This was exactly the information I was looking for.

I am preparing my SSM-class Miata for the "The Devil in the Dark," the 12-hour race scheduled for June at New Jersey Motorsports Park. I have...

Joe, I was just looking at the entry list and thinking the same thing.

The Glen is a long tow for me (about 6 hours), and I've only been able to get up there once per year the last few years. ...

According to The Weather Channel, as forecasted now (it's still early and bound to change :D):

Saturday - low of 45 and high of 60 with a 60% chance of showers

Sunday - low of 43 and high of...

I would definitely be interested, at Lime Rock, NJMP, or the Glen.

I run a MAMTMNBM (in SSM), but know how to race in class.

The cars looked blisteringly fast there yesterday. A time of 46.xxx running the Optional configuration is only about four seconds off the track record on the Classic configuration in a 900+-hp IMSA...

They decided to postpone construction of the new pit entrance until later this year or early next year. I think the need to fully reconstruct Big Bend and the Esses from the ground up caused them to...

Boy, was I wrong!

The Peugeots hung with the Audis the whole race, but hamstrung themselves with too much time in the pits.

The Porsche RS Spyders ran incredibly well -- like little German...

You;ve got great battles in all four classes.

LMP1: I think Peugeot will shock Audi this year. They have the pace and I think they have the durability.

LMP2: I don't think the Porsche RS...

Now that's dedication!

The freezing fingers and the frustrations of the build will be distant memories when you're on the false grid with the car for the first time.

Good luck!

To follow up on Greg's comment about the sanctioning bodies pressuring Lime Rock to improve the surface --

I attended the ALMS race yesterday, and there was near-universal driver criticism of the...

Thanks, Dick. That answers my core question. So, 2009 it will be (I pray).

I'd rather the track be designed and built well for 2009 rather than hastily put together for 2008. We intend to have...

Dick, can you share any further information on the status of the track?

In the most recent Pit Talk, I saw the minutes from the Board of Directors meetings, when the new track was discussed. Now...

Awesome news! :happy204:

Dick, a few years ago on this forum, you asked us to dream a little and list the features that we would love to see in a new track. Still have that list?

Tim, the line you run is the text-book line I learned at Skip Barber. The only real difference is that you go farther left in the Uphill, which was impossible when I went to school because the...

No Mother's Day weekend race at Pocono, if possible.

I really wanted to run the double this year, but coul;dn't make it out. I'm looking forward to running it in 2006. If it's scheduled on...

Here is a link to the schedule: http://www.limerock.com/news_almsSchedule.html

I was driving the #91 red SSM. The race ran under green until about lap 13, with only a local yellow I saw in the Esses early in the race for a Miata stuck in the mud.

On about lap 13, Jeff Leone...

I tow my Spec Miata on a 14' aluminum, open trailer with my VW EuroVan. Total weight is about 2,800 pounds. The van is rated at 4,500 pounds, so I have a good safety margin.

A lot of people look...

I recommend the Bell SR-Pro. I've used one for the past few years and have been very happy with it.

The SR-Pro is a closed-face model with a visor (instead of a shield, which most closed-car...

My guess is at $250, car counts will be good; at $325, dismal.

I'll pay $250 for a regional because it's so convenient for me to get to Lime Rock. I definitely won't pay $325.

Dick, any word from Lime Rock on a final schedule and expected entry fees?

I read portions of that New Beetle thread.

Good analogy.

I had a feeling things would head this way regardless of National class status. When SM started heading in the direction of open intakes and exhausts, I jumped with both feet into SSM.

I think...

Yes, I believe it did. I run in SSM, but frankly, I think the way this happened and how quickly is an absolute crock of sh*t.

The guys like Jim Daniels, Sunbelt, and the guys selling $450 exhaust...

Great news about the 4-hour enduro at NHIS. I have been looking for another race date this season. I will seriously consider this one.

Dick, also good news about the possibility of running an...
