A look at the tumultuous early years of American’s oldest continuously operated road racecourse.

Lime Rock Park in Connecticut—American’s oldest continuously operated road course—came about more by accident than design. Construction of the course began in 1955, when open road racing had been banned in many states, and the use of military and civil airport runways for racing was losing favor with audiences. Dubbed “the Road Racing Center of the East,” the park has a turbulent history bedeviled by financial crises, discord with racing organizers, and extensive legal troubles, but it managed to prevail against steep odds. Terry O’Neil’s book details this history of mixed fortunes during the first twenty years of the park’s existence. Containing more than a thousand images, hundreds of race results, and a wealth of previously unseen material, Lime Rock Park is a thorough deep dive into the rocky beginnings of a crucial site in the history of American automobile racing.
