Just stirring the pot here. I agree that you only get one last chance.

All that really matters is being able to run in the last Club Race at the old Limerock ...

I have fond memories of LRP but as far as I am concerned, out with the old, in with the new.

Based on Fred's performance in a Kart the other day, I think we'll want him on snow tires

Any idea why you're down on power? Mike always ran that car at around 350.

I think it will still be available to clubs but the dates available will be a lot less.

You guys need to keep up with the news and RL threads on the Lime Rock Club Fewer dates all this year due to the change. We're talking about the physical changes to the track happening in the coming months.
