Michael, the SCCA limit (not the rules we'll be running under) is 25 cars
per mile of track =3D 37 cars. They do run larger grids at vintage events,
based on things like speed differential.

      out Jan 9th:</p>
    <p>&quot;Thursday late afternoon the track hosts a parade open to race
      cars, 17 miles of beautiful New England countryside ending in a
      street fair in Falls Village, a quaint little town a couple miles
      from the track. If driving your race car on the street is not your
      thing, it is well worth finding your way to Falls Village to take
      in the scene.=C2=A0</p>
    <p>For the most part, we will have an All-Triumph run group. If our
      numbers exceed a safe run group, we may be forced to put some cars
      in a more appropriate run group, that may apply to cars on both
      ends of the timing sheet. If your Triumph is prepped beyond
      vintage specs, your tire choice will play a big factor on where
      you run. But rest assured for the main event, all the Triumphs
      will together for the Kastner Cup race!=C2=A0</p>
    <p>We have a practice session on Friday morning, and we qualify on
      Friday afternoon. Both sessions on Saturday are races. Monday
      morning is our third race, then right after lunch on Monday we run
      for the Kastner Cup.&quot;</p>

            Today being the first day of many that I woke up to an

            not a negative number, I think this is a fine time to share

            about the Kastner Cup race coming this fall at Lime Rock
            Park!<br>
            <br>
            Many people have been reaching out to me with questions and
            to inform me <br>
            of their intention to run with us, so I put together a quick
            spreadsheet <br>
            of those who have contacted me, and those that I presume are
            coming. My <br>
            list at the moment is over 40 Triumphs and Triumph powered
            Specials, and <br>
            it seems every week or so another racer reaches out and gets
            added to <br>
            the list. I believe we are in for a real treat!<br>
            <br>
            One of our guys asked me if I knew of any good in-car video
            I could <br>
            share. I perused youTube and was delighted to see that none

            professional <br>
            driving coach out of Virginia, and for him to share this
            video showing <br>
            us what it looks like to drive Lime Rock in a small-bore
            production car <br>
            could not have come at a better time. I suggest anybody with
            no seat <br>
