Dear PCA Members,

When planning to attend this event, please review the important information below. We look forward to hosting you, your family, friends, and crew at Lime Rock Park.

CVR Club Race Director / Registrar

 

June 5–6, 2026 • Lime Rock Park

Now in its 34th year at Lime Rock Park, Racing @ the Rock delivers outstanding viewing, a tight and technical track, and a paddock that is always buzzing. Spectators can walk right up to the cars, talk with racers, and feel the intensity of race day from just a few feet away. It is an easy and welcoming way to experience PCA racing in an early summer setting.

PCA Club Racing at Lime Rock Park gives you rare access to the action. The paddock is open, the teams are right there, and you can watch race prep and teamwork unfold up close. You can talk with racers, see the cars firsthand, and enjoy the atmosphere as everyone prepares to go wheel to wheel.

Lime Rock offers excellent viewing throughout the circuit, from the fast sections to the corners where races are decided. The paddock is competitive on track but relaxed and welcoming off track, filled with people who enjoy sharing the sport.

If you are a PCA member who loves motorsports, this event offers an experience you will not find anywhere else. We look forward to seeing you trackside.

Respectfully submitted,
Lisa Parker
Club Race Chair

The Waiver and Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement for Minors as Observers Only is required for any minor under 18 who will:

  • Enter cold (nonhot) areas at a DE track event or Club Race

This waiver does not permit minors to enter hot or restricted areas, nor does it allow any driving or riding activities.

  • At least one parent or legal guardian must sign the waiver.
  • Both parents/guardians should sign if available.
  • Friends or relatives (including grandparents) may not sign in place of a parent/guardian.
  • The waiver must be signed in front of a PCA witnessing official at the event OR signed in advance only if notarized.
  • A new waiver is required for each event.
  • Once completed, the minor receives the designated PCA wristband, which must be visible at all times in PCA controlled areas.

Where Minors Are Allowed
With the proper PCA wristband, minors may enter:

  • Paddock cold areas only
  • Viewing and spectator areas
  • Registration
  • Hospitality and social spaces
  • Vendor areas
  • Car corrals
  • Concours and display areas

  • Any hot or restricted zone
  • Any area designated “PCA Participants Only” during active track sessions

Minors under 16 are never permitted in hot pits or grid under any circumstances.

Where Spectators Can Watch
Lime Rock Park offers excellent viewing throughout the circuit. Popular areas include:

  • The Uphill — highspeed compression and acceleration
  • Big Bend — heavy braking and overtaking
  • The Esses — rhythm, precision, and close racing
  • Paddock Perimeter — watch race prep and pit work up close

Spectators may walk the paddock, observe teams at work, and talk with racers when they are not on track. Please respect all marked hot areas and follow instructions from PCA Race Staff.

Paddock Etiquette

To keep the paddock safe and enjoyable:

  • Stay alert — cars move quietly and quickly.
  • Keep clear of trailers, equipment, and fueling areas.
  • Ask before touching any car or equipment.
  • Children must remain with an adult.

The paddock is friendly and welcoming, but it is also an active work zone.

 

No Animals at the Event

We love your four-legged family members, but for their safety and the safety of our drivers, animals are not permitted at CVR Club Race events. This includes dogs and all other pets.

A live motorsports venue presents serious hazards for animals. Racing cars generate extreme noise levels that can cause significant distress and disorientation, even for well-trained dogs. A startled or frightened animal can break free from a leash, enter a hot or restricted zone, and create a dangerous distraction for drivers at speed — putting both the animal and event participants at risk.

We ask that you make arrangements to leave your pets at home. This policy applies to all areas of the event, including the paddock, spectator zones, and parking areas.

  • Service Animals: ADA-recognized service animals are welcome at the event. Handlers must carry current documentation confirming their animal’s service animal status and be prepared to present it to PCA Race Staff upon request.
  • We Support Animal Welfare: While animals cannot join us at the track, CVR is proud to support those who care for them. We are active supporters of the Protectors of Animals (POA), a local nonprofit dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of animals in need. If you share our love of animals, we encourage you to learn more about their work or make a donation.

 

What to Bring

  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • Ear protection, especially for children
  • Water and snacks (LRP concessions may also be open)
  • A camera — paddock access is unbeatable

A detailed schedule will be available at the entrance gate and posted throughout the paddock.

 

Parking at Lime Rock Park

All spectator parking will be located in Lime Rock Park’s designated Spectator Parking Area.

  • Gravel and grass lot with easy walk in access to viewing areas
  • No spectator vehicles allowed in Paddock A or Paddock B
  • ADA parking available — notify LRP staff at the main entrance
