Thanks for stepping in on this Tony. Busy day in the shop yesterday!
Sunday is a no race engines day. As this is the 43rd running of the Lime
Rock Historic Festival, rest assured the track has Sunday filled with
eye candy for car people.
>From the LRP website:
As a part of HF43's Sunday in the Park, The Lime Rock Concours offers a
special line up of beautiful and historic cars across several groups to
vie for the Best-in-Show Award. Dress in your Sunday best to wander
around the Park and gander at the finest examples of automobiles and
motorcycles in the northeast.
Sunday's second event is the Gathering of the Marques, which hosts
enthusiasts and clubs representing nearly every make and model, all
arranged around the 1.5-mile Lime Rock course. With as many as 800 cars
expected, the event will showcase an incredibly diverse display of cars
grouped by make, model or country of origin.
/end of LRP website quote
Plus, we are planning some time on Sunday for a FOT Gathering, food and
libation, so stay tuned for those details as they become available!
The Kastner Cup race will run on Monday, in the vicinity of 1:30 to 2:00
PM, subject to change of course!
