Lime Rock is the prettiest racetrack I've ever been to. If there's an event going on, it's worth checking out. Can't be more than an hour and a half or so there. The drive is beautiful, too.

There are also cruise nights all over the place. Almost exclusively of the American iron/muscle car type. I spent a couple summers in Springfield, MA (north of Hartford). Bored out of my skull, but I think I found a different cruise night for 4 out of 5 weekday evenings. I can't recall which spot was for which night. But there were events in Easthampton, Ludlow (Elks Club? Wednesday night spaghetti and cruise night?), some town along the Connecticut River a town or two north of Springfield, on the way to Northampton, and the mother of all cruise nights in West Enfield (?), CT. If you can catch that one, definitely check it out. About a football field or two in size, with easily a couple hundred cars there. Very impressive get together. Free. Call around the hot rod shops when you get to Hartford, and see if it's still running. They've got to know about it.
