Many of these Members will be part of a celebration luncheon in the ATC Directors Room as well as in a special photo moment during the day trackside.
All ATC Members attending on Saturday are invited to be part of a group photo in the mounting yard prior to the running of Race 1 (The Thank You ATC Members Handicap).
