Event Description

The Ultimate Vintage Racing Circus

The Classic Motorsports Mitty is, at its heart, a celebration of motorsports history. Meet motorsports superstars and watch some of the most legendary hardware from years past attack Road Atlanta's iconic turns. 

Porsche will be the featured marque at this year's event. And the event’s grand marshal will be a racer who is closely tied to the brand: Hurley Haywood. 

Haywood’s association with Porsche began more than 45 years ago; during that time he’s driven Porsches to victory five times at Daytona, three times at Le Mans, and twice at Sebring.

Speedfest at the Classic Motorsports Mitty Presented by Hagerty is more than just a full slate of HSR historic racing, too. It’s an automotive festival. Club corrals fill the Road Atlanta infield. Free test drives are available. Vendors offer amazing finds. Hospitality is available for all. The Classic Motorsports staff is on hand to provide a behind-the-scenes look at legendary cars. And the grand marshal isn’t whisked from motorhome to motorhome, as he’ll be palling around with other race fans all weekend.

At most big-time races, when the cars come off the track, they're hidden away. That's not how things operate at the Mitty. Want a close-up look at a Porsche 911 RSR, an Audi R8 or a BMW Batmobile? Prepare to have your senses overwhelmed.

Judging the Survivor By Mike Thies

Judging the Survivor

By Mike Thies

Sooner or later every judge faces this class. A freshly restored car with flawless paint sits next to an original car with faded lacquer, a worn driver's seat, and sixty years of honest use on it. Both owners did right by their cars. The job is to score them so neither one is punished for the choice its owner made.

Both deserve respect. A great restoration takes skill, money, and years of work. A true survivor can never be made again…

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28 by Mike Thies

A Bite of History: Unicorn Restorations, the 1974 Camaro Z28

by Mike Thies

At any good car show, you will find 1957 Chevys in every form: survivors, frame-off restorations, and restomods. What you will rarely find is a 1958. That tells you something about the collector market. Not every year of a popular model becomes a true collectible. Buyers pick favorites, and those years get saved, restored, and passed down, while the years next to them…
