Black Beast Wins Its Class at 2009 Lime Rock Car Show
It has been a beautiful Labor Day weekend at the 2009 Vintage Festival at Lime Rock Park. On Saturday, the Alco-6 Racer went three laps on the course reaching a speed of over 50 miles per hour.
At the "Sunday in the Park" car show, a record-breaking 722 cars participated with thousands of spectators in attendance. The "Black Beast" won first place in its class (#14 Vintage Race Cars Pre-1960). It was great fun speaking to everyone who came over to see the "Black Beast".

Congratulations as well, but what’s a “Properly” Vintage Race Car? And were there any improper ones in sight?
I was glad to see you at Lime Rock Most likely I will be Chief Steward next year. I would be delighted to have you do worker rides again. I hope you can make more than 3 laps..Thanks again !

Hi Howard,
Considering all the beautiful cars that were there, this is a major achievement. It justifies all the hard work by you and John to make the ALCO a winner once again.
Congratulations! It is well deserved.
