    I've gone every year since I can remember (1960's). I consider this my local track which is only about 20-30mins away. The last 14 years was driving my 77 308 GTB and parking in the Italian corral and enjoying a few laps at lunch. Those days are over and this year I will be parking in the British Car corral with my 2012 Jaguar XKR . Hope to see some of the guys from the Italian group but will be meeting a new batch of folks. The show is usually great and has very special cars both racing and also in the parking areas. I'll be there Monday bright and early. See you then.

    I'm going to tell you right now you better bring something good for good parking. I went with my mom last year (who has an early 2000s Odyssey), and they parked us like a mile away from the track with the rest of the minivans and low-grade Camaros and Corvettes. Meanwhile, all the guys with Porsches and BMWs got upfront parking. It sucked, and I'm sure you don't want to be in that situation.

    I'm planning on running the 360 up, just went online to buy tickets and for $15 you can buy an "Italian Corral" parking pass. Done.

    Awesome, I'll see you there then. Still deciding which car we should bring, we don't have anything that exotic...

    Lol I don't think that's what they meant by the "Italian" car corral, I think they were thinking more like the Ferraris and the Lambos haha, but they ARE Italian, so who knows.

    I plan on going up tomorrow (Saturday) morning but due to my morning schedule, will likely roll in around 9:00am. Does anyone know if the traffic on the way in at that time will be horrendous? I don't want to get to Salisbury, CT and then spend 2 hours waiting to get into the park. Sorry for the dumb question; I have never been to Lime Rock before.
