Truck RACE thread --- Lime Rock

[nascarwoman]

I don't think that is part of the racing surface. Looks like no brakes.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They didn't and no truck went to pit road after the break.

One of the safety vehicles, maybe?

 

[donthaveanickname]

There's your caution for one of the usual suspects.

Someone's gonna do something stupid on that restart.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Okay, much as it pains me to say it, I'd rather this weekend had been scheduled at MoSport.

As narrow as this track is, I am not expecting much out of the last 10 laps

You think it’ll only be 10 laps?

Yeah, Heim gets out front, no walls to hit and a lot of grass. Good chance.

The only way to get past Corey is a divebomb into turn one.

Well, that didn't work.

FOX is zoomed in so tight you can read the serial numbers on the tires.

Layne outbreaked himself.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Haven’t caught much of the race yet, but from the sounds of it they’d be wise to use the uphill chicane next year if they return.

 

[nascarwoman]

It's Heim time --- again.
Can't wait to be back for the race tonight from Atlanta.

 

[Efisher131]

Kept it cleaner than I thought

Bird watching (kind that fly not strip) would be less boring than a race at this track.

Badly went from 2nd to 13th. Ouch.

Needs at least one more braking / passing area.

Congrats to Corey, led every single lap.

They tried their best to give us the usual triple overtime but thankfully failed.

Seventh for Bilicki might be his best NASCAR result ever.

Can't blame the track for one guy simply being better than the others.

The trucks should run more races on small old-school tracks like this one. This is the biggest event of the year for Lime Rock, hope they keep it.

ARCA at 4 EST on FS2

I think at a minimum every other series in recent memory there utilizes the uphill chicane. The West Bend chicane is also an option. They have other layouts to play around with.

IMSA kinda outgrew this joint but hopefully they can turn it into a racey venue for the Trucks eventually.

If you think bird watching is boring, you might trya different approach. Try going with a group of experienced birders.

I did. I ended up at a strip joint.

I recommend binos with larger objective lenses, maybe 50 or 60 mm, in low-light environments. Don't bother with a trail cam; they keep finding mine.

Either way

Just finished with the highlights. Looks like Heim dominated, but that track looks awesome! I’m a nature kind of guy, so I’d go there just for the scenery alone. The race would be an added bonus.

 

[BobbyFord]

Worked OT today. It was nice to come home to the recorded Truck race. That’s a real nice track for the Truck Series. Not sure the Cup cars would be good there.
Heim put on a clinic. I was impressed with Kaden Honeycutt.

Scenically, Lime Rock is beautiful. As a race track, using a mixed metaphor, it is as beautiful as the scenery. I saw a lot going on in that race yesterday and thought everybody put on a good show. But first, you had to ignore the leader. Damn! But he's good!

Why can't all of the gerbils see all of the race in advance as well.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

I may head up to this one next year after what I saw on Saturday! The fan areas look like a laid-back hang with beautiful scenery!
