SPORTS CARS WEEKEND

Whether you drive a cherry ’67 Hemi Charger , built 2009 Mitsubishi Evolution X, or anything inbetween, Saturday June 27th stands to be a great day for sports car enthusiasts. Those who want to take their car out and beat the asphalt a little, the Detroit SCCA is holding their Spring Fling Solo event at the Palace of Auburn Hills and Bakers of Milford is hosting another car show; this time for a great charity.

Bakers of Milford Classics for the Cure Car Show – June 27, Milford Michigan

If you would rather check out some vintage and modern show cars, head to Bakers of Milford for their Classics for the Cure Car Show this Saturday from 10am to 2pm. All proceeds of this event go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, helping to raise funds to help fight breast cancer. Entry for classic cars is $15 at the gate the day of the show, and the first 100 vehicles will receive an event dash plaque. I plan to hit the show to cover it, but if you’re in the area on Saturday, stop by and help support the charity car show. If you haven’t been to Bakers, they do car shows like few other businesses in the Metro area and its well worth the drive from anywhere in Detroit!

Detroit Sports Car Club of America June 27 – Palace of Auburn Hills

If you want to test yourself and the abilities of your car, check out the Detroit SCCA site, where you can get full information for their event this Saturday. You don’t need a heavily modified race car to compete either, and if you are not familiar with the SCCA event layout, check out my coverage from the previous event by clicking here (including pictures of some of the competitors). From a Mazda Miata to a Noble M400 to a Ford Lightning, the field is more diverse than any other form of racing with both stock and modified vehicles.

This event was originally to be held at Belle Isle, but was moved to the Palace and rescheduled for this weekend. Registration opens at 8am and if it’s anything like the Belle Isle event, it will fill quickly so if you want to race your car in a safe, confined area, come on out to support the local SCCA group!
