Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car Show
In conjunction with the Grand-Am GT Classic Memorial Day Weekend, Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car will be holding it's second-annual Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car Show on Sunday, 27 May 2007.
Sunday is a quiet day in the Park, so what better way to spend the day than to showcase the regions most desirable cars. With additional displays, activities, featured marques and guests this year, it will surely make this one of the premier vintage sports car shows in years to come. The show is for authentic sports and exotic cars from the 1989 model year and earlier. At the end of the show, Hemmings’ editorial staff will award first and second place plaques for sports and exotic cars in 10 different vehicle categories. The featured marque at the 2007 show is Porsche Sports Cars, and Hemmings is welcoming owners of all Porsche sports cars, regardless of year, to participate.
Since interest in sports cars and sporting motorcycles goes hand-in-hand, Hemmings is also featuring Ducati for 2007. Riders of all Ducati motorcycles are welcome to be a part of the show.
Trophy recipients in each of the vehicle segments will be featured in an upcoming issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine. Winners in each of the different vehicle segments will be eligible for the 2007 Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car Show “Best in Show�? award. The winning car will be featured on the cover of Hemmings 2008 Sports & Exotic Car calendar.

With generations of fans making the trip to the track, Memorial Day is simply synonymous with racing at Lime Rock Park. Grand-Am will bring some of the loudest and closest competition with the GT class battles between Porsches, Pontiacs, Corvettes, Ferraris, and Mustangs. The spirit of the original "Little Le Mans" race at Lime Rock Park in 1957 is carried on as a huge field of Koni Challenge Series cars keeps the tradition of production car racing alive as part of the Memorial Day weekend.
In addition to the endurance racing from Grand-AM, the SPEED World Challenge will stage a fifty-minute sprint complete with a standing start from the Touring Cars on Saturday.
