New Driving Events Planned for the Bloomington Gold 2015 Corvette Show

June 25th – 27th is slowly creeping closer and we’re currently just under 3 months away from Bloomington Gold 2015. With the show’s move to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it’s only natural that a full slate of driving events is planned for this year’s event. In addition to the traditional Gold Tour, Gold Autocross, and GM Test Drives attendees can now also take part in several other activities on the legendary Brickyard track as well.

There are 3 new driving events for 2015 which brings the total to 6 different opportunities to get inside a car during Bloomington Gold. The new events are Gold Laps, Gold Speed, and the Indy Driving Experience.

Gold Laps – The Gold Laps program allows those 18 and older to run 2 laps around IMS in your own Corvette at speeds up to 60mph. The cost for those 2 laps is $25. Those participating will need to check in at the show office before entering the track in order to complete all of the legal paperwork and pick up their credentials. You can reserve your track time now by clicking here.

Gold Speed – In this event you can experience the IMS road course in a Corvette driven by one of our friends from Spring Mountain Performance Driving School.

Indy Driving Experience – This event contains 2 parts. The first is the High Speed Indy Car Ride. Participants will don a fire suit, helmet, and gloves and ride shotgun in a 2 seat Indycar at speeds up to 180 mph. The cost for this two lap experience is $500 and you must be 18 years old, less than 6 feet 5 inches tall, and under 250 lbs. Click here to register.

The 2nd portion of the Indy Driving Experience is the Victory Lap. Here participants can take a victory lap around the 2.5 mile oval just like Foyt, Mears, or Earnhardt in an Indycar, NASCAR, or a Chevy Impala Event Car. Cost is $60 per ride and your top speed is around 60mph. This event is open to those 9 years old and above. To register for the Victory Lap, click here.

Bloomington Gold 2015 will take place Thursday June 25th through Saturday June 27th. The event will be taking over the entire IMS complex for the three day show. That includes the tracks, the garages, and even the golf course. We’ve already made our hotel arrangements. Have you made yours?
