Apr 22 - Apr 24 at Braselton, GA
Vintage racing’s promise is to resurrect the past glories of sports car racing for a modern audience, and no event does that better than the Classic Motorsports Mitty.
Ford will be the featured marque when the Mitty returns to the beautiful Road Atlanta circuit in Braselton, Georgia on April 21-24, 2016. Ford has had a long and storied history in motorsports, and many of these classic race cars will be on display and on track at the Mitty.
Off the track, the infield will be buzzing with activity thanks to the Grassroots Motorsports Speedfest at the Classic Motorsports Mitty. Spectators will enjoy car corrals, vendors and an expansive hospitality tent, all while surrounded by the buzzing excitement of HSR-sanctioned historic racing activities that will see over 300 cars competing throughout the weekend.
So whether you’re a Ford fan or just a sports car enthusiast in general, you’ll want to make plans now to attend the 2015 Classic Motorsports Mitty. Mark your calendars for April 21–24, 2016 at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia and plan to load up your Ford – or other favorite sports car – and come be a part of one of the largest vintage motorsports gatherings in the country.
Featuring Ford: The 2016 Mitty will showcase the great cars from Ford. Also, get prepared to be blown away by the 50th Anniversary Can Am Reunion. We have several special attractions in the works. If you’re a fan of the blue oval, you’ll find plenty to do at the Mitty.
Meet Al Unser Jr. The IndyCar star will be serving as the Grand Marshal for the 2016 Classic Motorsports Mitty. Want to hang out and have a chat with him? Here's your chance.
Amazing Access: At most big-time races, when the cars come off the track, they're hidden away. That's not how things operate at the Mitty. Want a close-up look at an Audi R8, a Porsche 911 RSR or a BMW Batmobile? Prepare to have your senses overwhelmed.
Experience Speedfest: Speedfest at the Classic Motorsports Mitty Presented by Hagerty is more than just a full slate of HSR historic racing. It’s an automotive festival. Club corrals fill the Road Atlanta infield. Free test drives are available. Vendors offer amazing finds. Hospitality is available for all. The Classic Motorsports staff is on hand to provide a behind-the-scenes look. And the grand marshal isn’t whisked from motorhome to motorhome, as he’ll be palling around with other race fans all weekend.
Take in the Concours d’LeMons Spectacle: Come celebrate the odd, original and overlooked. Have a Cosworth Vega? Bring it. Edsel? Yes, please. Giant American station wagon? We’ll make room. Grassroots Motorsports Magazine and Hagerty Insurance have inexplicably sponsored this expansion of the Concours d’LeMons empire.
Full Weekend of Entertainment: In addition to the full slate of HSR-sanctioned historic racing, the Mitty weekend includes live music, technical seminars, infield camping, vendor row, amazing access, free paddock access, car club corrals, parade laps around the track, and so much more. And don't forget, it all takes place at Road Atlanta, one of the country's most exciting tracks.
