Paul Newman says goodby to Lime Rock http://www.trackpedia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4485 http://www.apexspeed.com/forums/showpost.php?p=183665&postcount=1 From the link in thread: Quote: "LimeRock was closed down today Wednesday [Aug 20] or an hour and a half so Paul Newman could take a few last laps there in his GT1 Corvette and say goodbye. He was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago and is not expected to make it past September." I saw his race his GT1 car at Lime Rock. He's a great driver, and I will miss seeing him run.
