Just announced, BMW has confirmed that the exciting Grand-Am finale weekend of September 28-29 is the “Grand-Am Championship Weekend at Lime Rock Park presented by BMW.”

Also on tap are the showroom stock cars in the popular Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, where virtually every automaker is represented in the Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) classes.

… Have you seen the very cool video about the BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition?

The video has three "stars": Skip Barber, Bill Auberlen and the Lime Rock M3. The footage is great, of course, but what we think you'll really like is seeing a side of Skip that may not be obvious upon casually meeting him. You get a full dose of the true passion he has for racing, driving and, of course, Lime Rock Park.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
