Anyone going?

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.

I'll be up there on Monday.

I'm usually there Saturday and Monday, but I have my own racing on Saturday trying to get some testing done before a National in a few weeks, so I won't be there that day.

I can hold my own.

In the AMG Challenge just about everything is a competition, they just don't say that it is. In the Past they had Time Trial and Autocross Competitions, now they have eliminated the time trial part for safety reasons, and added Karting. Last year they had a Drifting Competition, not sure if that's still on this years plan.

I'm still planning to go on Monday!
