Lime Rock

Lime Rock is a darn pretty race track. For me, its just behind Mid-Ohio in the fall.














I forgot my SLR when I was eating, so you'll have to deal with pictures from my phone. The other pics were taken properly though.


I had the privilege of arriving at the track a day early and was able to take in the ambiance before the crowds arrived. This included eating in the small lunch table area with out the crowds... I treated myself to a freshly made Philly Cheesesteak sandwich which was recommended by the lady behind the counter.

















I went ahead and added a little mayo because I'm that type of person. The sandwich was pretty good. The meat was wonderful and not overly seasoned, while the peppers were fresh and brought the right amount of spice. The onions were caramel colored and grilled to tenderness.















My only complaint resides in the bun. Man oh man... this bun was dry and lacked any character. Very similar to Kimi Raikkonen in a press conference. It tasted like they were left out on the counter for a day... however by the end of the sandwich the "cheesesteak runoff" had soaked into the bread making the bun much more enjoyable. So, if you are in Lime Rock I do suggest the cheesesteak, but just take your time eating it.
