Ain't never been there (they tell me it's nice), but it sounds like the old-timers are cool with the improvements. Hopefully it'll make it easier for the big cars to pass in July.

Their construction schedule is optimistic bordering on insane. I sure hope they manage to finish in time for the ALMS race.

It looks like they're adding an extra optional turn off the last (fast) right hander like Road America did at the Kink for the bikes and driving schools. I hope they don't have the ALMS use that.

I'd say past the border of insanity on the scheduling for this. They have basically no margin for error in getting this done.

From the LRP website:

The track construction and paving schedule is a very ambitious one, to say the least. The plan is to do 90 days of work in 31 days, to be ready for the American Le Mans Series, 11-12 July, as they will be the first professional series to run Optional Lime Rock.

Uphill chicane looks a lot better that the old concrete POS added to keep the big boys from flying. I used to stand there during the IMSA Gurney Toyota's dominance and it was awesome to watch them accelerate out of the concrete on to the asphalt.

You don't live in CT so you don't get it, that does not make it dumb.

Uh, the Indians blew the Yankees out of the water in the ALDS and should've done the same to the Red Sox, I'm pretty sure I get how stupid the rivalry is.

with all this whining about no respect, if i didnt know better I would think we're talking about the white sox :gomer:

and considering that BOS/NYY 6 of the last 11 titles and at least 8 pennants in that time, yea, i'd say the rivalry is worth a tad more than anything having anything to do with cleveburg.

All I know is if I went to a race at Mid-Ohio, and they had a Browns/Steelers promotion, it would be pretty obnoxious to have people yelling **** at me at the track all day, regardless of how many fellow fans there are. Its a damn race, not a baseball game.
