Here is your chance to hear the stories directly from members of the Mopar Missile team, Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick, John Troxell, Paul Rossi, Tom and Jim Tignanelli, Jim Kramer, Larry Griffth and others. These guys really know how to tell stories, and this is going to be a whole lot of fun. With the focus on the 67-68 seasons, there is nothing better than hearing who beat who, how they did it and recollections of some incredible memories. This is the real deal and a rare opportunity that we are truly honored to present. Saturday at 2:00 pm and Part II Sunday at 11:00 am.

This exceptionally fun and educational lecture dives deep into the events leading up to this landmark Camaro program, spotlights the key players who made it all happen and thoroughly details the performance and cosmetic contents that were added to make these renown vehicles so legendary. Saturday at 3:30 pm.

 

Meet the Future, Hosted by John Kraman of Mecum Auctions: Yes, there really is a future for our hobby. These younger enthusiasts, ranging in age from 13-25 share their stories. A 13-year-old car owner and Junior Dragster driver, several young and very active racers, a 14-year-old automotive photographer, a very bold 18 year old car builder and several young ladies that race in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag series and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty share their passion and tell us how we can help keep the hobby alive. We will also host several students from the RPM Foundation Drive 1 program. Saturday at 4:30 pm and Sunday at Noon.
