Known as the "Most Competitive in the U.S.," Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course is a 2.4-mile/15-turn or
2.25-mile/13-turn permanent road course. Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course was opened by Les Griebling in the
spring of 1962. The first event was a driver's training
school. Johnny Rutherford won the first CART race held
at Mid-Ohio on July 13, 1980, driving a
Chaparral-Cosworth.
In October, 1981, James R. Trueman purchased the
track. Some of the improvements he instituted were
amphitheater seating, paddock garages, and the
five-story Goodyear Tower housing media and two V.I.P.
suites. Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course encompasses a total
of 330 acres which includes the track, buildings and
parking areas. Mid-Ohio is the home of The Mid-Ohio
School which was established in 1993.
