July 2-4, 2005 Lime Rock
Park, CT Races ! |
|
|
This 1.5 mile race track is nestled in the North Western
corner of CT. I had never attended an event here because of a prejudice
for bigger tracks like Indy, Bridgehampton and Watkins Glen. However, now
I'm a believer that this is a great venue. |
|
|
Looking East down the main straight. The pits are behind
the concrete barrier with colorful tents above each team. |
|
|
Pits on the left with the control tower and the paddock
filled with race car haulers and all their equipment. |
|
|
Another view of the paddock filled with 30 plus race
car trailers. The crowd was beginning to fill the hill opposite the main
straight start/finish. |
|
|
Honestly this is the reason we came to Lime Rock: it
was simply to see the new C6R factory race teams at work and play. |
|
|
This control tower has a nice warm feel to it. I asked
how to get a pass so don't be surprised if I file my future reports from
the press box. |
|
|
It has been many years since we camped out at a race
track. Our neighbor was a girl who had been attending steady since 1986. |
|
|
There were several different events and I only got to cover
some, but here goes my report. Next event we will have motor bikes and
other accouterment to cover more territory and stories. And tell more lies. |
