Greg,
On this same subject, as a teenager, I used to go to Marlboro for the 12
hour every summer, and always followed the results from the 6 hour Lime Rock
Little LeMans but never was able to attend one. With Marlboro gone, the
hope for a revival race points to Lime Rock. I wonder if there would be 20+
cars to field a grid in 2000. How many drivers would bring a mid-60's sedan
to Lime Rock for a one-hour or longer enduro? I would.
