Lime Rock Park – ARCA at the 2026 Historic Festival
Dear Historic Festival Competitors, Collectors, and Friends of Lime Rock Park,
As we look ahead to Historic Festival 44, we are proud to extend a special invitation—one Skip Barber has been eager to make—to owners and caretakers of Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) cars.
Our featured marque for HF44 is Alfa Romeo, and it is fitting that this story begins there. The final ARCA race, run in 1940, was won by Frank Griswold driving an Alfa Romeo Grand Prix car. Eight years later, as American road racing re-emerged after World War II, it was Griswold once again—this time winning the inaugural SCCA-sanctioned Watkins Glen Grand Prix in 1948 in a different pre-war Alfa Romeo, an 8C 2900. Few moments illustrate the continuity of American sports car racing more clearly.
