So, this Labor Day (as usual) was the 26th Rolex Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park in CT. I went with some friends from school and we had a great time. From my house its a great ride down there, and on the way back the GPS brought us down some really great roads (they also happened to be traffic free).

There were some really fine cars from all marques. Per usual I was stunned by the cars in the parking lots and the hospitality of the race teams. Its awesome being able to crawl over the cars, talk to the owners, and sit in them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Anyways, now for some pictures!

Before we left, my '74 with my good friend Mike's warmed-over Corvair. We have spent so many hours pouring over that car getting it to cool right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Parking next to an Italian market Dino. The owner's wife was complaining that they brought the wrong Ferrari. Poor people, as poor college students we didn't have too much empathy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Very nice people though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Beautiful Jag.

A gorgeous Continental Orange Carrera 3.0. The owner was a younger English guy who bought it upon his move to the states as a 4 door replacement for his Elise.

This car had open pushrods and rockers. I think he said it was an aircraft-derived engine.

This 911 was pretty holding up pretty well (considering its run group). It was a little like running a new GT3RS against a RS Spyder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This was my favorite of the vintage Porsche racecars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Here's a few I took. My longest one day drive in the teener (170 miles)! Parked in the Porsche padock.

The mother of all supercars (or at least the most expensive) 250GTO. A woman raced this car.

Didn't see this car until we were leaving. It didn't race as far as I could see.

The 250GTO was amazing. A friend and I were standing literally 5ft from it when she was driving to the staging area. Wicked cool exhaust note . . .
