Lime Rock 2011 - F1600 Series rounds 7 and 8 (continued...)



The elaborate Maisey Racing Paddock.  That is the GTP Racing trailer behind us to contrast how the big boys roll.  Lime Rock was not one of our better outings.  It took me too long to figure the track out, and once I did I was under geared.  Unfortunately a problem with the pinion shaft support bearing and "top hat" made teh gearbox unwilling to come apart.  Meaning I ran a frustrating race hitting the rev limited long before the end of the front straight.  Despite this handicap, I had some good racing with several locals.

One of the cooler aspects of the compact Lime Rock track layout is that from the paddock we could watch the F200 race pretty well.  We caught them streaking down to turn one, through 2, 3 and 4 before they disappeared out of sight.
