The Lime Rock Historic Festival 2010 was held September 3-6th at the 1.53 mile Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Connecticut, even bigger and better than last year’s record-breaking event.
The 28th edition of the Lime Rock Vintage Festival saw 10 racing groups of 30+ cars each for a total of 320 vintage race cars, with each class hitting the track four times. The 2010 Historic Festival was the second year for Event Chairman and Organizer Murray Smith, as well as Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) as the sanctioning body. The Honored Guest was John Lamm, the noted automotive photographer and journalist.
Photographer Michael DiPleco documented the racing action from the vintage festival at Lime Rock. He offers a total of 340 images that not only show the strong field of vintage race cars, but also highlight the beautiful Lime Rock track set amongst the hills of Connecticut.

Great photos of a great event. Was there on Saturday and can attest to the quality of entrants and how it gets better and better.
Loved to see the little Red Mazda driving those big cars crazy….
Wow! how about that… Have been racing here for 41 years and never had a better time. I think the spectators enjoyed it too. Want to do it next year.
