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.

Like the 'Glen Lime Rock actually attracts spectators. They lined the track from turn 3 around to the downhill.
Teh NASCAR Modifieds were an interesting bunch. MUCH beating and banging. The tow truck got in as many laps as some of the field.
