 This
is the drive over bridge leading to the infield. A group one vintage racer
(pre 1941) disappears under the bridge. | ||
 The infield
side of the drive over bridge. | ||
 On Sunday
the track hosted the 25th Vintage Car Show on the main straight, the big
bend and right through the esses. At 8 oclock the Lime Rock Tower with the
pits below, the pit out lane leading to the main straight filled with cars. | ||
 Although
they weren't officially marked, there were several parking areas filled
with Corvettes. | ||
 | ||
 View over
the paddock nearest the Skip Barber Racing School in the buildings at 9
o'clock. | ||
 The paddock
from behind the Lime Rock Tower. One of the advantages of getting to the
races early is to beat the crowds. | ||
 | ||
 On the
right side it was $8.75 a gallon for 112 octane. But whose counting? Note
those beautiful flowers and bushes throughout the park. | ||
 A staging
area alonside the main straight just above the pits. I like these small
special purpose racing support vehicles for transporting everything from
tools, to parts and crew. This one has a lid to fold over the tool box. | ||
 Wildflowers. | ||
 The "no name"
back straight. | ||
 The hillside
above the esses is a favorite specatator spot. | ||
 This was a nice
restored Airstream trailer and car hauler combo. The owners brother told
me, he made the conversion and "the previous owner cried for a half
hour after he saw it." | ||
 | ||
 Only one year
from 1984 to 1985 did U-Haul rent a camper trailer. I rented one for Carlisle
and thus this was our first RV experience. This one (of 271 registered)
was parked next to us. | ||
 Chatting
with the owner, his wife and small boy we relived that experience. He stated
they were being restored by collectors today and as you can see they hold
lots of stuff, from a pocket bike, to a mini bike to bicycles. | ||
 | ||
 I spotted this
other Coach in the paddock and wondered if I may have ever rode in that
school bus. | ||
 This old house
sits just inside the main gate. | ||
 This
sign right on Lime Rock Road is so unpretentious that you ride right past
it at night and can miss the turn off. We're getting season ticket next
year. :-) | ||
