NEWS: Lime Rock Park Ready For A Fast Start with Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving & Chowder Society
While we’re not quite ready to get cars back on the track, Lime Rock Park will get off to a fast start for 2024 on Tuesday, January 9 as “The Voice of Lime Rock Park” Greg Rickes will be the guest speaker at the monthly luncheon hosted by the Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society at the renowned Sardi’s Restaurant on West 44th Street in Manhattan.
Greg will reminisce about his half-century connection with LRP with a presentation in “sound and vision” (as IMSA Radio’s John Hindaugh would say).
The Madison Avenue Sports Car Driving and Chowder Society has a parallel history with Lime Rock Park; it was founded in 1957 as a community where automotive enthusiasts of all persuasions can share their enthusiasm in a convivial atmosphere.
In its rich history the Chowder Society’s guest speakers have included such notables as Walter Cronkite, Edsel Ford, Janet Guthrie and Lime Rock’s Jim Haynes and Skip Barber.
If you’d like to be a guest at the January soiree, email Jim Donick jpd@sdutchessnews.com.
