About this event
Join the SBR SCCA 2014 Winter Expedition
We have opened up this trip to other non-members and friends of the SBR SCCA! This is a "SBR Member's Only" event. Each member may bring one immediate family member as a guest. Other non-member guests may be added if we have room on the bus. The bus trip is limited to the first 56 people preregistered. We are getting a group discount ticket rate for the museum so you must preregister and prepay on MotorsportReg.com for the museum tickets and optional 1 hour museum guided tour (limited to first 50 people). The assembly plant tour is also optional and you can purchase tickets for the plant tour at the museum after you arrive.
Lunch is available at the museum. Members will cover their own lunch and dinner costs on this trip.

As part of the region's continuing efforts to reward its members, the South Bend Region SCCA is offering a winter day trip to the Henry Ford Museum and Ford Rouge Assembly Plant in Dearborn, MI on Saturday February 15th, 2014. Best of all, South Bend Region SCCA is covering all charter bus expenses!
Henry Ford Museum is an impressive place – 12 acres under a single roof – filled with tens of thousands of artifacts, every one of them with a tale to tell about America’s passion for innovation. There’s R. Buckminster Fuller’s head-turning Dymaxion House, the Rosa Parks Bus, the Kennedy Limousine, the 600-ton Allegheny locomotive, even the 1952 Oscar Mayer Wienermobile™.
