There's some crusty man of mystery in some tower off track with a DB meter who will end your day because people who live on the farm next door can't handle 90db from 2 miles away. The neighborhood is apparently full of whiners and churchgoers in a state that I tend to liken to being the New Jersey of MA. The neighbors must have moved in on a Sunday... "what's that noise honey?, WHAT?! A racetrack!? in our backyard!!! no one told us when we did our pre-inspection!!"
1/2 day events are a joke. That would mean that my car would only break 3 times per event and not 6.
Anyway hillclimbing seems so attractive these days with every track turning into Bushwoods.
I'm going to build a mall there, condos there plenty of parking! Wang, stop taking pictures, it's a parking lot!

Might be the best Lime Rock post I have ever read.
Agree 100%.
The place is a dump.
Actually dumps would be offended by being in the same category as Lime Rock.
I refuse to go there. The track surface is a disgrace,,, and the rest of the place goes downhill from there.
My much maligned home track of Pocono is better.
The world will not miss Lime Rock if it goes away.
I know I never will. The bumpy pavement, the stupid DB limit, the bumps.
Have I mentioned the bumpy pavement, the potholes, the DB limit, the shitty facilities?
Its a crappy, bumpy almost oval little bitty 1.5 mile track with a hill (which is its only endearing factor). I really hope it goes away completely,,, so then we can start the healing process ASAP of people waxing poetically about this shitty little almost oval for the next 20 years ad nauseum.
Kill the place already...
