\"\"<\/a>Historic Motorsports Productions (HMP) hired Vicki O\u2019Connor as the Vice President of Operations for its Legends of Motorsports Series. O\u2019Connor has previously served in a similar role for the Atlantics Championship Series and will now be responsible for day-to-day management of the Legends series, as well as serving as a primary liaison to tracks and participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the pleasure of knowing Vicki for many years and respect her talent and dedication immensely,\u201d said HMP partner Bobby Rahal. \u201cI\u2019m confident she will make an immediate and outstanding contribution to our venture.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connor is a long-time motorsports executive, and most recently operated the Atlantic Championship, a post she held from 1985 through the 2009 season before joining HMP. She led the Atlantic Championship through its most commercially successful time with series partners Toyota and Yokohama, and later Mazda and Cooper Tire. She earned what she refers to as her \u201cPh.D. in motorsports\u201d while working for noted team owner and race car importer Carl Haas, a job that lasted 12 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly delighted to join Bobby Rahal, Zak Brown and Peter Stoneberg in Historic Motorsports Productions,\u201d said O\u2019Connor. \u201cVintage Racing is truly a magical form of motorsports, and I look forward to visiting the stellar race circuits on the \u201cLegends of Motorsports\u201d tour. While the cars are fantastic, so are the participants themselves and I look forward to making new friends and renewing old acquaintances.\u201d<\/p>\n

HMP will manage and stage an annual series of premium vintage racing events and related lifestyle experiences at several historic North American racing venues. To date, three 2010 HMP-promoted events have been announced all under the \u201cBobby Rahal\u2019s Legends of Motorsports\u201d banner and include Alabama\u2019s Barber Motorsports Park<\/a> on May 20-23, New York\u2019s Watkins Glen International <\/a>on June 11-13 and at Canada\u2019s Circuit Mont-Tremblant<\/a> on July 10-12, 2010.<\/p>\n

The races hosted by HMP will include a full complement of the most prestigious vintage racing cars and classes. These include GTP\/Group C; 3.0 Liter era Formula One; F.I.A. Championship of Makes; 2.0 Liter Sports Racers; Trans-Am; Can-Am; NASCAR; IMSA GT\/Production Cars; Formula Libre and F5000.<\/p>\n

Along with vintage races, HMP will organize and promote vintage lifestyle automotive lifestyle events, including local parades of race cars, vintage period fashion, food and wine festivals, concerts, auctions and Concours d\u2019Elegance events. The events will be positioned consistent with the demographics and lifestyle of the participants and the public.<\/p>\n
