Jim, that looks awfully like the Uphill before the Back Straight at Limerock ( http://www.limerock.com/trackinfo_maps.htm ) which, incidentally, is the only track I've ever driven. This past Sept, too.

Hi,

Yep! Good Eye! That's exactly where it is. I went out there w/ an old friend who also races FV. He has a complete rig which can haul 3 cars. It was a Charity vintage event (notice the Super VEE, Formula Fords and Spec racers in the background) for Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang camp for terminally ill children.

I love this track, several good off-camber turns. My favorite next to Road America in WI where I also annually attend their vintage race, partnering with the same guy. We camped on the infield for the 2 nights. My best Lap time was 1:11.7. How quick was your Boxster? I wonder how they compare.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
