They all help one another get their cars fired up and running....if its damp/wet, they don't even bother trying.

My dad had a jag, and gee are you right about humidity related issues. The best part would be to watch the jag guys do brake jobs between track sessions on those models with brake assemblies located at the differential.

Are you having him re-install all the secret class winning gear Mike kept when he sold it to you?

Love it or hate it, drive it one last time so you can tell your kids / grand kids "yup sonny, I can remember driving the old Lime Rock before they put in all that safety stuff and straightened things out..."

I hear you Bull - I can tell them about when it was in pretty good shape, when the potholes appeared, when the concrete patches grew, etc. But call me sentimental - this will be the last spring of having it as I've always known the layout and general aesthetics of the place. Come summer, it will be a whole different place.
