Fortunately no mechanical problem here just 95 degrees and a crew who preferred to get home before midnight so we passed on the 5:00 PM Monday race.
We completed 3 of the 4 Group 8 races. In 24 car field of 14 Porsches (911 & 914/6), 4 Elans, 3 Datsuns, 2 Alfa GTVs and 1 BMW I had a 12th place car.
Alan Tolser in Elan #01 was super super fast winning the Monday AM race overall from a 3rd row start....he vanquished all the Stuttgart Panzers with 2 911s less that 1 second behind.
In Group 5 Bob Leitzinger Elan #99 placed 3rd, 4th and 5th among a strong field of Lotus 23s and Elva Mk7s while Robert Bodin placed mid-pack in the mostly Sports Racer field in his 26R 26-S2-29.
While not piloting his Lotus 69 Formula Ford and March 79B Formula Atlantic David Porter from Darien CT took First Place in Class in the Sunday in the Park Concours with is lovely 1970 Lotus Elan S4 SE/Sprint.
2015 Lime Rock Historic is now history....a weekend filled with Family, Friends and Fun.
And oh I should also mention the presence of Sir Stirling Moss and his #722 Mercedes Benz 300 SLR that he drove to perhaps the greatest road racing victory in history....the 1955 Mille Miglia. 1,000 miles of Italian public roads in ten hours and seven minutes, averaging 98.53 mph over the 992-mile circuit.....a Legend Indeed.
