Waterford Hills Road Racing Inc. is going vintage this weekend.
As part of their season-long, 50th anniversary celebration, organizers will host a full weekend of vintage vehicle displays and era-specific racing, and reunite past and present members and racers.
The course was originally created in 1958 as a short one lane dirt track for time trials, but grew to a two-lane 1.5 mile paved race track within two years.
The festivities begin on Friday evening with annual SCAMP Concours in the Park.
A cruise of cars will begin at Southern Motors on Dixie Highway and will make their way to Depot Park.
‘It’s a nice casual event and free for the public,? said event organizer Laura Respecki. ‘All funds raised on Friday will go to SCAMP.?
During the event, they will have a silent auction featuring racing memorabilia, such as a Dale Earnhardt, Jr. signed magazine.
They will have lots of food including Mac and Cheese from the Clarkston Union, sandwiches from Mr. Pita and an ice cream social.
‘We will feature all cars that have raced at Waterford Hills through the year, and will see modern cars,? said Respecki.
Those cars include a 1932 Ford Street Rod and a brand-new Mustang.
The car show in Depot Park will run from 6 p.m.-9 p.m., and the silent auction will be from 6 p.m.- 8 p.m.
The anniversary events will continue Saturday with qualifying and racing from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at Waterford Hills.
Sunday will be a day of vintage racing and the Meadow Brook Concours D’Elegance.
The public is invited to all club racing events. There are viewing and concession areas available for the spectators.
General admission tickets for any WHRRI event is $10 a day.
A five dollar off coupon is available online at www.waterfordhills.com.
Also online are race schedules and directions to get to Waterford Hills and Southern Motors.
All cars are welcome to SCAMP Concours in the Park and can be registered by going to WHRRI website and clicking on the Clarkston SCAMP link.
