New England Antique Racers Part of 4th Annual Royals Garage Car Show at Historic Lime Rock Park
LAKEVILLE, CT — The New England Antique Racers (NEAR), have been invited to participate in the Royals Garage Car Show at Lime Rock Park on Sunday, May 26th.
The event benefits the Wounded Warrior Fund.
With the club already part of a busy weekend at the historic Connecticut road course, NEAR Vice President Bill Henry states that members present with their cars & haulers on Friday and Saturday may leave them overnight for the show.
“It’s really an enjoyable event,” states Henry. “Even if Sunday is the only day you can be here, I urge club members to attend. It’s obviously for a great cause and it allows us to connect with race fans from all-over the Northeast.”
Lime Rock Park is located at 497 Lime Rock Rd in Lakeville, Connecticut.
