Would any readers have any details of this event at Lime Rock and particularly a list of entrants. I would also be interested in other events at this curcuit just before or after this event.
I am particularly interested in a driver Peter schmidt who is believed to have won the 1 hour enduro event.
Does anyone have information on who he is or what other racing he did.

Apparently he drove a Jaguar in 1960 at Bridgehampton:

thanks for this advice and yes he did race a number of Jaguars and in 1960 it would have probably been an XK150 jaguar roadster and I will see if I can find further details.
I would love to get more details on this Lime Rock meeting and find any other details of Peter Schmidt.

I have most of the US magazines but have no copies of the newspaper "Competition Press & Auto Week" which possibly commenced as "COMPETITION PRESS" JULY 16 1958 and there is a copy for sale on EBAY at present #200423780010 of this issue described as INTRODUCTORY ISSUE.
Are any readers familiar with this newspaper or have a set. How good is it for sports cars racing etc and what is it like for adds for sports and race cars?.
Are there any sources of scans of it or photocopies.
