  MEMORIAL DAY RACE  (Lime Rock Park Website Coverage)

"Next up was the Second Race of the weekend for the HGP Formula 1 cars. This was another barn-burner between Hamish Somerville and Duncan Dayton, but unlike Saturday’s race, Somerville and his ex-Alan Jones Williams FW07 had the better of Dayton’s Lotus 79  (ex-Andretti).

The race was interrupted by one full course yellow as Michael Fitzgerald had a throttle stick on Derek Daly’s March 811 going into the Uphill and nosed it into the tire wall.

Dayton pushed Somerville to the checker but fell a couple tenths short at the stripe."
