TMS is asking for 35 Corvettes on Friday, June 7th, and 28 Corvettes on Saturday, June 8th, to take NASCAR and Indy Car drivers on a Parade Lap following their introductions. Cars will be limited to convertibles with their tops down and coupes with their tops stowed. (Fixed-roof cars are not eligible.)
Drivers will be riding on your deck lid (convertibles) or standing behind your passenger seat for a lap around the track. Each car will get 2 tickets to each race. You do not need to sign up for both races. At this time, it is not known if your passenger will be able to ride with you on the Parade Lap. TMS will provide secure parking for your car during the race(s) if you choose to attend.
You and your guest will watch the race(s) from the new Turn One Terrace under the Speedway Club. In addition to being a great vantage point to view the race(s), the Turn One Terrace gives you room to move around and allows access to the 4th Floor of The Speedway Club and its amenities.
Schedule:
On both days, drivers will meet at the TMS Dirt Track Pits. (Click “TMS Map” tab below to check location.) Please note that your car will be inspected by TMS and CANNOT be showing any signs of leaking oil or coolant.
