Wanna go to Lime Rock on a Saturday in August?

Tired of getting shut-up of registration for driver's ed/track events at Lime Rock? Wish you could get some laps in, especially on a SATURDAY? Preferably when it's warm (as opposed to being snowed on)?

Well, on Saturday, August 28 (a week from this Saturday),

"The Connecticut Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club is pleased to invite you to our annual Driver's School and Practice. In spite of escalating track and insurance costs, we have done everything possible to keep the fee increase as small as possible while still allowing us to impose a car limit per day to maximize your track time. For more information, please contact Peter A. Lombardo at [email protected].

"This year will be a one-day event only. We will continue our focus on classroom and track instruction for the less-
experienced drivers and practice sessions on the track for the more-experienced veterans. To maximize track time, all cars
must come to the track pre-tech. inspected. As is our custom, the first group will be on the track at 9:00 AM sharp, the earliest that local ordinances allow. AROC-CT has the reputation of running the smoothest and safest track event around, and this year will be no different. We will have paid comer workers to reduce down time between run groups. Please join us for this wonderful event.

"Direct any questions (or anyone wishing to volunteer to help) to Mario at (914) 693-7426 evenings. E-mail at
[email protected], or fax anytime at (914) 693-1636.

"Agenda: Classroom instruction will be available to all drivers who want it, and is required for all less-experienced drivers. Selected driving instructors using helmet intercoms for instant communication between the driver and instructor will be available for individual in-car instruction. Experienced drivers will be given open practice sessions, instructors available. Driver Requirements: You must be at least 18 years of age and have a valid driver's license. Helmets: Snell 1995 or later - we will check for the sticker, so please be certain it's there. Drivers of open or targa-top cars are required to have face shields! No motorcycle helmets will be allowed! Also, we reiterate that safety equipment (seat belts, roll-bar coverage) must be identical for driver and front passenger. Those of you with open cars will need to have an SCCA-legal roll bar that extends 2 inches above both driver's and passenger's helmets - insurance rules no longer allow cars with street roll bars onto the track. Clothing: Long pants and long-sleeved shirts; Cotton required, Nomex recommended. No open shoes. Minimum Ages: No person under the age of 18 shall be on the track or in the hot pits. A parent or guardian must accompany all spectators under the age of 18.
