little room for error.

Lime Rock rocks. The upper section is great after renovation. Nice to see some green around a track. No comparison to what we have in SoCal, big Willow and Streets. Too bad is far for me but 2 months ago I finished at track at 4, went to NYC for quick meal and caught flight at 9 to be at work in LA next day before 7. Would do it again without a thought.

Will be there in 8 days time. Yeah!
That run off area looks like it should suffice..

Yes there lots of "wiggle" room at LR...only spot that's really precarious is over the elevation after the backstretch....seen more than a few cars not keep their wheels straight going over that baby......I've hear the same about Palmer....

Yes, this was a shared CVR/Club Lime Rock event. I was with CVR. This was my first time at Lime Rock. I really enjoyed it. Hope to make it back soon, though now I'm a little confused about the sound restriction. Would be a bummer to have an issue with the volume and not be able to run.

How are your PCCB's holding up? How many track days have you done with them?
