I was on Lime Rock Park's website last night (http://www.limerock.com) and learned that vintage F1 cars will be racing there on Memorial Day weekend. 1960s thru 1980s. I've seen some great cars on that track in the past, including one of Mario Andrettis' Lotus 78s, and am hoping to see even more this year!

Also racing at Lime Rock that weekend are the Grand-Am KONI Sports Car Challenge and F2000 Championship. Connecticut's little gem of a track will be the place to be!

Here's a link to the Historic Grand Prix website: http://www.historicgrandprix.com/cars.htm. They will be racing on both Saturday and Monday.

I'm really looking forward to seeing these cars in action and taking some pics to remember them by. The last time I saw some of these cars was in action at Watkins Glen in the late 70s and early 80s.

In a similar vein, UK fans can also enjoy some classic F1 car racing this weekend, at the Historic Masters Festival at Brands Hatch:
