Nice article by Mary Lendzion from Summit Motorsports Park.

The 34th Annual Ames Performance Pontiac Nationals was an awesome event. It was nostalgic for some guests, and new for other guests, but all made memories.

Thursday, July 17
8 a.m.: Swap meet vendors will move in via the State Route 601 Ohio CAT Gate. We will credential and park swap meet vendors as quickly as possible.
3 p.m.: Race cars will move in via the State Route 601 Ohio CAT Gate and immediately park. Once parked, racers and crew can go underneath the Ohio CAT Grandstands to purchase credentials.
NOTE: There is no overnight holding lot.
