OPEN TO ALL MAKES! Not just Mustangs!
The Mustang Club of America is pleased to offer a two day event featuring a 250 car MCA judged show and two days driving at the newest Pro-Level track in the US. Ozarks International Raceway is nearly 4 miles long and has nearly 1,200 feet of elevation change! The track is located approximately 20 minutes from Osage Beach, Missouri on the Lake of the Ozarks. This is a destination resort area so lots of things to do and see in addition to driving on one of the newest venues in the US. Please join us at Ozarks International Raceway in Gravois Mills, Missouri for the best bargain in High Performance Driving Education. The weather should be great and we are limiting run group size and maximizing track time. You will be on track 4-5 times each day for 20 - 30 minutes each. The current track schedule is available below and we recommend that your print out and bring with you to the event.
