1967 LIME ROCK TRANS-AM AND SCCA NATIONAL

A busy year at Lime Rock and we bring you images from the 4th of July SCCA National and the May TransAm. Lime Rock’s fast corners allowed the U2 liter cars to do well against their V8 big brothers. Peter Revson was brought in as Parnelli Jones and Dan Gurney were at Indy, and he won. On the 4th of July, SCCA had a huge entry and a wonderful weekend. Both events drew huge crowds making track owner Jim Haynes a happy Jake’s Stable man. Sam Posey and George Alderman had a race long battle each dropping the lap record to 58 seconds.
