A Message from Dicky Riegel, President & CEO of Lime Rock Park

 “What an amazing and record 2023 event season we have had at Lime Rock Park, filled with incredible motorsports and automotive activity, coupled with meaningful and engaging community events! Indeed, even amidst an historically wet New England season, somehow each of our public racing events enjoyed spectacular weather, from the Trans-Am/SVRA Memorial Day Classic, to July’s FCP Euro IMSA Northeast Grand Prix presented by Liqui Moly, to GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends in August, to Historic Festival 41 in September, and just concluding with Lime Rock’s inaugural MiataCon in October! All of those beautiful days in Northwest Connecticut drove record attendance at all our events to enjoy the Beauty, Tradition and Speed of Lime Rock Park, the opportunity to visit our high quality vendor partners, and the fun and camaraderie of being here together. In 2023 we enjoyed the best sports car racing in America, right here at Lime Rock, just as we have for over 66 years. Likewise, the Park hosted major charitable and community events to highlight and benefit this special region of the country, partnering with the likes of the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, Women in Motorsports North America, Piston Foundation, Project Sage / Trade Secrets, American Mural Project and all our local community partners.

All of us at Lime Rock Park are immensely proud to work in this special place, and to host our event participants, patrons and partners that call Lime Rock Park their home in the Northeast.

We can’t wait for another wonderful year ahead – we have a lot of great things in store for 2024!”

Lime Rock’s Unsung World War II Veteran – The Bailey Bridge

Racing fans at Lime Rock Park unwittingly experience a bit of World War II history each time they drive into the circuit infield.

Just past registration and the ticket booths, competitors and spectators alike make a right turn and drive over the track prior to the Downhill using a small bridge. Little do they know that this structure is a living relic from WWII.
