This annual gathering celebrates the craftsmanship, simplicity, and driving spirit of the Porsche 356 and other early air-cooled Porsches.

Eligible Cars
Limited infield parking is open to original Porsche air-cooled cars 50 years and older, including Porsche 356, early 911, 912, and 914. 

Paddock Pass: $25
Upon arrival at Road America go to the office at the main gate to purchase a Paddock Parking Pass. Only 50 passes are available. The pass is good for all three days: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is required for paddock parking at Turn 5 and must be clearly displayed on your dashboard. From the RA office, enter the paddock and proceed to Turn 5.

Road America Track Map

The club tent and roped-off parking area will be on your right after going through the tunnel. Volunteers will be available to help park cars. Please have cars in place at Turn 5 by 10:00 a.m. each day. By mid-to-late morning, race traffic increases in the paddock area. Cars may leave during the day, but for safety, it is best to arrive or depart during an active race, when paddock road traffic is lighter.

Each attendee is also responsible for purchasing their own Road America admission ticket. Admission may be purchased online in advance or at the main gate. 

RSVP Required by July 7, 2026 Please RSVP by email to Andrew Opička at andrew@opicka.com.

Include your name, the car you plan to bring, and which days you plan to attend: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or all three days.
