Lime Rock changing flagger station numbers... good idea or not?posted in Historic on May 10th 2010 at 5:17pm.
So someone, I truly do not know who, has decided to rename the flagger stations at Lime Rock to match the turn names. Isn't that brilliant folks? Come on, what do you think? Now, first, consider for a moment that Lime Rock is one of the most historic race tracks in the United States. Pretty much anyone who is or was anyone in racing has driven Lime Rock. Same goes for workers migrating... Read More
