Lotus 7 with a really good showing.

Post by Tinman »

I was heavy into SCCA racing back in the 70's. The Lotus 7 is the car I always wanted but never got. I figured I'd quite literally kill myself in this car, if I did get one (I stuck to Porsche instead).

Well, I enjoyed every minute of that, thanks for posting. Took me back to my rallying days in the '70's. See the brake lights of the car in front and the adrenalin soars.

Wow! What a ride!
Thanks for posting.
The course is so old school with trees and posts and no guide rails along the edge of the Tarmac. Reminds me of the flashback scenes from the movie "LaMans".
I think I'd be prepared to drive more boldly on a track with guiderails. Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park for me!

Happy hunting
