Memorial Day Weekend has always been a tradition with sports car road racing fans. (Credit: Lime Rock photo.)

 

Since Pirelli World Challenge star driver Michael Cooper doesn’t live far from Lime Rock, we kidnapped him on his run to Starbucks – then convinced him to hang out with you folks! He and a bunch of his Lime Rock peeps will be at the BLACK RABBIT Bar & Grill (2 Ethan Allen St., Lakeville) Thursday, May 26, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. And he’s bringing his #8 Cadillac ATS-V.R. GT3!

 

We’ve got “racy” drink and food specials, raffles and other fun things happening.

Is it wrong to tell you Coop is cute, young (26), funny and articulate? And that Michael possibly has his, um, “older” teammate – four-time PWC champion Johnny O’Connell – sorta kinda worried about his speed on the track? Well, so be it. So stop in at the Black Rabbit Bar & Grill next Thursday, 4 to 6, and rub shoulders with star driver Michael Cooper!

 
O’Connell and the rest of the Pirelli World Challenge gang will be qualifying this Friday, May 27 at the 1.6 mile road course at Lime Rock in Connecticut and racing with the other sports car series on the busy card which starts around 9 a.m.
