Welcome to wonderful Lime Rock Park
We hope you found your way here from NY today
The weather is chilly but sunny and we are looking at a great days racing
The pits will be packed with transporters
Daniel Wood the past season champ and the pirelli girls will be available for autographs
after the supporting classics and street races are over..
we expect the crowd to gather for the big race. One of the best viewing spots will be under the T7 bridge.
Now before we start there are a few rules
Registration
Registration is located at the infield entrance. When entering the grounds for a Club race, turn right, leave the paved road, and pull forward to the spot where a veritable multitude of tow vehicles, trailers, and race cars are parked. The registration shed is the small grey building to the north of this parking area. For normal SCCA club race dates, driver & crew registration is on the south side of the shack, and race official registration is on the north side of the shack. As always, have your SCCA membership card and photo id ready.
Paddock
After registration, put your paddock sticker in the windshied of your tow vehicle (left side) and head north through the fence towards the gate. The guards at the main gate will expect to see your wristband. Follow the paved road to the junction where the paddock road leads down the hill; the guard here will expect to see a parking sticker for A Paddock or B Paddock before letting you down the hill. Follow the road down; B Paddock will be visible on your left, and A paddock is around to your right. Concession stands and restrooms are located in A Paddock.
Tech Inspection
Tech has moved to a new asphalt pad located near the A paddock men's room, between the paddock road and turn 3 (the left hander).
In accessing tech, please honor the one way direction for the paddock road. This includes leaving the pits for the impound area; turn right, travel past the start/finish building and turn at the concession stand back towards the tech tent.
At most Lime Rock events, scales will not be available during qualifying impounds, or after the green flag drops on the first race. Northern New Jersey Region has slightly different rules on scale availability, please check the supps for their races for details.
The asphalt pad is pretty far off of level, and corner weights won't bear much relationship to reality.
False Grid
The False Grid is at the west end of Pit Lane; entry is from B Paddock. Normal grid practice is for groups of cars at the start of a race or session to enter the track by turning left out of the false grid, directly onto the track from Pit In (rather than passing down pit lane.) Once the track is hot, however, individual cars must pass down pit lane and enter the track conventionally via Pit Out.
Impound
Leaving the track, a Scrutineer _may_ be stationed at pit out with an Impound sign specifying which cars are to be impounded. Do _not_ expect him or her to know which cars are in the to finishing positions in a class; sometimes they do know, but often (particularly for small bore Production/GT and for complex combinations of SS & IT) they have no idea who won in the slower classes in a race group.
If you are to report to impound, turn right exiting the pits and prepare to turn left into the tech area, or park diagonally in the spaces along the fence immediately after you leave the pits.
So lets Go to it and DO it!
and Hey! Lets be careful out there...

I must admit it's just one of those laps that's kind of a fluke - I haven't been able to get any other laps near it 
. My race pace won't be anything like that tonight.
