I did the Jaguar Club 2-day event at Lime Rock this year, it was great.
The best time I had at Lime Rock so far. (most enjoyable, not best lap...)
There was a day of practice laps, people would time you if you asked, and
a champaign & goodies reception after, then the next morning more practice,
and timed laps in the afternoon. Really nice time, fine British machines
mostly (Jags, an Aston Martin, some others) although I went in my Rx7
'cause the GT6 is not fit for the road, let alone the track. Some really
awesome race-prepared Jags, and one '61 XKE with ~3000 orig. miles - apparently
the first owner blew the tranny soon after the 3000 mark, and it sat in a
garage for 29 years until the current owner bought it, fixed the trans and
was doing some reasonable laps in it. This was something of a "get in your
car and drive" event, but there were some instructors available.
