Race Report

Racing, racing, RACING!! Gear up for the Todd Cholmondeley ITSpec*tacular Double Regional Race weekend on July 29th and 30th, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. There promises to be some very competitive racing on this historical track where some of racing’s great legends have run. Racers will have an opportunity to compete on both the club and the pro configurations. The divisional races on Saturday and Sunday count for the Divisional Championship and are qualifying races for the run-offs, this year at VIRginia International Raceway. On-track sessions start at 8am with qualifying, with some racing before the lunch break and continuing until 5 on Saturday. Wrapping up the on-track activities Saturday is a one-hour bracket race, where drivers with cars of any class compete against each other, based on the “time bracket” they have posted in their regular class groupings. We’ll wrap it up earlier on Sunday to give racers a chance to load up and start their trek home.

In 2022 we brought you the HPNPC race at Mid-Ohio. This was a group exclusively for H Production cars competing for their own National Championship as well as the Great Lakes Divisional Championship and Runoffs qualification. This was an unusual situation given that most races are made up of multiple classes. This year by request, we are bringing you an exclusive group of ITB, ITC, and B-Spec cars in their own group. They are usually grouped with many other classes. This will afford them the opportunity to showcase their cars and their driving skills on their own. I’m looking forward to this group!

On Friday, you can take your daily driver, or any other car you can get your hands on, out on course without fear of a speeding ticket. Never done this before? A little apprehensive? We will provide you with a driver coach to help guide you until you are comfortable with running solo. A seasoned veteran? Choose the Advanced Group, which allows you less restrictive passing rules. Have a race prepared car but no competition license? Run on Friday and stay over for a 1-hour bracket race on Saturday afternoon for wheel-to-wheel racing.

Not yet ready to get on track but want to be a part of the fun?  We can always use help to support the racers and get you up close and personal with the cars and drivers or get you out on a corner where the action is. We’ll also feed the volunteers lunch on Saturday and Sunday, and dinner on Saturday. In fact, run on Friday and stay to work on Saturday and/or Sunday and earn a $25/day rebate on your entry fee.
