LRP sponsored test & tune on Tues - yup.
For reference, the Glen test & tune was also sponsored by the track. I agee it would be much better if it were on Thurs. Probably has to do with sound and town regs.

LRP sponsored test & tune on Tues - yup.

All LRP test days are on scheduled Tuesdays from 1-5.
Wow, that's crazy! I'd have to take a whole damn week off work to do the practice and to race. Since I've never been to LRP it would be crazy for me not to do a practice.
GA you're always on my list, beer, crew, short or shit or all the above list take your pick. :D I guess I'll have to start carring beer & Wild Turkey now...hehe
Dan, I just run the test, roll the car in the trailer, and leave it there. Then return Thrus night.
I was offered a place to stay 20 minutes from the track, I wonder if they'd mind me for a week. hehe I also have a friend who has a condo in I think it's New Haven which can't be too far away since it's only Conn. :) I'd have to check the cost of flying I doubt if driving back and forth is an option. Nothing like planning ahead...
Jeff L, very funny! :) I just may suprise you how fast I can pick up a momentum track. I've raced on one for 20+ years, Nelson Ledges. Beaver Run is 1.56 miles and LRP is 1.53 if I remember correctly. But Beaver is nothing like LRP. Then to get someone who is pretty fast up there to teach me the technical aspects of the track.
I am also looking for any 2 extra crew spots. Any help would be appreciated.
me too... I would like to "crew" for someone on Saturday while I wait for my body shop to finish my Civic.
good luck to all!
Good luck to all running this weekend! Be safe and I hope you have a dry race!!!
Just a quick update on the entry list! IT keeps Growing! LRP always has a good turnout for ITB cars!

Hey greg and jake how about you guys crew for wendell v8 holmes . You guys will make
a great Team . Hahahhaha .
hahaha. Greg knows that car inside out so he would be "useful". ;)
Me? I have to get warmed up to his accent before I have a clue what he's saying, LOL. I'd be useLESS!
Hey jake i can get you a Translator for $50 for the day. hahahahaha.
My crew list is (as usual) empty. Whomever gets there first can use the spots I have. I'll list Klavana x2, Amy, Gulick and Mossiadis.
See ya later.
DZ
Dave, Jake and I are covered by Rick Benazic; pass those along to someone else. - GA
I'm out of this one...family stuff I have to take care of..
Good Luck to All and Safe Racing ! :023:
Just got a call from a pal, Bud Jan Sell, who is a Prod guy, and has bailed, says it's a 90% chance of rain.
now, I'm not a lover of standing in the rain all day, BUT, I DO love the shake up it brings! Qualify dry, race rain = win for spectators.
Errr, equals wet spectators? SOOOO wish I was racing now!!! Damn it. Even got Dirt Stockers to pay Rick back. lol
Qual 1 limited results:
ITR Pole: Ulfelder 1.01.0
ITS Pole: Dedrick 1:01.7
ITB Pole: Langelius 1:03.9
Second Qual this afternoon.
Fast ITB time!
Jake,translating is easy. Every sentence starts with Dude and ends with Maan. at least thats whats been happening since I started hanging with Ray Lee Chee back in like 94.
She claims if I hang out with him too long I start talking like him and it just goes downhill from there.
Besides Reece offered to translate,your all set.
Ray Lee and I will be with you all in spirit,as we will be at a hillclimb party in NH,swapping lies about the difference between Hillclimbs and Road Racing.
Later
Dan 77 IT7 or ITA or EP or STL ......cant decide what yet
S88t, I remember how tickled I was to break into the 3s with the ITA car...
It should be a sub lap record day or very close to it. Going tomorrow to watch is going to be painful. Really wanted to give the new A tires I have a go.
Just posted on Facebook by Jeff Lawton:

Well, crashed the [Mini] HARD in qualifying this morning.............. It's fixable.........with lots and lots and lots of money............. A Miata went wide coming out of West Bend, came around, didn't lock up his brakes and rolled back out on the track.....right in front of me. Managed to miss him but put it into the guard rail under the bridge. I'm going to be REALLY sore tomorrow........
Ugh. I hope Jeff had his video running. If it happened like he said it did (see Richie Hunters refusal to beleiev he was rolling at LRP a few years back, LOL) it can be used as a learning tool at schools.
On edit: He has no video.
Argh Jeffy! Always run video.
That sucks big time. :( Guess my day at work isn't so horrible after all.
Jeff
Hope you are OK. We never did like that Mini anyway.

Dayum! I couldn't have cracked the top 3 in ITA. Thanks for the IT7 times there AB>
Jeff, sorry dude, but at least you have a back up car!
Timmah! Nice time! Looks like you found the loose nut on the Teg'
Sucks badly, hope you feel better soon Jeff. :(
I have video online of an incident that was identical, if anyone needs school material. Same situation, except I had more space to avoid the wall after a wild ride through wet grass. SP T4. http://vimeo.com/22624789 from 9:30 on.
Several memories of spun cars rolling backwards. None of them good ones. :blink:
Just to be clear, it wasn't me who rolled back onto the track. I was trying to avoid a car that was doing that.
I had the camera installed and when I went to turn it on in grid, the freshly charged batteries were dead...
Andy, any time on Bob D in the second session?
