Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

  • Making Memories at Lime Rock Park (Part of Our Race Weekend Coverage on Theracesite.Com)
    Making Memories At Lime Rock Park (Part of our race weekend coverage on TheRaceSite.com) 05/28/07 - © Andrew S. Hartwell l "My first ever view of Lime Rock was from the grassy hill overlooking the first turn from the outside of the track. I was 13 and already in love with racing, but my contact with the sport was strictly through books. Now here I was actually looking at D Jaguars and Maseratis (it was 1957). Real racing cars, almost in my back yard. Lime Rock was like a miracle." Those words were written by Sharon, Connecticut's own accomplished racer, author and broadcaster, Sam Posey. They appear in the foreword to Rich Taylor's wonderful history of Lime Rock Park entitled, Lime Rock Park: 35 Years Of Racing. (Sharon Mountain Press, 1992) Posey grew up in a small town just a few short miles away from what was just a gravel pit before it became his point of awakening to the world of real race cars and real racers. The timing for Posey's first visit to the track was perfect as it was in 1957 that Connecticut became home to what is arguably the most beautiful racing venue in the United States. Not the largest of facilities or the one with the longest circuit length, but certainly the only one that can say it lies nestled within a most beautiful, green valley. In this instance, that valley lies within the majestic Berkshire Mountains. And Lime Rock Park is but one of very few that can claim 50 years of continuous auto racing history.
