Ps Isnt Jake going to be there, hes good with kids.........

Wow, pretty harsh for a guy thats never seen me with kids.
We won't mention the kids I "have" currently, nor the dozens I've coached, or taught to swim, or.....etc etc.etc...

Friday: 16 minute qualifying sessions groups 1‐8; lunch break; afternoon: 12 lap or 15 minute qualifying sprints

Sat: 15 laps or 18 minute Regional races groups 1‐8 with grid set by fastest lap in either Friday qualifying; lunch break; then 15 laps or 18 minute Regional races with grid set by morning qualifying race finish position.

This seems odd to me. Why wouldn't Sat's am race be set by the 14 min qual sprint? Then those results be used for Sat's pm race.

For the pm race, is that determined by the fri qual sprint? Or the Sat am race?

Overall, cool format! Like the several different race sessions and keeping them fairly short but not so much so.

Saturday AM race set by Sprint, but by time, not position...why? Because you can't RACE on Fridays...

Sat PM race set by finish position of RACE Sat AM.

You can't race on Fridays at LRP? Oh gesh, forgot where we are talking about. Any idea what the rationale is behind that?

Original track charter. along with not allowing the Criminal Element/Hells Angels aka Bikes to race at Lime Rock

Things set in place in another time, still in place because "Its always been that way"

[lateapex911]

Well, lime rock IS in peoples back yards and it IS about 500' from main straight to a church, so....
When they agreed to allow events there, they came up with restrictions, which are essentially permanent that the track agreed to.

There have been many revisits of that agreement, but the local courts have help pretty firm.

Can't imagine any caring mothers accepting the fact that their children would be in the same area as the 7 crowd

You are correct, I am sorry for judging to harshly. I was just going on what little interaction we have had over the last 20 years.

Now tGA, he seems to be getting comfortable with the 2 little monsters I call my own.

Did he ask if the kids were happy drunks or mean drunks?
