Volvo PV444 wins 1957 Petit Lemans at Lime Rock!
OK, now I am inspired!
I consider Lime Rock my home track. People have been pestering me to get the Volvo out to wallow race in the "preservation class". The only things I need in order to run, besides a car that runs, is an exterior emergency shut off, seat belts and some numbers. Already have the fire extinguisher, the helmet and fireproof suit. http://touringcarracing.net/Races/19...Le%20Mans.html The PV 444's perforance in 1958 wasn't so shabby either. http://touringcarracing.net/Races/19...Le%20Mans.html In 1957, I was only 9 years old and was oblivious to cars/racing until recently. In the 1957 race, I recognize the name Gordon MacKenzie finishing in 8th place driving an Austin A35. He was a member of my club, the VSCCA, and just passed away last year. In the 1958 race, I recognize the name of Walter Cronkite, the famous American newscaster, with a dnf with a Goggomobile TS 400 - whatever that was! |
