Actually if you walk Limerock you will see the blue dots. Skip has marked the track. Once you see the dots they will see them all the time. set in your vision and control of turn in and track out. Look- you will see. My old home track. Easy track to learn- impossible track to master. Not much run off. I've had some religious experiences there where I've been saved.

Thanks for bringing up a sore subject, but.... If you recall, it was my codriver dragging the net around NJMP, not me.
Since we are slinging mud, remember how after about 4 laps with the black flag pointed at you, I had to practically stop front of the flag station for you to notice it? I thought the flagger was going to throw something at you.... Lol

Unfortunately every place is sold out and has been for weeks good luck on the room. Try calling everywhere maybe you will get lucky with a cancelation

the enduros at LRP were always the best race of the year. You were passing cars on every straight and in every corner the entire race. it was crazy fun.

I agree.
Why don't we do that anymore?

We really should, especially at the rate we paid for entry.
Can we put heat on PCA?

Agree 100%, it was actually a 60 minute sprint with forced 5 minute stop! I want it back!!!

I think some of the cup cars had an issue driving for 55 minutes without fueling up. PCA 60 minute enduros don't allow refueling.

Personally, I loved the enduros and would love to drive it again at Lime Rock!
