ALMS at Lime Rock
Anyone else going to be watching the ALMS cars at Lime Rock this weekend? I will likely be in my usual outpost on the hill overlooking Turn 3, but might opt for the hill across (and at the end of) the main straight on Saturday for the races.

Ohh look shiny cars! I'll be there wandering around taking it all in, in my usual random pattern

Re: ALMS at Lime Rock
A picture perfect Saturday at Lime Rock. The weather could not have been nicer. Lots of people saying the crowds were the biggest they've seen since the GTP days. I have no idea, but the place was packed.
Great support races, and a fun ALMS race. Some of the best moments came when the cars would manage to get into packs of 20 or so, all mixed up by class, passing anywhere they could. Fun to watch. The guys I worked with at Performance Tech (ALMS LMPC #18) did a nice job. Great to see the see-saw battle between the Dyson #16 and the Aston Martin LMP1 coupe. The GT race was awesome as usual, but the BMW M3 was dominant. Great to see all the friends from Skippy World. Got to see Pat and Julia Daly several times, as well as Carl Lopez, Bruce MacInnis, Bob Green, Dr. Jim Norman, and several others. Fun to see so many in our extended family there! Got to speak with Mr. Skip Barber as well. He was pretty jazzed about the good weather, as you might expect for any track owner. Before I left, I stopped by the Dyson trailer while they were packing up. A couple of our former Skippy mechanics who've been there forever told me the chassis I raced with B-K Motorsports in 2008 was the race winning car today. You know, that's pretty cool. Every time I see those cars go round I have nothing but fond memories. Can't wait to try it again. Cheers.

Re: ALMS at Lime Rock
We should also give a big congrats to Spencer for his P2 finish!
 After a disappointing qualifying, his car led most of the race, only to be passed by his teammate on the last lap. Wish I'd been there in person to see it. Too bad ESPN2 didn't decide to cover any of the podium ceremonies...
