Start your program year with a Fall outing at Lime Rock Park. An easy campout Friday night followed by an all day Saturday program of racing make this event an all time favorite. Take advantage of a foot-long hot dog and tater fries lunch from the track’s food concession or you can prepare your own meals track-side – either way, your Scouts will be hooked on Scouting forever.
Saturday’s races will provide hours of wheel-to-wheel, flat out racing by highly talented amateur drivers who are in competition for the Northeast Region SCCA championship trophy. Many of the drivers are local residents who frequently race at Lime Rock and look forward to meeting and talking with their Scout fans.
Scouts are free to take home any car parts or tires which fail to finish the race – just follow the skid marks to your own track trophy.
COST: Scouts/Adults $15 Cubs & siblings under 10 $7
Fee includes an event patch for the first 1500 registrants, Friday night camping and adult leader social (crackerbarrel) and Hot Laps for 20 lucky Scouters. What’s a Hot Lap? It’s two high speed laps around the LRP race track in the track’s pace car driven by a skilled and licensed race car driver. The ride will be relatively safe but fast enough to be an exhilarating experience. To qualify for a Hot Lap, you must be 21+ and be a registered Scout leader. Hot Laps will be run during the noon intermission around 12:30 PM. Five Hot Lap passes will be awarded to the units with the most registered Scouts in attendance, the remainder will be door prizes for the crackerbarrel.
No Refunds after September 11, 2015

The program is Risk Free! Units pay nothing up front and simply return any unsold/undamaged cards (coupon tabs must be attached) at settlement on or before May 15, 2015.
4 Ways to sell Camp Cards:
1. Family & Friends – Friends and Family are often the first customers! Ask all of them. 2. Door to Door – sell around the neighborhood (with a parent and in uniform). Don’t forget local businesses. 3. Show & Sell – set up a booth in front of a local business (as a unit, with permission) and sell Camp Cards on the
spot. 4. Sell at work – a great way for parents to help their Scout or their unit.
For more information or to order Camp Cards visit www.ctyankee.org/campcards
