Liam is an amazing person, but look out he plays pranks.

He is all business behind the wheel.

and...We do have a lot of fun as well

See you all at Lime Rock

What are some of the specs on this car? What have you guyz done to it since we last saw it two years ago?

Liam enjoyed doing all his own pit work during track days, and it wasn't unusual to find him spending as much time under the car as he did on the track, enjoying it. I know he had some specific ideas for improving the basic 350Z platform, but what did he actually talk you guys into doing to it?

Won't be able to bring the Z. Might make it up in "the daily".

Wondering who else is planning to attend this event. To caravan we will need a meeting place and time. Somewhere south of Lime Rock should do. Z's or day drivers...no matter! If it snows I will drive a Subaru sedan.

Chime in, guys.

Where are you guys planning on meeting up/at what time?

From Meriden, I would probably take I691 to I84W, exiting at exit 15 at Southbury, following Rt67 to Rt202 to Rt7. There is a good meeting location at the shopping center just off I84 in Southbury. There's a MickeyD's there for coffee and or breakfast. The shopping center is 30 minutes from Meriden.
A variaton would be to pick up Rt7 at New Milford, instead of following Rt202, and head north from there.
From Southbury it's a nice rural ride.

hey sorry I haven't responded here in a while, I've been Z shopping But more on that later.

As of right now, I'll be heading there from Trumbull so if anyone wants to meet up by me and then meet up with the larger group it would be alot of fun.

Dumb question removed.

From Trumbull: Rt8 north, west on I84 to exit 15 Southbury, rt off ramp, rt into shopping center.

From Hartford: I84 west to exit 15.....


This event starts at 9:00am. I would venture to guess we should be at Southbury at 7:30am. Rather a bit early than late. From Southbury we travel secondary roads. It's so much nicer to keep off the highways. We can decide which route to Lime Rock: Rt 202 or Rt 7. Hopefully we will be early enough to avoid Sat morning runaround traffic.
