\"\"<\/a>Watkins Glen International announced that it has teamed with Historic Motorsports Productions (HMP), a new vintage racing event promoter, to launch the inaugural HMP vintage racing and lifestyle event June 11-13, 2010. The event is billed as “Bobby Rahal’s Legends of Motorsports\u201d and is the first HMP event to be officially announced with additional 2010 vintage racing events due to be unveiled moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy hosting world class racing for many years, Watkins Glen International is a perfect host for vintage racing,\u201d said Michael Printup, president of Watkins Glen International. \u201cFor decades, Bobby Rahal has thrilled our fans behind the wheel of all kinds of race cars. It\u2019s an honor to now join with him in creating a great new event at our track.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Watkins Glen International to bring participants and the public a new era in vintage racing and automotive lifestyle,\u201d said Bobby Rahal, partner, Historic Motorsports Productions. \u201cAs a racer, any outing at The Glen is special because of the venue itself and its unique history in hosting legendary teams, drivers and cars. It\u2019s a privilege to have Watkins Glen International become the first premium venue to commit to an HMP event.\u201d<\/p>\n

HMP will invite a full complement of vintage racing cars and teams to legendary Watkins Glen International. 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; BOSS Cars and F5000. This is very similar to the type of line-up vintage racing fans have come to expect during the Watkins Glen Historics; the event that \u201cBobby Rahal\u2019s Legends of Motorsports\u201d will be replacing in 2010. Ticket prices for the weekend event will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an authentic international racing legend, Bobby Rahal is applying his knowledge and relationships to make the inaugural \u201cLegends of Motorsports\u201d weekend at Watkins Glen an instant vintage racing classic,\u201d said Zak Brown, partner, Historic Motorsports Productions. \u201cBobby is hands-on in fulfilling his vision of creatively featuring remarkable historic race cars and their passionate owners and drivers. And to do that in an event atmosphere and presentation style offering something for every family member.”<\/p>\n

Tickets for the entire 2010 season will go on sale to the general public (non-renewal customers) November 14, 2009. For more information, please contact the Watkins Glen International ticket office at 866-461-RACE (7223) or log on to the official website at www.TheGlen.com.<\/p>\n
