The focus moves to the track Friday and Saturday with high-speed runs featuring classics and state-of-the-art cyborgs. A Can Am Kick Off reception, open to the public, will follow. The American Speed Festival will kick off on Thursday, September 30, with an exclusive “Dine and Drive” through the streets of Metro Detroit for behind the scenes peeks at the Motor City’s historic haunts. George Levy, president of the Motorsport Hall of Fame of America and Hall's authorized biographer, added that, to “car crazy kids like me in the 1960s, Jim Hall was the Neil Armstrong of motorsports.”
“What’s so important about having the Can Am cars here and honoring Jim Hall is that it fits right in with how we want to showcase innovation in racing and the automotive world,” said Tim Hartge, chief marketing officer of PME. “Jim is truly legendary for the advancements he made to racing in terms of aerodynamics and engineering advancements.”
