01 Jan 2019 Ignition Speed Festival recap
The Ignition Speed Festival presented by ACI Dynamix, was a motorsports celebration at Foxwoods Resort Casino with events taking place at MONZA World Class Karting, Great Cedar Garage and the Foxwoods Lot 10. The celebration featured a car meet hosted by Broke.East.Meet with a 3-hour endurance karting challenge and eSports tournament hosted by MONZA World Class Karting along with a high-performance autocross and Pro-Drifting demonstration presented by C.A.R.T. and Modified Machines. Spanning the entire Foxwoods Resort Casino property, the ISF offered several on-property opportunities with Foxwoods partners with benefits for event participants and spectators alike. Partners provided event specific offers from 8am-midnight with contributions from Hard Rock Café, Sugar Factory, Johnny Rocket’s, Shrine Night Club, Cedar’s, Atrium, Top Golf, Centrale, Stony Creek, High Flyer and The Neon Palm. Further, the ISF included sponsors/ partners with specific offers for event participants with offers from New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, Rockstar Energy and Skip Barber Racing School. To add to the festival and to validate the strength of the concept, the motorsports lifestyle and media machine brand HOONIGAN was included to live stream the entire festival.
The overall experience and feedback has been extremely positive and there is a large number of inquiries as to the date for the 2020 Ignition Speed Festival. The estimate is 975 participants took part in at least one of the 5 event offerings.
