Scenes of Lime Rock Park, a road course auto racing track in Connecticut. A large crowd of spectators and racers gathered in the park. Competitors seen tightening wheel lug nuts and and cleaning car windows. Spectators watch as the racers drive through the race track. These races are partially funded by automobile manufacturers who use unmodified cars for racing and evaluate engineering, performances and safety features of the cars.

Civilians attend an automobile show where they are made aware about the latest features like rear view mirror, stronger bumpers and improved suspension. Racing scenes of cars careening, throwing up dirt, spinning 180 degrees, coming up on two wheels, and similar events on the track. Police car demonstrates quick maneuver to avoid road hazard..

Oiluj Posted February 9, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2012 Wa-aay back in the day when I was in college, I had a baby-s**t yellow Pinto 2000 automatic. I improved the suspension and had 70 series tires that were slightly smaller diameter.At the local autocross, I consistently beat the guys with BMW 2002's, in which REALLY pissed them off. I was surprised that my lowley Pinto kept up with many of the sports cars. The guy who always won drove a "prepared" Opel Manta with an Offy racing engine.
