Take a Trip to Connecticut: Lime Rock Park's 2013 schedule released

Lime Rock Park President Skip Barber has announced the track’s 2013 event schedule. He noted that it much resembles 2012’s but with a unique twist: its American Le Mans Series race is a three day event rather than the traditional two-day format that’s been in place since ALMS’ first visit in 2004.

“We’re excited about this,” Barber said. “Because Independence Day next year falls on a Thursday, we can make the ALMS ‘weekend’ July 4, 5 and 6. That will let us create an even bigger, busier event, with multiple support series -- including at least one with significant name recognition.”

Barber also noted Grand-Am's championship finale weekend at the end of September will be reprised in 2013. "It was a huge success this year, no doubt. We're looking forward to hosting the title-deciders again, during a beautiful time of the year."

Support-series races for the Trans-Am, Ferrari Challenge, ALMS and Grand-Am championship finale weekends are to be announced at a later date.

About Lime Rock Park, Peachy's favorite race track:

Lime Rock Park is one of America's most recognized road racing venues and has been continuously operated since its opening in 1957. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places by the National Park Service, the track is 1.5 miles in length, encompassing seven corners and more than seven stories of elevation change. Recently re-paved, Lime Rock Park hosts up to a half-dozen major events every year, including ALMS, Grand-Am, SCCA Pro Racing and more, as well as its noted Labor Day Weekend Historic Festival (2013 will be the 31st editioin). The track is considered one of the most challenging to drive in the world, constructed in a natural valley in the Berkshire Mountains of extreme northwest Connecticut.

"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!"
