As traditions dictates Lime Rock Park will host the Historic Festival on the US Labor Day weekend (30 August-2 September), this year, for the 42nd time. The five-day event will not only commemorate the 60th anniversary of one of the most iconic and enduring muscle cars in automotive history, the Ford Mustang, but also pay homage to the significant contribution Ford has made to automotive innovation.
The Historic Festival Committee also named the Honoured Collector this year as Ross Myers. Myers, a regular competitor in Historic Trans-Am and a long-time competitor at Lime Rock Park, is the benefactor of the Pennsylvania-based 3 Dog Garage Museum and will bring a large variety of rare Ford-powered cars for display throughout the weekend.
Adding to the excitement of the weekend, Historic Festival will debut the new Turn of the Century World Challenge group. This grid will showcase production-based street stock race cars from the 1995-2005 era, prepared for SCCA World Challenge, Motorola Cup and various national and international categories.
More than racing, there are also tours, parades, concours, a swap meet, automobilia, featured speakers, concessions, and more over the long weekend.
