2007 Lime Rock Rolex Vintage Festival

2007 Lime Rock Rolex Vintage Festival
Lime Rock Park, Connecticut

31 August - 3 September, 2007

This is the 25th year that the Vintage Festival has run at Lime Rock. I went in 1999, and when my wife and I decided to return to New England this year on our honeymoon (we live in New Zealand), I knew where I wanted to go! Fortunately, my wife is an understanding sort, and we found ourselves camped for two nights on the infield in a mate's 67 VW Bus. To one side of us was a chap with a tent and a 911, on the other side was a guy with surely one of the largest road-legal RVs. His generator powered the aircon and the plasma TV...

We caught the Saturday racing and the Sunday concours.
