Lime rock historics - September

I see Tim will be back at Lime Rock in a couple of weeks! I'll make sure to say hello. Will the ramp truck be there as well? We watched you win a couple of years ago - best of luck this year!

94 Tim Suddard, Ormond Beach, Fla. 1957 Triumph TR3

I might wonder down to see that. Missed the race earlier this year. It would be fun to take my son down to that event.

Tim is planning on being there, but the TR3 will probably be behind the new Ford Transit van, not the ramp truck. Repowering it has proved to be more time-consuming this summer than anticipated (wellwhattayaknow).

I will be there. Hotel reservations made. I'm actually going a day earlier this year to see the race car parade and show in Falls Village on Thursday. I'll be there through Sunday.

Dean, if you're going to be at Lime Rock let me know. Maybe we can meet.

I'll probably be up there, most likely on Sunday to shoot the car show. I'll be in a yellow 2002 and carrying an old camera of some sort.

I'm hoping to go Sunday.

If I go I will dig out my one GRM T-shirt that is not all grease and oil stained and ware it.

What are the dates this year?

In reply to dean1484:

Labor Day Weekend. Thursday is September 1.

Incidentally, I have a vintage GRM T-shirt with a TR3 race car on the back. But not Tim's TR3. I won't be wearing that, mine is much too scruffy for Lime Rock. But I will be wearing a well-worn orange "Newport, RI" baseball hat, with old-school curved brim. (No doubt the only one at Lime Rock).

I'll be there, but I'm not sure which days.

Woody, Dean, O2pilot, me, and any other GRM and CMS folks, the Harpoon tent on the hill should be our meeting place.

In reply to Gary:

I'm pretty sure I know how to find that...

Although the Harpoon tent on the hill won't be open on Sunday. But they'll have a kiosk at Big Bend. See you there! Look for the orange Newport, RI hat.

I will also probably dig out my well worn Nelson Ledges Baseball hat. The only monkey in the wrench is my wife returns that Friday from a month in California.

This could get complicated

I'll be there Friday and Saturday... and I haven't decided on Monday yet...

Monday might be the only day that I can get up there this year.

I'm probably going up there for a few hours on Friday. Anybody else planning to be there?

I was at the race car parade and car show in Falls Village yesterday evening. (That was very nice. The locals do a great job for this event). I'm in Avon, CT today for a meeting, so didn't get to Lime Rock. I'll be there Saturday and Sunday though.

I will be there tomorrow Saturday with my 5 year old son, he is insisting we wear our matching green "Simplify and Add Lightness" t-shirts. We are parking in the German car corral, and he's beyond excited at hopefully getting to do the parade laps. God help me if we don't get there early enough to get one of the 50 slots!!

I always just go up there on Labor Day weekend without paying much attention to what's going to be there. Today I rounded a corner in the paddock and saw a Trans Am Boss 302. I snapped a photo and as I looked around, I realized that pretty much every car that raced in Trans Am around 1970 was there. One notable exception was the lack of a Sam Posey car, though I would suspect that there is one lurking about, along with Sam Posey.

There's some serious E36 M3 up here this weekend.

Also, Vic Edelbrock, Brian Johnson, John Morton and Tim Suddard are there!

Today was great, will be back tomorrow!

Mike can you snap a photo of Brian Johnson's Trevis Midget (#31) for my brother in law? It was parked across from the Nuvolari Alfa today. I tried to get a clear shot but they were working on it every time I stopped by.

I'll try - where is it? A or B? Near anything else?

A Paddock, near the start of the Esses.

Camping in the infield thru Sunday. I'm kind of a lurker on the forum so don't know how to spot anyone.
