Some Scenes and Behind Them at Lime Rock Park — Preview

This is a preview, a “rough cut” — content will be refined and the video will be smoother.  I have posted this privately in order to share where I am going with these stories.  

This was my first visit to Lime Rock Park. Actually, it was my first time at any car track. I came to follow through some stories I had been filming for Pine Pains Views and because it is a major attraction in the area.  Okay, I was also motivated by curiosity but that is why I do what I do anyway.  Once there I became fascinated by the park itself, the vintage cars and the people involved.

Seen Behind the Scenes

The officials are all volunteers through the Sports Car Club of America. There are lots of opportunities to get involved. You work right where the action at some of the best spots to watch the races

The Vintage Racers

A special breed.  They staked out their own camp at the park.  They may be amateurs but there were no dilettantes in this group. No Factory Team MG!  These are people who race the cars they rebuild and restore themselves. And, like George Pardee of Clearwater (yes, Florida!), would sometimes drive the car to New York or Vermont, race it, and then drive it home. Fun on all three legs!

Epilogue:  When he got back home, George was able to discover  that the problem turned out to be the plugs.
