Lime Rock Park is a natural-terrain motorsport road racing venue located in Lime Rock, Connecticut, United States, a hamlet in the village of Lakeville, Connecticut, in the state’s northwest corner. The track is owned by Skip Barber, a former race car driver who started the Skip Barber Racing School in 1975. The track is touted as the ‘‘Road Racing Center of the East,’’ and each year hosts everything from ALMS and Grand-Am prototypes to NASCAR development series and SCCA regional and national events. The annual Lime Rock Park Vintage Festival is approaching its 30th year in 2012, while the track’s car shows draw from across the U.S.

Dozens of local, national, amateur and professional organizations and sanctioning bodies, such as the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing (NASCAR), BMW Car Club of America, Porsche Club of America, the Skip Barber Race Series, Eastern Motor Racing Association (EMRA), Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA), Grand American Road Racing Association (Grand-Am) and American Le Mans Series (ALMS) hold professional races, high-speed touring, weekend amateur racing and driver training school events at Lime Rock Park.

Lime Rock is unique among U.S. professional racetracks in that it has no grandstand or bleacher seating. Hillsides around the inside and outside of the track provide ample spectator areas and good sightlines of the track, contributing to the picnic atmosphere and park-like setting. The track does not charge for parking, and it continues a long tradition of not charging admission for children 12 and under. In 2009 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
