CURRENT ISSUE FACING the northwest corner:

It took 5 years and $500,000 to battle with Lime Rock Park to maintain the status quo and keep our Sundays quiet.  In 2020, the Supreme Court sided with the rights of the neighbors and upheld the Sunday racing ban. 

New owners are in place at Lime Rock Park and we wish them all well, as they appear to be very interested in keeping a good relationship with the neighbors.

Unfortunately, the Drifting event may present a problem with that relationship. According to their comments, Lime Rock Park has the opportunity to increase revenue significantly with Drifting.  It is a fast growing style of entertainment and brings in the young Urban crowd, which is the next generation of race enthusiasts. (The Paul Newman crowd at Lime Rock Park is all but gone.)

The Lime Rock Citizens Council is currently in negotiations with Lime Rock Park about Drifting.  But short of a ban on drifting from the Town of Salisbury or CT DEEP, or the US EPA, we may be in for a battle again.  Please contact everyone you can and discuss Drifting and the environmental impacts on our local area.
