Last year the Kohler International Challenge event was sponsored by corporate Ford Motor Company, not just the local dealers. The dates are July 15 - 18. They had a VERY big presence there with lots of different displays and interactive stuff. There was a huge tent devoted to the GT40, Drift Racing, Off Road, etc.
One of the events included test drives on one of the Pro Cart tracks that included the new 2010 SHO. All you had to do was sign a sheet and wait in line for your turn. You could go as many times as you wanted and high speeds were encouraged by the attending Ford staffers. It was a blast!
Although I'm not certain about what is planned for this year I am hoping for a big splash by Ford again. Maybe someone in the club with closer ties to Ford would be able to nose around and get a better idea of their plans.
I know it's the weekend following our convention but I'll be going for certain as we live 15 minutes from the track. Anyone else want to join in? Maybe with a little advanced notice/planning we could field a SHO contingent to show some support for Ford? Just thinkin.........
Also for you Nascar fans RA will be hosting the "NASCAR Nationwide RA 200" this year. The event takes place on June 17 - 20. All of the information is available at: http://www.roadamerica.com
