Nice shots of a classic car. I have fond memories of doing practice laps and solo events several times at Lime Rock track in an XKE roadster in the early 1970s. It was my first time driving on a race track so I also remember overshooting the turn at the end of the straightaway.

happy it brought back some good memories for you! Lime Rock does a great 5 day event every Labor Day weekend with one of the days a typically excellent car show. And it gets national interest with cars coming in from all over the country making it much different than your typical, local car shows. You don't see cars worth multi millions of dollars at the local shows, but you will see them at the Lime Rock show.

My Grandfather had a Willys Overland sedan that he loved. It had a sleeve valve engine that idled so smoothy that he could stand a quarter on age on the engine while running and it would not fall over. I am a lifelong gearhead so I soak up all stuff like this. My "head drive" is so full of this stuff I have difficulty remembering what happened last week. Anyway that is my story and I'm sticking with it.
The Speedster is a real beauty. Thanks for sharing.

haha, I'm with you! From my car model making days as a kid to today, a car lover and motor head, and that is why I tied my two passions together, photography and car shooting. Sleeve valves were really innovative, but I think they had a problem with oil consumption. Packard's conventional valve flathead motors were also famous for their smoothness, and it was possible to balance a coin on them when they were idling.
Thanks for your comment!
