I saw your car and I think we chatted. Nicely driven.
I too am excited about CM and hope for much better runoff than Palmer.

Yes, nice driving to you as well! That's only my second time on Palmer, and the course is long enough and technical enough that for my first few sessions I forgot what was coming... I do love the track and need to push a little harder as my car has greater capability than I do. Yours was a different level of beautiful... mine is just a track rat.

My first time at Palmer with this car, but I did get in 3 days instructing for NER there last June. Was fun to be in my own car.
My old 993 with almost hill climb gears would be a blast there.

This could be worth the arduous trek. Anyone have any info if it will be country club only, or open to clubs?

Set up as a club but I expect as with most others they'll be opportunities for non-members to get on track.

Latest communication: Mid layer goes down July 11th with top coat down shortly afterwards. Following that comes install of all the safety systems, which takes longer. Oct 1st is current target date to be fully operational but they'll be opportunities for members to get on track before that, albeit with restrictions until all safety systems are in place.

I'm headed to Maine for the summer and would love to stop by if there's a date that you're there. Please, let me know.

I have a couple of friends that were touring the track today. They were supposed to be on track SLOWLY to see the the asphalt and how the track would be. No word back yet but I was at Lime Rock all day.
