[COVERAGE] MPACT Motorsports Festival – 10 Years
August 13th, 2020 by Elusive MediaMPACT East has officially turned double digits! MPACT Motorsport Festival and Car Show takes place in the Pocono Mountains at the iconic Pocono Speedway. It is August and it’s officially my first event of the summer! Yes, Covid-19 had cancelled all my previous events, but thankfully as the summer continued, rules allowed for outdoor venues to open, and the speedway was the perfect place to space everyone out! For a quick history lesson, MPACT started in 2011 and the first 3 years were located downtown Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland. It was also a show where you could also run your car, not just park it. Taking place at the M&T Bank Stadium parking lot, half the lot was show and the other half was setup for Auto-X. In 2014 the show moved to the Pocono Mountains at the 2.5 mile Pocono Raceway. In my eyes this is when the show really became the Festival as we know it today. Drifting, Multiple track configurations with NASA HPDE, 1800′ Roll Racing, burnout, and of course a Judged Car Show. And don’t forget the fantastic drive to the raceway, 2hours from Philadelphia and New York City. Many caravans to join in on the drive up! Now Back to 2020, This year is number 10! And with Covid still keeping many restrictions, this was the first event for many people to attend. By early afternoon, there were drivers waiting hours to get in! But once you filled out your covid and safety form, you were greeted with those sweet engine noises, that we all missed as you came out of the Pocono Raceway Tunnel. Fantastic work from the MPACT team for pulling off this event during the extra challenging times. I’m happy to say I’ve been to all 10 and looking forward to see what they have planned for the future!
Be sure to check out the last 10years!

But then you can take the opportunity to sit back relax and watch the cars queue up for track or grab a seat to watch the high speed runs fly by!

[COVERAGE] MPACT 2018 Motorsports Festival and Car Show
August 14th, 2018 by Elusive MediaMPACT Motorsports Festival and Car show is exactly as it sounds! A collection of what car fans love about motorsports and a show warped around it! Track Day with HPDE, the front straight of Pocono Raceway for rolling racing, drifting ride alongs, and a lot closed off to show off a bit to the crowd, aka some burnouts/drifting around a 1000RR! Like most shows this year, weather played a big part of the day. The forecast wasn’t in our favor, but with Bimmerfest not happening this year, and with MPACT being rain or shine, anyone with a BMW had to make the venture up to the Pocono Mountains. Anyone that did make the journey was not disappointed by quality of cars and vendors that showed. I personally love to pick up maintenance parts and cleaning supplies at MPACT each year. With the heavy down pours in the afternoon, some decided to pack it in early, and most ran for cover in the paddock(get to know your fellow enthusiast!), but a few wanted to “soak” up the experience in the rain! The music kept going, the storm eventually passed and the event continued! Enjoy these wet and fun photos!

[COVERAGE] MPACT 2017 Motorsports Festival and Car Show
August 22nd, 2017 by Elusive MediaMPACT returns to the famous Pocono Raceway for packed day of motorsport activities and a place to show off your latest build in the paddock. This unique event not only attracts the hottest ///M cars, but many exotics and high powered track day cars! High Performance Driver Education(HPDE) was there all day for drivers that signed up. National Auto Sport Association(NASA) had everything from beginner to expect levels so you can truly enjoy your car. If you wanted to check out your top speed, the 1800′ side by side rolling race is a huge crowed pleaser with one driving breaking the 200mph mark!! Drivers who signed up for this could roll race all day! Though if you weren’t ready to take your car to the track, you were able to take a ride with Sarli Motorsports Drift Taxi; S62 supercharged engine and sliding sideways is pretty exhilarating! On the opposite end, if you came to abuse your set of rear tires, the crowd judged burnout content is a great place for it. For myself, I didn’t get a chance to partake in any of the events with my car, but i did thoroughly enjoyed playing the MPACT Sim Racing Experience by Crimon Simulation; the setup everyone wishes they had at home! To break up all these activities throughout the day, i always like to visit the vendors (for the show discounts of course) and browse through the paddock to see which new cars showed up. While talking to car owners(new attendees) in the paddock, there was one common thing they all said, “I can’t wait to come back next year! It was such a good time!”. i love hearing that MPACT continues to grow and bring more car enthusiast together. Onto many more years of successful for the MPACT team!

[COVERAGE] MPACT 2015 Motorsports Festival and Car Show
July 17th, 2015 by Elusive MediaWe all lucked out with a picturesque drive into the Poconos mountains with temperatures in the lower 80s and sunny. This summer has seen a lot of rain so far, so everyone was super stoked to have a rain free event. This is the 2nd year at Pocono Raceway and MPACT separates itself from any other event by combining what we all love, motorsports and car shows. Rolling Race on the tri-oval, HPDE on the inside tracks, Dyno, drifting with a drift taxi, and the burnout contents kept car enthusiast’s busy between checking out vendors and cars. Before the day came to a close, awards were given out the car show, rolling race, & Dyno HP shootout winners along with some bragging rights.
Huge congrats to the MPACT team for another fantastic event!!
