Lime Rock Historic Festival #39 - 2021

 

This page contains links to Photos and in-car videos from the 2021 Lime Rock Historic Festival.

 

Linda and I tried to shoot as many cars as we could, but mostly focused on the small bore sports cars and tin-tops (Group 3 & 5). You may be able to view more photos at Bill Stoler's photo site.

This was basically a second test run for my A35. The car was misfiring around 5300 RPM and would not go past 6200 RPM (even in 1st gear). So I was short-shifting and running at about 60% power. But the car was reliable and I still needed the seat-time, so I ran every session. This helped me figure out brake bias, tire pressure, driving strategy, etc. I was also able to try a few tweeks that helped the engine a bit.....but the car was still running short on power. Meanwhile, I was still recording every session, so I am including a "camera session video" (link below). It's basically just other cars passing me.....but it still interesting to watch. Normally, in my other car (Midget), I'm running mid-pack and dicing it out with a group of other cars.

Great thanks to all the volunteers and workers from VRG, the VSCCA, Lime Rock Park, emergency services workers, etc. We couldn't have done it without you!
