Josh Lewis was anxious to try out his new La Carrera Pan Americana prepared Aston Martin DB2 Mark III. The Aston Martin Owners Club throws a terrific annual weekend get together each summer with a variety of social events, a Concours and a track day at Lime Rock Park….what could be better?

We have enjoyed a good number or these AMOC events in years past and were delighted to do so again this June. The AMOC is generous to their members allowing participation with track cars other than Astons. Aboard for this Saturday, June 27th we The Lewis DB2 MK III, Andy Williams quick SCCA 1275 “Spridget”, and my trusty 1963 Triumph Spitfire 1300.

Jim Freeman not only makes the whole day work well but does a great job negotiating with the weather Gods such that early afternoon clouds gather but drip not a drop. Josh has a great time tossing his DB2 around the track and is easily the quickest of the collection of pre DB4 series Astons gathered. Andy tears up the tarmac to good effect in the “Spridget” but breaks a differential and is out for the day. Better to test close to home and find out before some more pressured race event further a field is the correct perspective. This differential certainly exhibited good manners failing on test. My Spitfire works just as it should and turns in some very respectable times.

Sadly, other obligations preclude the post track day dinner. We pack up and head south after a good day at The Rock thanks to the AMOC and all who work so diligently to make this annual event a good one.
