CT/NY/NJ/MA/NH/VT Pelicans...2014 Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park?

Who's going?

There are 265 cars registered to race.

Ralph Lauren is displaying some collectibles and Sir Stirling Moss will be in attendance.

Anyone else here planning to go? Like to meet for a spirited drive up?

My wife and I will be heading up on Saturday. We are not exactly what time yet. It is really based upon whether my wife prefers that we stop for an early lunch or have dinner at The White Horse Country Pub in Marbledale.

I'd like to meet up with anyone here that may be going. It would probably be best to exchange cell phone numbers via PM so we can sync up.

Last bump of this for me. My wife and I will be there on Saturday. At some point, we will be meeting up with Mr. & Mrs. Saucy.

If anyone else is going to be there, PM your number to me and we can sync up. Dave (onlycafe) that goes for you too.

It's a very good event and venue, if you haven't been.

Great day, great cars and nice people.

And a very ugly reminder of the dangers of racing...

As Saucy said, for the most part it was a great day at the park with very nice weather and people. But, overshadowed by a tragic incident.

This was the third death that resulted from a racing incident at Lime Rock this year. Two of them involved drivers that were over 70 years of age.

That is very odd, considering that they just redid the track recently.

I don't see a roll bar in that first picture. Very sad.
