    Visiting family in NW Ohio, looking for recommendations.

    Went to the Ford Museum a couple years back, and might try it again.

    Is there anything to see at MIS on a non race weekend (NASCAR isn't a big interest)?

    Wondering if there are any other less well known recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for pointing this out. Any Ferrari or sports cars entered in this? Can't find an entry list.

    The local Dealer will have a nice display of new Ferraris as well as a class of 4 2021 Ferrari Monzas. There's also an Enzo, a Dino 246 GT and LaFerrari expected to be on display as well as a couple of others.

    Well, we made it to the Concours America on Saturday morning for the big cars and coffee field, then went up to Waterford Hills and enjoyed some historic racing (even did some parade laps in the family wagon, which my son really enjoyed) and great conversation with the competitors. Then we went back for the actual Concours event on Sunday. A really great weekend seeing and hearing so many cars of all eras, including Ferraris (Cauley had a strong presence), show cars that I'd only seen in magazines as a kid, and lots of friendly talkative enthusiasts. Feeling very blessed with the outcome. Thanks F'chatters for your helpful suggestions!

    My wife and I were at Waterford Hills on Friday, to help with 'newcomer' track Instruction and then to work Grid for the balance of the day.

    I'm glad you were able to hit the Vintage racing there in addition to the St. John's Concours activities.

    We were back at St. John's for the full day on Sunday, and the quality and quantity of vehicles there was truly a sight to behold.......as well as the fun of bumping into several old friends along the way.

    My son was at the Concours as he was representing the Ferrari that won best in class & show the 53 Ferrari 250MM race car.
    The car was also being displayed at Cauley, hope you got to see it. Apparently it is a special car.
