Gathering of the Marques Sunday Sept 1

How about a turnout of ZR-1s so we can show them why the ZR-1's the most unique Corvette ever built???

Last year there was only one Vette with more than 1 cam...

It's amazing how the non-Corvette "car guys" you'll find at a place like Lime Rock know more about the ZR-1 than the average self proclaimed "Corvette expert" (poseurs...) you'll find at cruze nites and show & shines!

The Sunday in the Park Concours and Gathering of the Marques is on the Sunday -- this year, September 1 -- in between the two racing days of each year's Labor Day weekend Historic Festival. No other event in the U.S. combines a first-class concours with quality vintage competition all on the same property, all on the same weekend. Sunday in the Park is now recognized as a truly significant date on the collector-car calendar.

Gathering of the Marques is literally hundreds of cars lining the track, grouped by make, model or country of origin. You'll see huge displays of Shelbys and BMWs and Corvettes and Jaguars and MGs... Astons, Rolls and Loti... Porsches, Peugeots and Panteras... Volvos and Saabs, Minis, Mercurys, Mercedes and Mopars, Fiats and Lambos. If it's an interesting and fun car, you can be sure their owners find their way to Lime Rock Park to park right next to their brethren. In other words, if someone loves it, you can be sure it'll here.

Your car does not need to be a "show car"!!! (but it would be nice if ya washed it...)

In addition, 2013 is a glorious year of motoring anniversary milestones: Buick and Aston Martin are 100; Cunningham and Corvette are 60, and McLaren is 50, as are the Porsche 911, and Lotus Elan. Historic festival 31 will honor these birthdays with special exhibit classes and on-track racing activities during the weekend.

Sunday is, of course, the fabulous Sunday in the Park Concours, where hundreds of superb entrants line Sam Posey Straight, from the Downhill to Big Bend. The Gathering of the Marques fills the remainder of Lime Rock's 1.5 miles with more than 800 additional cars brought by enthusiasts and club organizers.

We encourage you to come for the drive, the fun, and the spectacle of the event, where road truly meets track -- and where go combines perfectly with show.

See you there! http://limerockhistorics.com/marques/
