“In the Northwest Corner of Connecticut, far from the pace of the Interstates, is a place that is as private and hidden as its ability to capture the adrenaline in our imagination. Where every year men and women gather to make real their notions of what is beautiful and exciting…where crowds gather on hillsides to root for their friends and heroes. It is called Lime Rock Park.”

2001 Public Broadcasting documentary essay. Nominated for three EMMY Awards. With Sam Posey, Paul Newman, John Fitch, Skip Barber, and Butch Leitzinger.
