I am in! Can't wait and don't want to miss a rare opportunity.
We are finally seeing the ****** in the armor of this track's membership policies. The economy must be taking its toll, as this was never supposed to be open to car clubs!
Glad I didn't spend that $125K membership fee!

I am in too. Have been there twice already and I can tell you from experience that the south course is definitely not worth $350. But, the full coarse, on the other hand I think is worth it having already driven it. Just my .02

I had the privilege of driving there at the end of June, full track first time there. Um, watch more video than I did...track has so many turns I got lost. The guys that work the track are extremely helpful. I only wish they had a two day event because it is a serious haul for one day's driving.
The Inn at Lake Joseph has a special rate there for drivers. Nice old B&B style place.

It looks like a lousy week for New York

There was also a "40% chance of thunderstorms" all day today at Lime Rock, but that didn't prevent us from annoying all the Ferrari's. And we never saw a drop of rain all day long!

nope, I was a dumb a$$... I've been watching the bucks and weather too. I didn't want to sign up for another rainfest. It's going to be a long summer! Maybe do the PDA/Monticello, when I emailed them a month ago they said it was south course not full course though. Has it been confirmed for full course? thanks- Dan

you didn't miss much. first Advanced session was good, but slow because everyone (including me) was learning the track.
We only got one run before lunch and by the time our 2nd one came around it was a massive downpour. We left half way through the session.
