Arie won the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1989, co-driving a Nissan GTP with Geoff Brabham and Chip Robinson and backed up his sports car racing credentials with a popular victory in the 1998 24 Hours of Daytona, sharing the winning MOMO Ferrari 333SP with Gianpiero Moretti, Didier Theys and Mauro Baldi. Arie has also been invited to represent IndyCar racing in the International Race of Champions (IROC) series on several occasions:

This looks really cool.

[Low Impedance]

i want to go, but the link doesnt work...?

[Chris Swearingen]

Fixed the link, sorry guys.

[Low Impedance]

what info on the rallying will be presented?

[Clay Turner]

Ken Cashion of the SCCA Rally program will have a presence at the convention, but I don't know what the content will be. If there's something you'd like to hear, post your suggestions and we'll pass 'em on. Thanks!

See you guys at the convention and Solo!

Wow, this sounds great! IMO the price is worth it just for a ride around HPR. Will register ASAP...

Edit: Wait, I'm confused...if the event is in CO Springs, how can they be giving rides around HPR?

[Chris Swearingen]

Clay can correct me if I am wrong, but I think the "[font="]exclusive first-ever, turn-by-turn co-drive, with a professional driver, on Colorado's newest racetrack" is video from Arie running HPR in a Z06 or ZR1.

[Ranger]

Wow, that's deceptive...regardless of having a pro narrate, watching a video is not exactly being put in a car Probably still worth it though. I want to get an SCCA membership anyway.

I might like to do an autocross event, but I'm not sure if I'll have a car to take. Both are currently out of commission. However my 944 might be running by then, so we'll see. I like driving road courses better anyway Are there going to be any PDX or Time Trial events at PPIR next year? At any rate, I think I will make the trip down there for the convention. And I agree, we should all meet up and cruise down there together...
