Lime Rock - 1957

Share this page

Rick--

Perhaps I will see you there--I'll be driving the Ginetta, paddocked with Michael Clifford--Michael's Vintage Racing.

Apropos of the other thread about tires the shots from behind the Healey and esp. the XK say it all, showing the drift-angles that are so much a part of driving vintage cars on bias-ply racing tires.
 
Michael,

I'll be there on Monday. Will try to catch you in your pit. My first trip to LRP was in 1969, when it looked a lot more like the film above than it does know. Skip Barber has really upgraded the place quite a bit, but it's still a wonderful place to spectate.
Always like to see these old films. Square roll bars, almost stock cars and people seeming to have a great time. Fun to see cars like C1 Corvettes out there, not too many of them in today's vintage racing.
 
This video is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing!
 
If I'm not mistaken, I ran in that Lime Rock driver's school in my TR3. It later got wrecked when my friend tried a few laps and rolled it on the backstretch. Luckily, he was unhurt except for a scraped left arm. No roll bar. The car went over on its side, not all the way over. It was repaired but never raced after that.

Walt,

Don't know if you saw this one I posted, but I think it's cooler than the Lime Rock one because of the narration.

WOW! Just...WOW!

"...I think it's cooler than the Lime Rock one because of the narration."

That's quite the understatement Rick.
