GRM Speedfest at the Classic Motorsport Mitty
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Feb. 5, 2008 – ORMOND BEACH, Fla.Memory Lane has no speed limit. Want proof? Check out GRM Speedfest at The Classic Motorsports Mitty, HSR’s historic race weekend at Road Atlanta. It’s the ultimate race weekend party thrown by Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports magazines May 2-4.
The magazines’ staff will provide the infield entertainment during the Mitty with car corrals, slot car racing and an automotive swap meet. Plus, a huge party will erupt at the Moss Pub with Moss Motors. Oh, and watch your head: A dart tournament will be part of the festivities.
On track, Ford Power is the Mitty’s theme this year, and both old and new models will take to the asphalt. Classic Fords will do battle in the HSR run groups, and the weekend will feature the competition debut of a new racing series, the Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires.
This series — sanctioned by Grand-Am, the same people who run the Rolex 24 At Daytona — recalls bygone days of production-based door-slammers fighting it out for world domination. Each competitor must run the Ford Mustang FR500S, a factory-built racer based on the latest Mustang GT. Every one of these cars comes ready to hit the track, down to the roll cage and safety gear.
Mazda is again sponsoring the event and will again bring several of their historic cars to the track. Mazda fans can also enjoy the SCCA Pro Mazda MX-5 Cup Series, and thanks to Kumho tires, they’ll also have a chance to autocross an MX-5.
