PARADE ENTRY FORMS:
The annual Historic Festival Vintage Race & Sports Car Parade is one of the most popular adjunct events that surround each year's Historic Festival. The parade starts at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 3, at Lime Rock Park on the Sam Posey Straight. Here more than 100 great cars "rally" before taking a 17-mile route on the local roads. The routed includes driving through the heart of Lakeville and Salisbury, CT, where parade-watchers will be waiting in anticipation.
If you own a 1975 or older sports car or vintage race car and want to participate in the Thursday (Sept. 3, 2020) parade, please fill out and return the parade entry form. Space is limited, so don't hesitate!

SUNDAY IN THE PARK - CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE:
The Sunday in the Park Concours and Gathering of the Marques is on the Sunday – this year, September 6, 2020 – between the two racing days of each year's Labor Day weekend Historic Festival. No other event in the U.S. combines a first-class concours d’elegance with quality vintage competition on the same property, all on the same weekend. Sunday in the Park is comprised of two features; nearly 200 outstanding entries are on display on the Sam Posey Straight in the Concours d’ Elegance, with an additional 800+ cars celebrating the event around the rest of the 1.5 mile track in the Gathering of the Marques enthusiast meet.
The 2020 Sunday in the Park Concours will be a superlative show of beauty, elegance and speed, with interesting and diverse classes, in a perfect ambiance. Sunday in the Park’s class titles convey our whimsical, unfussy approach. The cars are grouped by purpose and/or year, not exclusively by make and model.

Some notes on the Sunday in the Park judging process:
- Judging for this year's Sunday in the Park vehicles will be (i) Peer Judging, in which the owners of the vehicles in each class (please see the Class List below) will be given ballots requesting their votes for the best two vehicles in the Class and (ii) a small number of field-wide awards where the winner will be chosen by the award's sponsor (e.g. the Greenwich Concours and Sports Car Market awards) or by Sunday in the Park senior staff.
- Displays or "automobilia" of interest and other items specific to your vehicle are encouraged.
- Mechanical condition counts and from time to time, Judges may ask you to ''start-up,'' listening for that distinctive audio track your car makes.
The online application for participating in the Concours can be found at https://limerock.com/sunday-in-the-park-app. If you have questions, please contact Mitch@limerock.com or call Mitch Conroy at 860.435.5000, ext. 113.
