Mitty Ford Mustang 2008 Speedfest,Georgia

Come join us in Georgia for the ultimate race weekend party: GRM Speedfest at The Classic Motorsports Mitty May 2–4. Once again, we'll take care of the infield entertainment during HSR's Road Atlanta historic race weekend with car corrals, autocross runs and a huge party at the Moss Pub with Moss Motors, complete with a dart tournament.

HSR Historic Racing From the Ferraris of the ‚50s to the Cobras, Corvettes and Jaguars of the '60s to the incredible IMSA GTP cars of the '80s and '90s, you can relive the most thrilling battles in motorsports history at this event. Ford Power is the Mitty‘s theme this year, and both old and new models will be featured. Classic Fords will do battle in the HSR run groups, while the weekend will also feature the debut race for the new Ford Racing Mustang Challenge for the Miller Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires.

This series — sanctioned by Grand-Am, the same people who run the Rolex 24 At Daytona — recalls days gone by of production-based door-slammers fighting it out for world domination. Each competitor must run the Ford Mustang FR500S, a factory-built racer based on the latest Mustang GT. Each car comes from the factory ready to race, down to the roll cage and safety gear.
