Since there's no racing at Lime Rock on Sundays back in the GTP era IMSA
would run a race annually here on the Memorial Day Monday. It was one of
the championship's most popular rounds leading the USRRC and its
successor Grand-Am to both attempt revivals of it in the late 1990s,
2000s, and 2010s.

Paul Newman considered this his home track and loved it deeply. His lone
SCCA Trans-Am win came here in 1986 at the wheel of his famous #33 Nissan.

This track was trying to raise its profile in the mid-1990s and pursued
adding races for the new NASCAR Truck series and CART as part of the
effort. Neither effort panned out.

Top level prototypes haven't been run here in United SportsCar era after
2013 but they were in IMSA, ALMS, USRRC, and Grand-Am. One of the more
famous IMSA GTP highlights came here in 1987 when Al Holbert and his #1
Lowenbrau Porsche 962 came up fast one of the RC Cola Buick-powered
racers cresting a hill; the Buick took the air off the Porsche's nose
and it resulted in Holbert popping a very fast, notably high wheelie
before the front end came back down. Holbert still went on to win that
race despite a spin on the opening lap. They added chicanes atop the
hill to slow down the GTPs after that.
