[REDSC400]

Well, the ride up to Lime Rock Park on Saturday was in picture perfect weather. 70 degrees, dry crisp air with just a faint breeze. Blue cloudless skies with air so clear there was not even a hint of haze near the horizon (as is often the case in the summer months).

Bob and Noreen and I and Andra met in Stratford and motored up route 110 along the Housatonic River banks and then in Shelton, got on Route 8 North. We remained on route 8 until exit 38, where we took 254 West/North.

Route 254 is a very beautiful route, pretty much 50 MPH posted road that is smooth and complete with slow curves. We followed this route all the way up to lovely Litchfield. There we took route 63 North thru Goshen and followed the signs to Lime Rock Park.

The SCDA had rented the entire track this day and were doing practice heats for various different driver classifications (of skill).
We saw a Factory Five Daytona turn some laps. This car was run by a chap who also has an ERA for street use. The Daytona was only for track use and it seemed to be put togeather very nicely.

It was a very enjoyable day with Bob showing us some areas of LRP that we had never been to. Essentially we had the entire race park to ourselves and could walk anywhere in and around the rack track (other than on the circuit itself).

Thanks for the Invite Bob!
