Salisbury, CT : Veteran driver died in vintage cars crash on Sunday August 31st 2014

A spokesman for a Connecticut track says a man who crashed in a race of vintage cars was the first death in the historic-racing festival’s 32-year history. Authorities say 73-year-old Lee Duran, of Lyme, lost control of his car at Lime Rock Park during a race of pre-Second World War cars. No other car was involved. Track spokesman Rick Roso said on Sunday that Duran was driving a 1934 MG PA Special, a sport Lee's wife said he had enjoyed for a number of years. The track honoured Duran when the festival continued on September 1. Source : Veteran driver killed in vintage cars crash
