Dragginwagon467 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 *Not an official FGMCC Event* The dates for the 4th Annual First-Gen Monte Carlo Takeover at Summit Motorsports Park’s 24th Annual Blue Suede Cruise, have been set for July 25-27, 2025. Bill Bader has already agreed to provide us the same location near the grand stands for next year. This is a prime location in regards to fun runs and watching the races from the stands. Saturday, July 26th will be the main day for the First-Gen Monte Carlo Takeover. The show schedule has not been announced but generally, gates open at 7:00 AM each day and fun runs begin directly after. Staging lanes open once again around 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM. Last year, nearly all the Montes went down the track for a photo-opportunity, but there’s no pressure and plenty to do if you do not chose to race.
