Throwback Gallery: 2019 Trans Am Memorial Day Classic
Lime Rock Park and Memorial Day weekend. For gear heads in New England they just go together. For decades summer began at the Road Racing Center of the East with a weekend full of racing. In 2020, however, things are different. Because of the global pandemic emergency sporting events of all kinds have been put on hold or flat out canceled. The 2020 Trans Am Memorial Day Classic is, unfortunately, among them. Thankfully it hasn’t been canceled. Instead it’s rescheduled to October 16-17 and is now known as the Trans Am Fall Classic.
In lieu of being trackside I have compiled a selection of photos from the 2019 Trans Am Memorial Day Classic. This gallery of course includes photos of on-track action, but also the spectators, officials, and drivers as well as photos from the Sunday Royals Car Show and the Farm to Table BBQ. This is such a great event and it’s a shame it won’t take place as scheduled. My heart goes out to everyone at Lime Rock Park who put in so much work to make it happen just to see it postponed. I hope scrolling through this gallery will bring you back to good times at Lime Rock and get you excited for the return of Trans Am and SVRA in October. See you then!
