It was a beautiful day at Lime Rock, with pleasant temperatures and sunshine on October 22, the first day of the Vintage Sports Car Club of America’s Fall Finale.

The bride, Caryl Stratton, and her matron of honor, Ms. Susan Dixon (of Alfas Unlimited), arrived at the starting line in Ms. Stratton’s 1957 Giulietta Spider.

Skip Persson, the groom, drove up to the line in his 1959 Giulietta Sprint with the minister, Mr. John Master (unfortunately, a Turner driver).

Bride and groom were dressed in matching racing suits created by VAS Enterprises of Floral Park, Long Island. The best man, Ed Hyman, Senior Photographer for VSCCA and for Victory Lane magazine, was also attired in race costume as, indeed, were the entire wedding party.

After the exchange of vows and rings, the happy couple stepped across the starting line, got into the ’57 Spider, and took a victory lap of the Lime Rock circuit, Mr. Persson driving (natch), while Ms. Persson held the green starter’s flag.

Following the reception, Ms. Dixon hosted a reception with triple-tiered wedding cake in the Alfas Unlimited paddock area. Nonalcoholic bubbly was served. The newlyweds went back to racing after the reception.
