American LeMans Series
Saturday, August 7
Mid-Ohio
|
Greetings,
ZBimmers!
August
will find the Z’s at Mid-Ohio on August 7 for the American
LeMans Series and one of Ohio’s biggest motorsports
weekend! No, we’re not competing - at least, not this year
– but we’ll join with BMW CCA enthusiasts from several
chapters to watch BMW race for first place as the series
enters its final stretch of the season. Dave and Pam Fisher
will lead a convoy from Medina to Mid-Ohio to make sure you
get to the track in time for all the action. The BMW CCA
chapters will have a corral and hospitality tent with food
and door prizes to make your day even more memorable!
There are
3 things to do for the ZBimmer outing to Mid-Ohio.
[1]
Purchase your tickets for the race at
Mid-Ohio tickets
before August 4. The cost is $80 for one person and $65 for
your passenger (since they only charge one parking fee per
car). The ticket includes general admission, reserved
grandstand seating, paddock pass, pit access pass and
reserved infield parking!
[2] Get
your ticket for the BMW CCA corral and hospitality tent at
motorsportreg.com.
The $20 ticket includes lunch and a chance to win lots of
door prizes. Did I mention there is also a big screen TV in
the tent, so you won’t miss any of the action?
[3]
Let Dave know by the 3rd that you’ll be convoying with him
from Medina (dwfisher@windstream.net).
The departure is 8 AM from Denny’s Restaurant, 3105 Medina
Road, Medina, 330.723.1600.
Of course,
the day can be ala carte, too. You can meet Dave at the
track (7721 Steam Corners Road, Lexington, OH, 800.643.6446)
and/or park with the masses and/or grab some track food for
lunch.
Here's the
standard boilerplate for the ALMS event at Mid-Ohio. Please
join us for the entire trip or just the part that's
convenient for you. Bring along all the Z's that you can
find. Dress appropriately for the temperature because we
drive regardless of weather. Don't forget sunscreen and sun
glasses if it's bright. Have a full tank of gas to start
the drive. Bring your Talkabouts tuned to channel 7,5. Be
sure the camera has batteries or film. Remember your tank
of gas donation for Make A Wish. Contributions now total
$22,406! Do visit
zbimmers.org
for information and history of our adventures.
Looking
forward to seeing everyone again and enjoying some fine
racing! See you on the 7th!
Dave, Pam and Cindy
