To all of you "Die-Hard" Champ Car Loyalists...
IT'S OFFICIAL !! The 5th Annual Winter Meeting of Champ Car fans will take place at The Motorsports Hall of Fame, 43000 Expo Center Drive in Novi, Michigan at 6PM on Saturday, January 10, 2009.
Each of the past 4 winters a group of Champ Car fans has gathered in the Detroit area to have fun sharing racing experiences, information and opinions. The last three years Billy Kamphausen, former Director of Logistics for Champ Car, has been part of that group. The date this winter is Saturday, January 10, 2009, and Billy has again agreed to be part of the group.
As the only person who was an employee from the beginning of CART in 1979 to the end of Champ Car in 2008 Billy has a wealth of open wheel racing stories and a lot of personal experiences and insight to share with us.
The cost for the evening, including both meeting space at the Motorsports Hall of Fame and dinner, is $30 per person. To reserve your spot at this special gathering please send your check for $30 to David Pixley, 55 New London Rd., Pittsford, NY 14534.
To accommodate travelers we have negotiated a very special room rate of $79 per night at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel, 21111 Haggerty Road in Novi for both Friday, January 9 and Saturday, January 10. Call 248-349-4000 and tell them you are with CCIC Friends to get that rate. If you want to spend a longer time visiting friends in the Detroit area the $79 rate is good from two days before to two days after the dates quoted. The Sheraton is about 4 miles from the Motorsports Hall of Fame.
We will also designate a location where we can each order lunch and spend some additional time together on Saturday. That will give some of us a chance to spend more time with old friends and others a chance to meet new friends who share a passion for open wheel racing. This will primarily interest those who have traveled to Detroit on Friday for our Saturday event, but it will be open to all. Details to follow.
If you have never been to the Motorsports Hall of Fame, that, alone, is worth the trip. http://www.mshf.com/index.htm With the opportunity to spend an evening with Billy Kamphausen as part of the package this is an occasion you don't want to miss.
Feel free to circulate this invitation to anyone you think would be interested in joining us on January 10. Questions should be addressed to [email:3084nhkn]CCICFriends@yahoo.com[/email:3084nhkn].
