Those sound like fun. I think Tim and Margie will be there.

My dad and I will be there. I'm hoping to get him to drive the track tour on Saturday. He's 83 and would love it!

i will be there . Trying to get a small miata group together for Daytona on sunday. Tickets are only $25. For me to see the older race cars i never got to will be to exciting..

The Hutchinson Island course is awesome!

It's sad the original business venture failed, but even after 13yrs the site still has to be a great place to host and watch an event. It certainly was for Touring Cars and Indy Lights in 1997.

Kudos to HSR for resurrecting racing on the island!

Y'all get props from me just for finding a way to resurrect the Hutchinson Island circuit. Doesn't Savannah have a lil' history with the Vanderbilt Cup?

As much as I love Robeling Road, Hutch is a much better place for people to see those great old cars.

I dont see any mention of the big bore Can Am or big bore F5000, they would be real crowd pleasers.

The program includes the US B.O.S.S. formula car series. F5000's are part of that, so there will likely be some at the event, along with lots of other cool hardware.

As for CanAm cars, maybe some will be there but it doesn't look they're featured. The Jo Bonnier 2-liter class should be very entertaing, though.
