Finally, all the arrangements have been finalized for the big day. They are as follows:
Date: Saturday July 16th.
Time: 10:30 to 2 pm.
The admission is still free. Please sign in at the entrance as usual and proceed to the paddock area where we will be gathering the cars. This will be near the starting building near the concessions.
At 11:30, we will all meet at he media center which is located by the Lime Rock Store. Here Bob will discuss an IMSA championship race he was in at Lime Rock. At this time, we will be collecting $10:00 from each driver who intends to participate in the parade laps which is required by Lime Rock to offset fees they would normally charge for the use of their buildings. Please understand that millions of dollars were spent for renovations to improve the "Lime Rock Experience", and nothing is free anymore as this is a very costly business. If there is anyone who wants to drive and cannot afford it, please see Scott or I to see if arrangements can be made.
The concession stand will be open for those who want to purchase food along with the Memorabilia store.
By 12:50, we will all get ready to line up our cars for the parade laps. At 1:00 the parade laps will commence and last until 1:20. This should allow us to get more laps than in previous years. After the laps, we can hang out until 2 pm before leaving.
This year we will be handing out a raffle ticket to each driver that attends. The stubs will be placed in a hat and Bob will pick tickets for the following:
1. Passenger with Bob on the parade laps
2. Next car directly Behind Bob on the parade laps
3. Club apparel
Also, T shirts and key fobs from Bob's memorabilia collection.
Please take the time to thank Scott Cole and Bob for the work they put in to make this day happen for all of us. They want to keep this event a tradition and to not have the contents of the day changed. The only thing not covered is the weather. Let's all do our sun dance for the day. Thanks Scott for all your work to make this possible.
See you all there!
Greg.

Naw, seriously, we stay in line and parade around the track, copying Bob's lines thru the turns. But I've had my Z over 90 on the straight and had to turn into slides in the turns a few times. It's great fun. And 20 minutes for $10? That's fifty cents a minute. In some places you can't even buy curbside parking spaces that cheaply.
