Are Other Power Driven Mobility Devices (OPDMD) allowed at this event?

MiRPA has determined that due to the unique operational characteristics along with the rough and uneven terrain of this venue, and in the interest of the safety and security of all attendees and show cars, the use of OPDMD by attendees will not be allowed.

Other OPDMD info required?

This event is focused on the co-existence of high-volume pedestrian traffic, multiple forms of vehicular traffic and static display of high-value vehicles. Introducing the use by attendees of OPDMD into this mix would adversely affect MIRPA’s commitment to the safety and security of all attendees

Are there sponsorship opportunities available?

The Meadowdale, Motorsports & Memories event is a perfect opportunity for your company to reach a qualified target audience. Contact us at (847) 421-2891 for details on how your company will benefit from their visibility at this unique motorsports and community extravaganza.
