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."
