Drivers brave the rain in the Lime Rock Park Historic Festival finale

September 5 marked the finale of the Lime Rock Park Historic Festival 40 presented by Corvette, despite the varying weather conditions.

Father-son duo Mike and Scott Joy took the top two spots in the featured Historic Trans Am race, with watch manufacturer Autodromo handing Limited Edition Vic Elford Prototipo Chronograph to a driver from each race group. (Each watch was signed by Elford before his passing.)
