John Fitch was one of America's first grand road racers, even earning a factory drive with Mercedes at LeMans.  He had quite a history with Lime Rock as well - much of it controversial involving who designed and built Lime Rock. To the right is a letter from Jim Vaill, the man who built Lime Rock, to Comp Press in 1960 after Fitch left the track.  Did Fitch quit or was he fired??

Formula III on the grid.  I think this is the August race as there is no #11 in the results for July	George Alderman and fans L-R Barbara Jorison, Renee O'Leary, Mario Castello and teammate Ed Carpenter	Can you imagine SCCA allowing a FF winner in 2008 putting a great looking gal in his lap for a victory tour?	This was the August race at LR and not the messed up July races.  Note FJr headed to grid	Alderman has many reasons to smile as he poses with the checker including Ms O'Leary
OK, it's not a FIII car but it is Jim Haynes in the Jocko FJr - described as an "evil machine"	Harry Carter arrives back at the pits, his sponsor Freddy Bowles loaded down with cameras	Paul O'Shea leans against a truck while his Junior is fueled.
