There are many, many Lime Rock Park fans, drivers and friends of the track who greatly admire and love the late John Fitch. Aside from what he did for Lime Rock Park in the track’s first decade, his influence and importance in the racing and automotive worlds is, simply, immeasurable.

Over the upcoming months, we at Lime Rock will be announcing a number of events and initiatives to honor John, but we have something very special to tell you right now, something you can experience this weekend, during Historic Festival 31.

Lime Rock Park has arranged three special showings of the award-winning documentary, “A Gullwing at Twilight, The Bonneville Ride of John Fitch,” at The Moviehouse in Millerton, N.Y., 8 miles from Lime Rock.

The 1-hour showings are Saturday evening, August 31, at 5:00. 7:00 and 9:00 p.m.

Not only that, but the filmmaker himself, Christopher Szwedo, and John's son Steve Fitch, will be on hand and will take your questions after each of the three airings. There will be insights that are sure to be a revelation to many of you.

We are giving you the first opportunity to purchase tickets, which are extremely limited. In order to maximize your experience, the particular auditorium we’ve chosen is the small, intimate "Studio 3" screening room at The Moviehouse.
