Barre, VT — The popular Brookside Equipment Sales Triple Crown will once again highlight the Milton CAT American-Canadian Tour schedule of events in 2026. Three popular events at three popular and unique racetracks will make for another run to the finale but make no mistake, it’ll be difficult to top the thrills of last year’s season highlights.
Starting as a Southern New England Triple Crown back in 2022, Brookside Equipment Sales of Phillipston, Massachusetts stepped in for the 2023 season with Falconi Energy and has been presenting the Triple Crown ever since! Center Conway, New Hampshire’s D.J. Shaw took down the first two championships before Erick Sands stepped in with a powerful Haunted Hundred win in 2024 to claim the Crown for the first time.

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.
