10th Annual Panamerican
Nationals
Atco Raceway New Jersey
July 19-20, 2003
Welcome to the biggest Import event of the year, the classic Panamerican
Nationals USA vs Puerto Rico battle. Each year the battle resides
at Atco Raceway New Jersey and the race park fills up quickly.
This is a time when every seat and every parking space at Atco race park
becomes taken so coming early for Panamerican Nationals is a good idea
in order to get a good birds eye view of the action.
If you love the loud sound of a rotory engine at 1200 RPM with out
a muffler, this is where you wanted to be. Panamerican brings the
classic Piston vs Rotary crowd together and the cars are made of different
styles with up to date technology. The Toyota Starlet/ Corolla and
Mazda RX?/RX7 is 98% race car of choice for this classic event.....
