Flyin’ Miata Summer Camp, MegaSquirt MegaMeet,
IMSA RS/SCCA 2.5 Challenge Reunion, and Factory Five Design Contest
Will Make Up a Major Part of This Vintage Racing Weekend,
April 29 – May 1, 2011
The 2011 Classic Motorsports Mitty, the South’s premier vintage race, has added a number of special
infield events as part of the GRM Speedfest at The Mitty.
For starters, this year’s Mitty will host Flyin’ Miata’s Summer Camp East, a gathering for Flyin’ Miata’s
customers and fans of the Mazda Miata. Here are some highlights from the Summer Camp agenda:
- Take a ride with Flyin’ Miata staff on a small track. Various cars will be on hand, including their
specially built V8 Targa Miata and Elvis, their Supertuner Challenge Miata.
- Attend technical seminars in the Flyin’ Miata car tent to learn about the basics of turbocharging and
the company’s new product development. Attendees can also follow a guided tour of a V8 Miata
conversion and ask the Flyin’ Miata folks about technical details.
- Stop by the Flyin’ Miata tent to check out their cool parts. The staff will be there to answer any
parts questions.
- Take advantage of special parts deals and giveaways.
The Flyin’ Miata Summer Camp East, in conjunction with Mazda as the featured marque, should make the
2011 Mitty the biggest Mazda-focused event in history.
If that wasn’t enough, DIYAutoTune.com will hold their MegaSquirt MegaMeet at this year’s Mitty. Visitors
will have the opportunity to hang out with all of the major car geeks behind the MegaSquirt fuel-injection
system. Just about everyone who's played a major role in the project will be on hand for questions and
technical assistance.
MegaMeet attendees will also be able to meet and greet the core members of the DIYAutoTune.com team.
Plus, they’ll get a glimpse of upcoming hardware and hear all of the technical info about it. If it’s new and
related to MegaSquirt, you will likely see it here first. Be sure to check out their tent in the infield.
Next, Factory Five Racing’s new mid-engined sports car contest kickoff party will also take place at The
Mitty. The F5 team will have the new chassis on display for the first time, and they’re inviting attendees to
design the new body. Did we mention that the winner of the contest gets a $5000 prize? Factory Five staff
will be on hand to answer questions about the new car or their existing products.
Just so we don’t forget that The Mitty is also about racing, the IMSA RS/SCCA 2.5 Challenge Reunion
group will races and have their cars on display at this years Mitty. Famous BMW, Datsun, Alfa Romeo
and Mazda IMSA RS 2.5 Trans-Am cars will be on display, while some famous drivers will be present
including Mitty Grand Marshal Jim Downing, himself a former IMSA RS champion. Best of all, the cars will
reunite on track, racing fender to fender while keeping the old racing rivalries alive.
All of these gatherings and events—along with the standard world-class vintage racing—will make the
2011 Classic Motorsports Mitty the best ever. Make your plans now to be at Road Atlanta April 28-May 1.
