The weekend of May 3 to 5 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio is the Acura Sports Car Challenge which features the IMSA racing Series and the BMW GT LeMans M8’s. The Allegheny Chapter is working on securing tickets for the races. All who join us have the option of caravanning together to and from the track. Plans are still in development but the goal is to offer various options:
- Option One: 1 Weekend general admission pass, infield car corral parking, access to the super pavilion, catered lunch, private lounge, cash bar. $165
- Option Two: 1 weekend general admission pass, infield parking, $105.
- Option Three: 1 weekend grandstand pass, infield parking $115
The paddocks are open to all, which is a nice option. Bobby Rahal BMW of South Hills is working on a meet and greet with Team RHLL and get a up close view of the M8 GT Lemans Race cars in the paddocks. This will be a limited opportunity.
