Default PTS Day at Lime Rock Park, Saturday 4/30

Save the date, we're going to try to get as many of the PTS GT4's in the area together at Lime Rock Park for a kick *** group photo.

rshanholtz will be offering some ride alongs on the track as soon as we get permission from the Lime Rock Club to do so.

I've been getting up to Lime Rock via some very nice back roads for the last few years that I'd like to share with all of you as well.

This is the current list:
  1. rshanholtz *Gulf Orange
  2. PistolPete
  3. sonorous
  4. sapman *Voodoo Blue
  5. Dave C4S Cab
  6. orclean1
  7. Rac10000
  8. hsmith
  9. paradocs98
  10. rick brooklyn
  11. Isik
  12. russdc
  13. redsteel
  14. johanS430
  15. Ddesimone17
  16. WILM
  17. cooperyau
  18. penguin
  19. cange

Meeting location: Brewster Rest Stop on I-684 North
Time: 8AM-9AM

We'll be leaving to head up to Lime Rock via back roads at 9AM sharp. If you miss us, just head to the track directly via boring Route 7.

This sounds awesome! I am in!

Do we need our own helmet for ride-alongs?

Just to be clear, everyone is invited, not just PTS cars.

We'll meet at a rest stop on the northbound side of I-684 and I'll lead the group on some very fun back roads up to the track.

You'll need to sign a waiver to get into the track but there is no entrance fee.

There is also a Metro PCA DE event happening that day so you'll get to see some more interesting cars at the track (besides our own).

For those of us that can stay, we'll make arrangements for a group lunch at a place nearby.

A full day of driving and Porsche gawking, what more can you want? Come on and sign up. I'd like to get an accurate headcount. If we get enough cars, maybe we can make arrangements for a few parade laps for us on the track itself, no promises however!

There will be some loaners around but I would bring your own or a head sock.

Let's just say around 8:30-9AM at the 684 rest area for now. Expect to spend most of the morning and afternoon at Lime Rock, it take a bit to get up there...

Sounds like fun! I'll try to make it. I'll be @ LRP on 4/18 for a track day with SCDA in my GTS. I can't wait.

Great idea. I'll be there with PCA. Last trackday in my 991 before the GT4 arrives. It will be fun to see so many PTS cars.

Would you allow non-GT4 porsches to tag along for the backroads part of the event...?

Wish I could join you guys. The drive would be a bit too much, even for me.

Will be there in spirit!

Of course you're welcome to tag along! Just let us take a group photo before mixing in.

In that case, I'd be interested in tagging along for the back roads part as well!
