I agree that Lime Rock is a fun track, but it isn't quite as "user friendly" as many of the other tracks. Because of their location, they don't run on Sunday and strictly enforce noise restrictions. The only exception is maybe 2x per year for major events.
Plus, they raise their rates each year under the cover of "track repaving". However, for those who have been there lately, they still haven't repaved the track. They did pave the paddock area and became quite anal about trailers. They "issue" wood blocks that MUST be returned or you're charged a hefty fee for it. To make matters worse, I heard that the asphalt didn't cure well.
Because of the above, many regions have reduced or eliminated their events. Apparently, that doesn't necessarily correspond to open dates, though.
