anyone going to the Grand-Am GT Classic on Memorial Day Weekend?


http://limerock.com/content/events-gt-series
With generations of fans making the trip to the track, Memorial Day is simply synonymous with racing at Lime Rock Park. Grand-Am will bring some of the loudest and closest competition with the GT class battles between Porsches, Pontiacs, Corvettes, Ferraris, and Mustangs. The spirit of the original "Little Le Mans" race at Lime Rock Park in 1957 is carried on as a huge field of Koni Challenge Series cars keeps the tradition of production car racing alive as part of the Memorial Day weekend.

In addition to the endurance racing from Grand-AM, the SPEED World Challenge will stage a fifty-minute sprint complete with a standing start from the Touring Cars on Saturday.

so when are we going?

im confused

 

do we want to enter into/check out the carshow on sunday? or just watch some racing?

 

Car show is earlier and more packed, its up to you, i should have my drop and grill by then, so if you wanna partake in the car show im down...

 

ya, i'm in matt. will someone else post please!!

 

i may be in.. not sure yet..
what do we wanna do? enter the show?

 

im down for entering although im far from a show car

 

guys, there will be some exotics showing etc... but I would bet that there are some riced out 86' accords showing to... (stuffed into the back corner im sure, but still)... I thought it would be sweet if like 10 of us rolled up there and entered the show... just parking in a pack would get enough attention, but I cant find any details about how to sign up- I honestly think its first come- first register....... the racing is pretty sick though... Im down for whatever you guys want to do

 

fine out what day you all wanna go and ill find out whats good

 

no car show for me...effed up my rims....

 

so are we all going or what?

 

ill go....

 

Im In....
1 question:

Car Show
or
Racing ????

 

can i race during the car show????

your the meet planner u decide...

Dont know what all of the 'KONI' races are (they might be vintage roadsters)

1) If we didnt get there early on Monday, we wouldnt be able to park in a pack... but the good races dont start until after lunch

2) Satday doesnt look all that great on second thought... but would get to see some racing and chill for a bit (and enjoy the cruise up there)

3) Weather ??????

4) Car Show
