2018 Vintage Races July 28th & 29th

Waterford Hills will again host Vintage Motor Car Racing in Clarkston, MI on July 28th & 29th, 2018.
Seeing the Vintage Race Cars on the track is Spectacular!
There is great racing, and lots of socializing !

Friday July 27th, 2018 is practice day, with a bit more relaxed environment, while drivers get ready for race day.  Track Orientation typically starts between 11:00 & 12:00.  Practice Sessions run until about 4:00 PM on Friday.
Come out and enjoy the great show during the last weekend in July !

Saturday and Sunday are race days and a modest admission price is required to enter the track, and an additional charge to get into the Paddock.
The public is welcome to come by and walk around the paddock and check out the equipment and talk to the racers and their crews.
Saturday qualifying (and Sunday racing) start at 10:00am. There are 5 different groupings of cars, and each group gets a 25 minute practice/qualifying session. Once these are completed, racing begins!
Each race group does a pace lap and a rolling green flag start.  Most races are 12 lap races. With each race group getting three races during the weekend, that's fifteen races!
We race rain or shine. We've even raced a few times in the snow. Thunderstorms will interrupt the action, but short of that, we take to the track for some of the greatest wheel to wheel racing you can see.
