The addition money that is up for grabs further increases the prestige of the race category and celebration during the NMCA national event. The COPO Camaro Shootout starts on Thursday, August 22, as competitors roll into Summit Motorsports Park and are parked in pre-reserved, up-front paved pits. Racers will be treated to a Test & Tune followed by a Racer Appreciation Happy Hour & Ice Cream Social featuring Norwalk's iconic 1 lb. scoops of ice cream!
