I would sign up, but I'll be away that week. In any case, my experience at Lime Rock in April is that it's usually too cold and very unpredictable. I've even sat the Club Race out for that reason. I hope it works out for you guys.

You don't need to bring anti-freeze, the 944's will be dropping enough to go around...

Limerock is always last weekend in April Frank.. weather is usually perfect, mid 50's. Sounds cold but feels great when your running. Wasn't it 08 that we had our epic run from behind together?

Yeah, my bad, Gary. '08 was the year we stormed from the back, then I sat that event out for a few years, returning last year ('012) and loving it. Maybe I was thinking too far back when DE's were there early in the spring. COLD.

I hope to see you at the LRP race!

Oh I'll be there, and I'm looking forward to it.
But I can't promise that I'll be competitive first time out.
On tires that are right now frozen.
