Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park Vintage Festival 2015
Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park held its 2nd Annual Vintage Motorsports Festival the weekend of June 18-21, 2015. Rain washed out all activity on the last day, but before the deluge, we managed to shoot on-track action and scenes in the paddock and garage areas.
The following text appears on the Thompson website as the introduction to the festival:
The Vintage Motorsports Festival returns to Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park on June 19-21 for a weekend of exhilarating historic racing action on the 1.7 mile road course. The inaugural Vintage Motorsports Festival in 2014 saw over 220 cars take to the track over the three day event. MGs, Formula Juniors, Bugattis, Porsches and Camaros were just a few of the cars that spanned the range of the past century of sports car racing.
This year's event will be hosted by VRG and VSCCA, two of the premier vintage racing organizations in the Northeast, and will feature Special Guest Burt Levy, "the world's fastest novelist." Burt “BS” Levy will be signing copies of his highly acclaimed and utterly hilarious motorsports books on Saturday and Sunday in the Vendor Corner.
BMW, Porsche, Alfa Romeo and British car owners are invited to participate in this year’s Car Corrals. A ticket for the car corral gets you preferred parking, and parade laps around the road course during the lunch hour on Saturday or Sunday to the first 30 participants.
The weekend’s festivities will also include family entertainment, food vendors, and more. Bring your dad or husband for the perfect Father's Day gift!
