Comments:
Right at the beginning, do you see the blue replica daytona spun out (facing me) right on the uphill turn?

Notice at the top of the hill, the rear end gets light and does a little fishtail action. Every lap. You can see me correcting for it a little with the wheel.

That red car is a sunbeam tiger with a v8. light car with good power. He was one of the faster cars in my run group.

Yeah, you need brass ***** to go fast at lime rock. Besides the blind up and down hills, the gate/railing is right there in some spots. Not much run off room.
