Many of you may know John Fitch, the former racing driver / inventor that developed the Fitch Phoenix and the Fitch Safety Barrier.
In WW II he was a decorated combat pilot. He was a team Mercedes driver in the 50s and has been an important part of Lime Rock since it opened (he lives right down the street).
He's a nice old man (90) and I've talked to him at LR several times.
More recently, he has been one of the oldest people to attempt a Land Speed Record (in a highly modified, vintage MB-300SL)
Apparently, he's become embroiled in a leaking oil tank debacle with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. The VSCCA and other groups are collecting money to help him through this time.
~Here~ is the full story.
