Cruising Peachy Meets Gorgeous Gifts for Mr. & Ms. Impossible to Shop For: A Unique, Unusual Holiday Gift… How about driving your own car on a world-famous race track? For $995, you can drive your own car at high speed - with a private instructor sitting "right seat" - on Lime Rock Park's iconic race track.

For the first time in its 55-year history, Lime Rock Park is offering the opportunity for anyone to drive their own street car on the famous 1.5-mile road course in Lakeville, Conn., for $995. Private professional coaching and catered meals come with the four hours of guaranteed track time, all part of an exclusive Track Day package provided by the Lime Rock Drivers Club, the automotive and racing country club based at Lime Rock Park.
There are no pre-requisites other than being 18 or older and having a valid driver’s license.

Lime Rock Park is in Litchfield County, Conn., in the state’s northwest corner, about 100 miles from both New York City and Boston, Mass. The motorsports park, built in 1957 and substantially unchanged since, is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The $995 Club driving package includes liability insurance, one-on-one professional coaching, helmets, food, beverage and the use of the private Club Chalet.

For inquiries or to purchase a Lime Rock Park Track Day Holiday Gift Certificate, contact Jeanette Veitenheimer (the Club administrator) by phone at 860.435.5000, extension 308, or by e-mail at jeanette@limerock.com.

Track Day car insurance is recommended (though not required) and can be purchased through HPDE Insurance(www.hpdeins.locktonaffinity.com).
