I ran a couple of races at Lime Rock in the official series, it wasn't as bad as you would think. Just have to be very careful where you pass. The best is on the front straight, next best is the straight at the top of the hill. Anywhere else is really hairy.

Lime Rock reminds me of Summit Point, which we did earlier this year in the Star Mazda official series. There is only one good spot to pass on that track, the front straight. It worked out pretty well unless there was the rare total knucklehead driver.

It's taking me a lot to learn to drive this car fast on this track without going off. Just not used to it yet. Going off track here at the speeds this car can run usually means a spat with the armco. Maybe another survival race vs. pure speed.

I modified the original post again, to include the Lime Rock tune. |

I tested that tune and it is very stable. I am torn between it and some faster but less stable tunes I have tested. I know Troy and Kelly will be quicker than me and my only chance is to go for consistency. I think this track is going to have some attrition.

I can take Troy in the Caddy, but he is light years faster than me in the Star Mazda. Our only hope is that he crashes early. By the way, we will have Fast Repairs on and so if you wreck, you can go back to the pit and get a brand new car. The official series lacks fast repairs and so if you take damage, you usually are done. |

There have been 3 races where you and I have been in the same split running the Caddy together. I beat you in 2 of those races and you beat me in 1 of them. Let's get together this weekend and settle this. I haven't run the Caddy at Interlagos yet, but I really like the track and have run many races there with other cars. I think I can take you. |

I plan to run the Caddy race tomorrow morning at 5:45 PST. I also will likely run at the same time on Sunday morning, before our Star Mazda race. Be there or be square. |
