Lime Rock Race

[Xcentric]

Lime rock is always a fun place to go watch and a great place the race !
All I can say is there was plenty of action!
My advice to the opinionated Gary is if you don't like it don't watch and don't go!

Thanks for the advice I didn't ask for. More advice than I have opinions.

Joyce and I take full responsibility for breaking the streak.

Our Daytona and Lime Rock adventures have not seen the best of results.

Maybe it's a good thing we didn't go to Le Mans after all!

Other than the heat and the results, a really fine day. Everyone at the Ford haulers and in the pits were really great. True professionals in every way.

Great to see some Forum members.

Anybody want to hazard a guess as to what 4 years of Ford GT racing is going to cost?

They are doing some great promotional and advertising stuff with it, so hopefully continued racing success will keep the program relevant.

Off to Road America. Dave, the ball is back in your court.

Of course, after taking this week off, I will be back at Road America. 2 week bans for those who attended Lime Rock and couldn't keep the streak alive. Real nice. :lol

Limerock Saturday

Mid-90's temps at Limerock yesterday, but an entertaining race. With the FGT's P3 in GTLM, Limerock is the team's 5th consecutive podium finish.

This was the first time I’ve seen a new FGT up close in person. They are incredible!

Sharing my amateur Limerock knowledge with the Pros... The cool part was watching them use the move!I had talked to Ryan about it the day before.When I saw him on race day.He said he was thinking of what I had said and thought it was a great idea and tried it in morning practice!Than Westbrook asked what we talked about and we chatted about to him about it! They both said they were going to try it! They did with success.

Near the end of the race I ran to the pit wall to try and fall off, but the guards wouldn't let .

I think that' only works for Raj, but I'm sure he'd appreciate your personal sacrifice. ;-))

Bear with my photographic skills. There are few tracks that you can walk easily to get pics at every corner.

Nice work Andy.

I stuck with the hillside and Big Bend. Too hot to walk!

At least had the joy of seeing our leading car punt the dreaded Ferrari off course.

Dr. Frank - Have you noticed the Ferraris are red. Can't have it both ways!

 

[w.a.nelson]

Great stuff!

I heard Ganassi was there. Ron, did you talk with him about a full time ride?

Particularly liked the course map on the wheel. I guess you'd have a hard time explaining getting lost, unless you went out for a donut.
