Current Project is Limerock Mountain, a conversion of the NR2003 track by Dan Olbuck. DaveO assisted me in trying to get in touch with Dan for permission for conversion, with no luck. That post at thepits.us has had 305 views, with no responses. Also, we have discussed with some NR2003 track developers that have been in that community for years, and they did not know Dan or how to get in touch with him. The consensus among all involved with trying to contact Dan, was to proceed with the Heat conversion.
The Limrock Mountain version is 2.93 miles as compared to the normal Limerock Park layout of 1.50 miles. Many of the changes/addition/rework details are already in, and will also include the Limerock Park layout in a separate future Track release for Heat. The Limerock Park layout has already been integrated into this model.
A huge amount of changes have been made to the original version to try to extend this version for Heat.
Readme description from the original developer of NR2003 Limerock Mountain:
This is an original version of historic Lime Rock Park Mountain Course in Lakeville, CT. The Mountain Course was planned when the track was first built in 1957, but never completed. This version is not accurate to the original - I have cut down trees and paved the forest. Track layout is from satellite imaging and topographic maps, the best data I could find. The course is 2.93 miles in length and sports 11 turns and 200 feet/62 meters of elevation change. This configuration provides a frontstretch length of over 3,000 feet/940 meters.
Is coming along.
