What is the typical Lime Rock Regional race weekend schedule? Say the mid June Regional. Is it a one day event? Is there practice and qualifying sessions then a race?

Usually correct. Lime Rock cannot run on Sunday, before 10 am on Friday, or after 6pm on any day, so a typical weekend is Friday/Saturday.

Friday - 2 qualifying practice sessions
Saturday - 1 hardship/warmup, 1 race (length subject to entries and time.)

However, One day regionals are not unheard of - 10 minutes practice and qualifying and 20 minute races are the norm here.

NER Region has been very progressive lately on trying different things, and I notice for June they have a proposed Friday one session practice/qualifying (mixed with a restricted driving school) and Saturday a qualifying race and a "main" race.

If you have National License, then the National will give you the best track time, albeit with National Fords and 500 blowing by :roll:

The schedule is not finalized until the Spring Roundtable, so you might want to wait if making travel plans...
