QuadCam Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I was looking at the schedule, trying to find a time on Saturday that we could all meet at at the Grand-Am Truck where I could give you all a quick tour around the different Mustangs and explain the differences and answer any questions you may have. There are three basic different Mustang race cars that are all quite different. There are the FR500S Mustangs used in the Mustang Challenge series, the FR500C Mustangs which are the last year version for the Continental GS series, and then there are the new 2011 Boss R1 Mustangs also in GS. The only time that I see available on Saturday would be around 9:30 am. If you all would like to do that, I'll be available at that time. The rest of the day get's pretty hectic with the ST race, Mustang Challenge race and then the GS race. If you want to see the Rolex cars, you will need to be there on Sunday or Monday. There's no room at Lime Rock to get them in the paddock area until Sunday when all the Continental cars will be gone. Then the race is on Monday for Rolex. You guys in the Northeast are really lucky! You have three race weekends in the area where you can see the Continental, Rolex, and Mustang Challenge races all in the same weekends. Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, and New Jersey. Hi Jeff, A week away, and I'm looking forward to making my first visit to LRP for 2010. Thanks for offering to "show us around" the facility where you work. Hope to see you on Saturday. -Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to seeing you all! edit - oh, one other thing...my buddy Jim from MD may not show up until after noon on Saturday...he will be bringing my SGT to the Mustang Corral....so, I wasted at least half my money on that at this point but what the heck...

Just like you, I hope he shows around noon too... In fact, I just hope he shows up! Otherwise, your "friend" and your "Shelby" are A.W.O.L. in North America... Hmmmm, I nice "autocross tweaked Shelby" and all the pavement in North America... Sounds damn good to me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Naaah, he would never do anything like that...I think... Actually, I don't really expect him until about 2pm now. He's driving up from MD on Saturday morning to avoid the Friday night Mem. Day traffic. He's also not an early riser! That's ok, I'll be sipping a cold one watching lots of fast Mustangs fly by on the back straight!!! By the way, here is the RV map...I'll be in Space no. 9....

ilmor Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm still coming rain or shine!!! Anyway, these races don't stop for rain. I just checked, however, and the forecast is still great for Sat., Sun. and Mon. Friday is 40% chance of rain during the day but should be over by the time I get there I'm having only one problem so far...dang electric step on my brand-new RV quit working!! It doesn't look like it'll get resolved in time, esp. since I have business travel this week. :jackinbox: Need to find a soap box to use as a step!

QuadCam Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Oh c'mon Boys and Girls..., Friday is 3 days away and they don't know if the front is going to do, this or that; just a bit soon to tell.

ilmor Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am hoping that our office will tell us to go home early, by 3pm at the latest. If that happens, I estimate that I "might" arrive by 5:30 on Friday. Maybe I'll catch the Skip Barber qualifying. In any event I'll be ready for their race first thing Saturday morning. There's also a car show at the track on Sunday all day. Maybe I'll put the SGT in that! Those shows are always fun because the show cars get parked along the track.

I'll be there waiting on you and your buddies. :happy feet: :happy feet: :happy feet: SS and SS wanted to hookup and drive up there together, but my expected arrival time is the same as their departure time... Heck, Sean is driving, she can sleep in the car! Right? It must take a loooong time to get LL to look like SS in the morning! Lauren and I (ok - Lauren) pack a cooler with snacks, sandwiches, sunscreen, and beverages (besides the blanket and lawn chairs). I was wondering how long do you and the boys plan to stay Friday afternoon? Might we plan to have a late lunch/dinner together at a restaurant somewhere before you head back?

LL is the person that rolls out of bed in the morning and looks at herself in the mirror while she washes her hands after taking that morning "relief" and before brushing her teeth.

QuadCam Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 LL and SS are the same girl silly..... and what's the blanket for??? Consider it a day at the beach... Laying out a "beach blanket" gives you a place to sit and kick off your shoes, lay down and nap between events( or after a few beers - or in your case, Martinis), or even catch some rays. Things can get crowded during the big events (like Monday). Laying out a blanket sets up a boundary for your "space." Most folks respect that and will walk around rather than walk in front of you.

ilmor Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 That was an incredible Memorial Day weekend at Lime Rock. It was good to see QuadCam and his wife again (yes, he can confirm that I was indeed there!). :ph34r: The racing action was awesome and a FORD won the Daytona Prototype race!! :happy feet: It's going to be a rushed and busy week for me as we prepare to go to Pocono for the NASCAR race this coming weekend...yes, more race track camping! I don't think there will be much time available for me to post photos and vids but I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
