Next weekend is the first of a double header for Monoposto. Mont Tremblant will be followed a week later by Road America. These are two great tracks about two days transport apart.
Mont Tremblant is without a doubt the most family friendly track on our schedule. The track is located less than ten minutes from a great ski resort with many hotels, condos and rooming choices, dozens of restaurants and a world class music festival on the same weekend. There is so much to do beside racing you may not see your family at the track! But the racing is awesome. Turn 2 is a flat out righthander that you enter going downhill, then rise sharply to the apex at the peak of a hill and trackout still going downhill, always turning right. The rest of the track is just as challenging with high speed sweepers, a carousel, a bridge turn (like turn 6 at Road America) and Namerow, the final (and slowest) corner, that will test your uphill braking abilities and the turning radius of your car. If you can't guess, I love the track. The Monoposto party will be hosted by Bill and Donna Demarest in their paddock on Saturday, immediately after the track is cool.
Road America is the longest track on our schedule. The WeatherTech International Challenge is a huge event with enough classes and run groups to interest everyone. It's one of the largest events of the racing calendar and has so many open wheel cars that there are five feature race run groups for them: from formula 1 to formula 5000, formula Atlantics and Super Vees to formula B and formula Ford. The track itself is fun to drive and has several signature features from the Carousel to the Kink to Canada Corner. It's really high speed and challenging. We are joining forces with the Formula 5000 Registry to host the Monoposto party. Come join us in the F5000 tent in the West Paddock at 6pm on Saturday night.
Following these two weekends of racing we will be nearly halfway through the 2019 Monoposto schedule. There will be six remaining events: two in August, three in September and one in October. Checkout www.monoposto.com for the details and come on out and have some fun!
