While its always great to see hour long coverage of any premier vintage 
event....I tend to agree with you.  The same production company ( Lingner 
Group Productions)      has been utilized since the 1995 Lime Rock Vintage 
Festival (originally ESPN) ...and their shooting/editing format remains 
virtually unchanged.  Perhaps it's time for the show's producers to let Bob 
Akin talk about the other drivers ....who are racing their cars just as 
competitively ...somewhere in the middle of the pack.  And how covering those 
back markers doing the exact same thing?   Write to www.Speedvision.com 
...let them have your thoughts! 

Best racing,

Lee Raskin

1998)
