Among the traditional events in the track’s 2006 lineup will be the American Le Mans at Mid-Ohio (May 19-21), the EMCO Gears Classic, featuring the Rolex Sports Car Series, and the Unlimited Audio Accessories Triple Crown Tuner Challenge (June 23-25), and the Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire (Aug. 4-6), one of the most popular stops on the AMA Superbike tour. Also on the schedule will be two longstanding events for vintage racing enthusiasts. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days (July 28-30) will feature a host of classic motorcycling events and competitions, while the Vintage Grand Prix of Mid-Ohio (Aug. 18-20) will bring 50 years of auto racing history to the track, including the annual Concours d’Elegance and British Car Showdown. “Every year our goal is to bring together the best collection of motorsports events possible for our spectators, our sponsors and our business,” said Michelle Trueman Gajoch, president of TrueSports, Inc., owner and operator of Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. “We feel we’ve done that for 2006 with the return of the American Le Mans Series, Grand American and the AMA Superbikes, as well as the addition of two new events and the continued growth of our other races. We’re looking forward to another exciting season.” The modern sports car marvels of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) will be the featured attraction during the American Le Mans at Mid-Ohio. The Mid-Ohio round once again will be the series’ last race before its teams head to France for the world famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The three-day event also will feature a Grand-Am Cup race for compact sports cars and the Unlimited Audio Accessories Triple Crown Tuner Challenge, which includes an import tuner car show. The two wheelers get a temporary change of traditional dates in 2006, with AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days and the Honda Super Cycle Weekend presented by Dunlop Tire moving to back-to-back weekends in late July and early August.

Setting yet another record, Carmichael is the only rider to have won Athlete of the Year four times. In accepting the award RC thanked his team, sponsors and complimented his fellow competitors. “It was a great night of celebration,” said AMA Pro Racing Vice President and Director of Communications Kerry Graeber. “It was nice to honor Ricky Carmichael as AMA Pro Racing SPEED Channel Athlete of the Year. Ricky had a remarkable season and added to his already solid legacy among the greatest riders in the history of AMA racing. It was also a real thrill to make the Toyota announcement. We look forward to a successful relationship with them and hope to push AMA Motocross to even higher levels of recognition.” Others honored on Sunday night included the 2005 AMA Pro Racing Rookies of the Year.
