Lime Rock Park Historic Festival 44
Lime Rock Park’s Historic Festival 44 to Celebrate Alfa Romeo in 2026
The Lime Rock Park Historic Festival 44 will be an exciting event this year as Alfa Romeo will be the celebrated featured marque for 2026. Alfa Romeo will take center stage, honoring 116 years of passion, innovation and racing excellence. The festival is from Sept 4-7. This will be an awesome event displaying many vintage and racing Alfas both on the show field and on the track. There will be some of the best examples from the east and west coasts, of rare vintage racing Alfas including T33s, TZ1s, TZ2s, GTAs, TI Supers, Giuliettas, SZs, Monzas, 8Cs, 6Cs, and more. This is an event that you will not want to miss.
NYAROC will definitely be attending this event, and we encourage you to join us and enjoy the Labor Day weekend racing festivities. We are also coordinating with our friends from CTAROC, NJAROC, and HVAROC to try and organize a drive together or to have a dedicated area for our clubs at the event. More to come on this. Please make your plans and reservations early, especially if you plan to stay overnight. Rooms fill quickly and tickets sell fast. Some of you may want to stay for the entire weekend and others may want to just come for the day on Sunday.
Sunday September 6th will be the busiest day as it includes 2 highlight events – the Sunday in the Park Concours and the Gathering of the Marques. To register your car for the concours, please click on the link below to complete an online application. The application is due by August 19th.

Raid del’ Etna 2025
RAID DELL’ ETNA 2025
september 28th - october 4th
Ladies and gentlemen, in 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2024 I organized a car guy’s trip of a lifetime in beautiful Sicily. Now I’m doing it again in 2025! Over 100 people in our inner circle of members/friends have gone, some more then once and they can’t say enough about their fantastic experiences while touring, driving, eating and drinking, laughing, forging new friendships that will last a life time.
The Raid dell’ Etna Sicilian Classic Car Rally consists of 7 days and 6 nights of a full schedule of drives, sightseeing tours, all meals in jaw dropping venues, 4/5 star hotel stays, enjoying great company, experiencing the southern Italian/sicilian culture, customs, history, cuisine, gorgeous landscapes and spectacular coastline seascapes, etc. dates are Sept. 28 through Oct.4 2025.
If you’re planning a major anniversary, milestone birthday, always wanted to visit Sicily and mainland Italy or figured out that life’s just too short join me and others on this fantastic voyage, I 100% guarantee you’ll never forget your time spent on this trip of a lifetime.
Itinerary, information, all pricing, Incidentals is all covered in the links below. Besides those links the organizers have about 20+ classic and modern cars they rent out to the participants. Early birds that verbally commit and wire their deposits get the choice of the best cars so planning early is key.
By March you should be 99% verbally committed. Comparing this package in this caliper of European classic car rallies this event is the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.
In quoting 1 of our participants (from our 2023 trip) that’s been on numerous European car rallies and even the famous prestigious Mille Miglia, he said this Raid dell’ Etna was the BEST in his opinion!
Open and absorb all the material covered. If you have any questions or concerns I’m always available to chat and ease your concerns.
