20 years have past since my last race at Lime Rock, the track has not change at all. Friday would include 2 sessions. My first session was left with a little concern. I had a gear oil leak. I noticed a little bit under the car when I removed it from the truck Thursday. The other issue was a little more concerning. I was smelling fuel once I got onto the track. I was hoping just one of the fuel caps was not tight. After about 10 laps the smell went away. My fastest lap was a 56, OK for the first session. Back at our spot I discovered the fuel cap was not tight and side plate on the gearbox had a couple of loose nuts(beside the one behind the wheel).
The afternoon session went well, I did get my lap time down into the 53's. No gear oil leaks and no fuel smells.
Friday night included dinner for the drivers and crews. Very nice, and after dinner Sir Stirling Moss told stories and answered questions.
