Lime Rock, Memorial Weekend, 2009
Went to Lime Rock, for Saturday May 23rd, for the vintage racing up there. Went to meet Paul Ripley and Jim Garfield. As well as Ron Schaefer and his wife Stacy.
The vintage races centered around formula one cars of the 60's and 70's.
Great day, and great racing. Met Scott of Connecticut. He had a just restored polat silver 72. Very tasty.
Here are some videos to while away the time :-)

the guesthouse, BnB, where we stayed
some visitors took our pic for posterity .... and looks like the person taking the pic is over 90 years old, has had the last 10 minutes to take the pic, and still reckons that he is supremely talented in the realm of photography .... just take the pic, you old coot!!!
