Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course F-Body Gathering - 6/19/10

[MrsLT1PWRD]

Camaro has not only returned to the streets....it is also back on the racetrack!!

Camaros are back in competition in the Grand-Am Rolex & Contintental Tire Challenge Series and will be racing at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course June 18-20. What better way to welcome them back then to pack the infield with Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts and their rides?!?!?!?!

Come on out to Mid-Ohio on Saturday, June 19 and enjoy a day of fast cars and fun with fellow Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts at the EMCO Gears Classic! You will have the opportunity to see the:
** Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series race
** Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race
** Practice and qualifying for the ARCA Truck Series, VW Jetta TDI Cup and Ford Mustang Challenge races.

We are going to have the opportunity to check out the Stevenson Motorsports Camaro racecars and have a private “meet and greet” with their drivers. Stevenson Motorsports campaigns the VinSolutions Camaro GTRs in the Rolex Series and the Sunoco Camaro GSRs in the Continental Tire Challenge Series. This will be a great chance to get some photos and autographs. Many thanks to Stevenson Motorsports for offering this awesome opportunity to our group! For more info on Stevenson Motorsports, checkout their site at http://www.stevensonmotorsports.com/.

Advanced tickets - $30 per person - children 12 and under are free!
This includes:
** Weekend general admission
** Paddock (garage area) Pass - get to see the cars up close!
** Open grandstand seating

Note: Other ticket options are available, but this is the best bang for your buck.

If you purchase tickets, it would be greatly appreciated if you would post up here: 1) that you did and the number of people attending and 2) if you are bringing your Camaro/Firebird (so we know the size of the corral needed).

If you've never witnessed big-time road course racing, this is your chance! These are the cars and teams that run in the 24-Hours of Daytona and other prestigious road course races across the USA. Mid-Ohio is a beautiful facility that features a 2.4 mile, 15-turn circuit that is one of the most competitive in the US.

This is a great event and a great course. I actually started a thread to organize a track day there.

So let your camaro club know. I was trying to keep it to the 5th gen cars, but not necessary.
