I was at Lime Rock with the AMG Challenge last year, and AMG again this year for two days at the start of August. I hope that having a good mental image of the track will greatly improve my smoothness.

Hope to see some of you there or at Lime Rock or NHIS.

I am so new to high performance driving on a track that the above theorys and technical information could just be me not having a clue what I am saying, but making it sound good.
Nope, you're dead on. The 911 needs a little help pressing the light front end down to get some stick on initial turn in. Too much stick up front means not enough in the back where all the mass is, and around you go. Get it just right, and you'll feel the back end slide out 6-12" on the way in to the turn, then straighten out around the apex, leaving you free to pin the gas pedal and track out. It's a great feeling when you nail it for the first time.

You'll love Watkin's Glen, it's the best track on the east coast. Lame rock is no comparison. I'll be at the glen Sept 18 with pda red run group, look me up.

Lime Rock was a lot of fun yesterday. The weather was overcast in the AM and started a very slight sprinkle before my third session. The sprinkle was so light that I never put a jacket on, and the constant traffic on the track kept it reasonably dry.

Pan vid of the paddock.

A shot of my friend taken from the pole position.


A slight change in the look of the exhaust tip color.


The funniest part of the day was when an old BMW came off the track and the smoke coming from his right wheel well made it look like his car was on fire. He shrugged and said it was just his tire. I grabbed my infared thermometer and shot his wheel, 469F and the smoke was the paint burning off. His brake disc was almost 1000F! I'll bet he cooked his bearing grease too.

96 miles of track use consummed a full tank!
