Yeah Luke, should'a' been there, you were missed. It was a blast. We even had a champagne induction ceremony for Dana. :D

Tony's VW.
Wow! Looks like a great event. Added to bucket list.
My good friends David and Frank and VonBulow. Just hanging out.
In the middle of the pile of parts is one of Damon's 906 shroud and engine tin sets, sold to Tony for his RSR. Spot-on perfect re-creation. That's Steve who runs the fastest and most historic RSR of the event. Got to spend some time getting to know him better. Great guy. As I write this it occurs to me that he has one of Damon's amber shroud sets on his car too. He wanted to save the original parts because he drives the car so much.
Great weekend all told, but it was 85 to 90 degrees and nearly 100% humidity. When the sun came out we just cooked at 100 degrees and I was friggin' baked.
Lots of nice early cars there running around. The racing schedule sucked. There were no races longer than 15 min and no enduro like they had in the past 2 years. Pretty much a car parade. Drivers complaining about a total of 95 min or less on track for the entire weekend ( 1 2o min and 5 15 min sessions). Lots of VSCCA junk this year.
Sorry to hear it John. We had fun.
Here is an interesting car. Extraordinary paint.
Wow..........
Lime Rock racing action.
Nice John. They always look better in motion!
Here's the thing- Heidi and I go to Lime Rock to camp and to see a bunch of friends that we normally only see at the track. We bring the camper and a truckload of my extra parts to help complete other people's cars and projects and maybe make a few bucks. Along with that we also see a whole lot of other folks that we don't see often enough and make new friends with common interests in old Porsches. PLUS, we see and hear these fantastic historic race cars and on Sunday another 700 or so other exotic cars in the car show that's staged most of the way around the track. That's always cool as hell. Sometimes we even find precious artifacts in the flea market. Check out the Longines 8-Day aviator clock. Lost 30 seconds in 6 days. That's going into my dash!
We bring coolers full of ice cold sodas and enough food for as many friends that want to sit down for Heidi's excellent cooking. We even bring cold beer and champagne... everybody's welcome. We have fun even if the weather sucks, or the racing sucks, or the politics or economy sucks.
There's nothing like the smell of race fuel in the morning... and there's nothing like the fellowship of Early 911(S) people and other motorheads. (biggass grin)
