Lime Rock Fall Car Show
I've been doing a lot of car events in the month of August, and I
almost didn't go the the Lime Rock over the Labor Day Weekend. It's
only a hour's drive south of me, and I decided the last minute to head
out with the Ferrari. I entered the 330 America for "display only"
simply to park on the front straight of the track, otherwise I would
have had to park out in the car park far away from the activity.
The car was a little dusty from driving on the dirt road by my house,
so I wiped it down enough so she would be presentable in the class of
"Post War Closed European Sports Production Cars," and left to look at
the other cars. I walked back to my car an hour later, and noticed the
judges walking near my car. One judge came up to me and asked if this
was my car. He wanted to give me a piece of advice, "You have a very
nice car, and if you spent a few minutes cleaning the tires, it would
look so much better." I didn't know if I should be offended, or happy
with the advice. I explained I wasn't getting the car judged, and
living on a dirt road, blah, blah blah...The judge said, "Clean the
tires, get the car judged!" I quickly went over the judging table to
change my application for a judging sheet and handed it over the
officials.
Later in the day, while I was busy chatting with some people about my
car, I was informed that my name was announced at the Podium! I felt
like such a bone head by not being there to accept my First Place in
Class! Who knew!
Just a reminder, I'm looking for a
new Vintage Ferrari Project. If you have, or know of a restoration
project, please let me know. It would be great to restore another car
on this website! My E-mail.
