Lime Rock Historic Festival 43, Lime Rock, CT

August 29 – September 1, 2025

We were invited, we showed up in force, and we put on a great show for both the FOT and the world. 

We had over 40 Triumphs register for the event, and had our own run group all weekend. Our on track action started off with a couple of calamities, some more severe than others, and it took until Saturday afternoon for our group to get full sessions. We ended up with 33 cars taking the green flag for the feature race, which ran under the green flag from start to finish. 

Congratulations to our 2025 Kastner Cup winner, Dave Gott. Dave ran a superb weekend, he kept his TR4 on line and running strong all weekend. Dave was consistently fast, running very close to the top of the timing sheets all weekend. 

The car to beat all weekend was the Spitfire of David Gussack. His Vintage Racing Services prepared car was untouchable by all, and Dave never put a tire out of place all weekend. The nimble Spitfire in very capable hands is a real threat at Lime Rock, and Dave gave us a master class in how to get it done in a momentum car. Congrats to David Gussack for winning all 4 races over the course of the weekend!

Thanks to everyone who came and supported the event. Racers, crew, and friends. Putting on a Kastner Cup takes teamwork, and the FOT did not disappoint. Every one of you who was there, even in spirit only, were important to cause. You folks make it all work, as we know a group without active members isn’t worth all that much.

The Lime Rock marketing machine put out a lot of great press on us, while our own Shawn Frank came with his crew and made sure everyong watching social media had a birds eye seat for the action. Well done, Shawn, you are a valuable member of our team!

One of the best parts of any KCup weekend is getting to spend some time with our FOT brethren. This event gave us ample opportunity to really get to know some of our racing friends, and I hope everybody took full advantage.
