Moving our Northeastern events into September should pay dividends from the standpoint of weather.\u201d<br>Lime Rock Park President Skip Barber further expressed the Park\u2019s commitment to holding a 2020 season all while protecting fans, participants and staff. \u201cLime Rock Park is currently open to private events and we\u2019re working diligently on plans to host our first spectator event on Labor Day weekend. The 38th annual Historic Festival will take place on Sept. 3-7, and while some aspects of the event may be altered to ensure everyone\u2019s safety, the weekend should provide a much needed opportunity for fans to experience a live race.\u201d<br>Along with holding the Northeast Grand Prix on the weekend following its Historic Festival, the Park will hold the Trans Am SpeedTour Classic on Oct. 16-18, 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAKEVILLE, Conn.
