Steven,

Have never been to Lime Rock, this will my first time there. If the weather is good, the race line is fast at Mid Ohio, they put a special coating on it that really grips when dry, and that is why it really sucks when wet. Watch some videos of Mid Ohio. Turn 1 is faster than you think, turn 2 has a late apex into a long straight, slight kink to the right. Get on the brakes early for turn three, it is a hard right hander after that long straight. As you get more used to it you can brake later. The next section is really nice, you feel like you are on a roller coaster. Watch you acceleration going into turn 4. The track climbs into 4, a left hander, and then drops away towards them end of the turn. People who get on the gas too early loose grip with their front tires here as the front end gets light and have watched a lot of cars go off the track there. The only other thing to mention right now is that the last turn before coming back towards the front straight is a late apex and be careful, there is a ridge in the track that could disrupt the car. last time I was there a couple of cars got bounced there and hit the wall. If it rains, that is also an area that puddles.

Good luck and hope to see you at the Glen. What number is your car?

Jim
