Corvettes at Lime Rock lag in Trans Am and score better in Vintage over a full 4 day Memorial Day weekend
About one-third thru, season, 2019 Corvette championship hopes ride on the consistency of # 23 Amy Ruman and # 59 Simon Gregg running the entire schedule.
7th and 9th respectively at Lime Rock Park with no major incidents.
Vinnie Allegretta, running only selective races, was 6th.
Chris Dyson from nearby Poughkeepsie won vs 2018 Champ Ernie Francis Jr from FL, both in Mustangs, the featured marque of the weekend.
Fans took in 4 days (May 24-27) including the Trans Am Series, SVRA vintage racing and a Sunday car show vs typically 2 days over the Memorial Day weekend at Lime Rock.
Tony Parella’s formula for Trans Am racing is fortified with SVRA satellite events vs the better-known traditional Lime Rock Historics, the Mitty at Road Atlanta and the RMMR at Laguna Seca.
# 4 Ray Zisa was the class of SVRA group 12.
# 55 Bill Schwacke outperformed in group 1,2,3,4 shown here leading Dave Nicholas MGA.
# 77 Dick Payne survived thanks to expert repairs to damage inflicted by a Porsche.
