This has become a crown jewel weekend for racer’s and fans throughout the region and this season, Race of Champions management is taking it one step further by offering traveler’s “free” onsite camping for the weekend with the purchase of a ticket for the events at Lake Erie Speedway. If you are camping there will be a small fee that includes the following – the use of “the waste station”, garbage cleanup and security. This maintains and protects the property. Race of Champions management is currently seeking a sponsor to cover these costs to eliminate this cost from attendees and will announce anything as soon as possible.
