   Wayne, at a minimum you could do Lunch time touring with your car! They say there is a maximum speed, and you can't pass the pace-car. However, if you do the touring on Friday when there are less cars on-track I can tell you the guy driving the Pace Car is having a good time and has no thoughts of whatever that max speed was supposed to be, LOL
Also, I think there is a practice day prior to the event that you could also do. My neighbor has raced in that event many times, I can get more info if you would like.

I'll make some inquiries with Road America and The historic TA group to try and verify if any of the AMC's will be there. Looks like the 71 Championship car is based out of Michigan, so a pretty good chances. 
At a minimum I will do a Friday cruise through the local windy roads with Any AMCers that wish to join, concluding with a lap of the original course that was on public roads, and a cookout on Saturday!
I'll get information on what hospitality facilities may be available If I get enough confirmations.

	Hmm..that sounds interesting. I may have to consider that. I would love to bring my car to Road America if only just to sit on the property. I will be in Colorado Springs because it is so close for me, but the idea of meeting at RA is pretty compelling.

	That would be cool. Planning on being there for the vintage racing already. My favorite spot is between turn 7&8 below the concession stand.

	As much as I want to go to Kenosha, nothing else will be worth going through Chicago.

	I also remember back in 1971 the Milwaukee and surrounding AMC dealers had a picnic in the parking lot 2 off of the main gate on corner 14 during the Trans Am race.

	I seem to remember a few years back there was a small group of AMC cars near the gate #4 entrance to R.A. off of county highway J. It is on track corner #3. I do not know if another group has laid claim to that area (Corvette club). Might be worth checking out

	Tremblant is a great track. One of my friends raced an Alfa there for many years. I really don't see any big events happening here for some time. It may be a bust for car shows again this summer.

	Well, it's up to you guys to put together an event up in Canada. The Penske/Donohue Javelin won there too at Circuit Mont-Tremblant, Quebec Second race win was August 2, 1970. The team won again the next year, August 1, 1971 the TA Championship season. Get to work on that

	This would be awesome, if the border was open and I had holidays at that time... :(
