If I can't go on a weekend, I'm not going, period. Wish I could, but my schedule doesn't allow it. I will definitely look for other alternatives.

Hi Geoffrey,

For me, weekday, 1-day events at LRP haven't been a deterrent due to the track's proximity (under 2 hr tow for me). For the longer hauls, I'd prefer weekends, but even then I've done many mid-week events at WGI (multiple day events, of course).

So depending on my own scheduling conflicts with work or other stuff, I would try to get to LRP during the week.

I will continue to support my CVR region when they have track days at LRP. However, I will definitely be doing more days at WGI, Summit and hopefully Thunderbolt and less at LRP

Considering how much a track day really costs us, the daily fee becomes almost a "rounding factor" in the total cost.

Ok Rick, I will support CVR at LRP....they have been very good to me and my late applications......

Furthermore, I will support the Boathouse when at Lime Rock..... just part of the "rounding factor"....

Unmuffled - 12:30-5 on tuesday afternoon I believe, and that's if the town doesn't get that changed.

I appear to be in the minority, but I prefer LRP to WGI. I'll miss LRP if it ever goes away. LRP had a really nice rhythm.

Of course I don't think I'll be driving anytime in the foreseeable future....years (son is gong to run IRL Stars of Karting series this coming year + Rotax Grand Nationals + local (NY) club series (18 weekends) + practice days with his coach).....so according to his mother/team President/team accountant, there is no time for me (hired help).

Hey, when my son turns 18, he'll inherit a hardly driven 92 964 Euro Cup

Gary,

That's like one Tuesday (sometimes two) per month.

to actually answer the question...

I will definitely do the club race. I might do 1-2 Fridays, but that us about it for me.
