Lime Rock Park March 29th NASA NE

Had a great deal of fun at LRP yesterday! This was my second track day, both HPDE1s.

Lime Rock, for me, was a really fast paced and fun course. There's no down time in between turns for a breather or to let your mind work. For a beginner like me, it was like drinking water though a fire hose!

It usually takes a little longer for me to get a grasp of the layouts of certain tracks. But after two track sessions (the first one was better than the second one!) I started to get it and I really enjoyed how it flowed.

This was my fourth and last session of the day. I wanted to end on a good note and I felt good when I pulled into the pits.

Just wanted to thank NASA NE for running a squared away DE day and having a crop of awesome instructors. @subielife

Awesome job. I talked to your instructor, got good feedback. Hope you enjoyed your day. Rain is good, it teaches more than you can imagine

Thanks, Ron. I really did enjoy the rain especially with the Michelin PSS. Car was predictable given that I kept my speed in mind.

BTW picked up the Raceseng tow hook. Checked out the Crawford Billet Power Block, might forego that for now since I need new brake pads first for NJMP in May!

yeah brakes are important, especially once you start picking up more speed.
