I've entered the NARRC Runoffs at Lime Rock next Saturday. This will be only my second race this season and I'm already champin' at the bit.
The "A" motor is installed after a full refresh but there are some fast Miatas entered in my class so it won't be a walk in the park. The races are scheduled to be 34 laps. That's 6 miles longer than a National race. I don't know if my fuel cell is big enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Spectator entry fee is $20 I think, so its a cheap day of racing at Lime Rock for the fans. I'm in race 1 of 8, and we have a field of 29 cars in our group, with 7 F Prod cars entered so far. If you're thinking of attending, warmups are at 9am and my race will probably start close to 10. |

The yellow EP BMW 325 finished first overall. The white Miata finished second overall. I was gridded beside him at the race start. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Here are a few of the GTI cars we watched race after lunch. My friend Joe from Boston races this 944S in ITS. I built the roll cage in this car. Joe used to race a 914 2.0 in ITA and still owns that car. He also has a '75 1.8L street car. This is Skipper Hull's 914-6 2 liter. The 914 isn't competetive anymore in GT-3. Its pretty hard to keep up with Toyotas, Nissans and Mazdas that produce close to 300hp in race trim, when you're limited to the stock displacement of the production models. Skipper with his car. He raced in the same group as the GT1 cars above. He had a consistent run midpack, around 5th in class. |
