One idea is to raffle off a bunch of rides around LRP in a few select open-top vintage cars - especially if you can get a 'name' to drive them. Someone posted earlier about a charity tie-in - why not sell the raffle chances to benefit the charity?<br />
<br />
Pick 6 cars, offer fans 3 laps around in one of the 6 cars. That is 6 people/cars on the track at one time. Then put another 6 people in and run 3 new laps, repeat one more time. That puts 18 fans on the track. 18 fans who will be sure to tell all…

The whole thing shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour, but the memories will last a long, long time!<br />

Lining the circuit with show cars is an exciting idea. There are many vintage show cars around the state. If you tie the car show to a charity it will help to get the word out. I personally support the Ct food bank. People will come out for a charity event and charities help get the word out. This can be a win win situation. Charity events tend to be family events. If you make it easy for people to buy tickets at the Sunday show for Monday racing by say offering a family package at a discount…

If you make it easy for people to buy tickets at the Sunday show for Monday racing by say offering a family package at a discount if they drop off food for the food bank, you may get a lot of people at the Monday race that might not have otherwise come out. At the very least you will be exposing new people to the wonderful experience of Lime Rock Park. You can see some pics of some of the cars we were able to draw to the Naugatuck Vintage Car Show on my site at <a href="http://web.me.com/krajeski">http://web.me.com/krajeski</a>. Happy motoring!
