Hundreds of people streamed onto the racetrack over the course of the weekend to watch time trials, touring car races and the Model 3 challenge, a race of Tesla Model 3 cars.
Gridlife Circuit Legends touts itself as a celebration of modern custom race cars. Races in different classes ran throughout the day Friday and Saturday.
Drifting events wowed spectators at the racetrack. The cars zoomed around Lime Rock’s windy road course, burning rubber around every corner.
Throughout the weekend racers competed in the Gridlife Touring Car races, a series of eight races to test the mettle of the cars and drivers in attendance.
The event attracted some high profile drivers, like T-Pain, who drove a Nissan 240SX for Hert Life.
The “hot concours” hosted racers and their crews as guests meandered and talked cars with the experts. Everyone had to watch their backs, however, as race cars rolled back and forth from their parking spots out to the racetrack.
The missing man is described as a Hispanic male, white hair, brown eyes, 5’8” inches tall, 150 pounds. He was wearing a black shirt, blue shorts and black shoes. He has scars on his forehead and both knees.
