Skip Barber Racing School today announced its 2010 Summer Race Series schedule, which features both the addition of an eighth Race Weekend and the return of two popular venues from the past; Grattan Raceway in Michigan and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Grattan returns to the schedule for the first time in nine years while Mid-Ohio makes its first appearance since 2007.

“Mid-Ohio and Grattan are two tracks that were popular with Race Series drivers but for one reason or another fell off our schedule over the years,” said Todd Snyder, VP of Competition at Skip Barber Racing School. “Returning to these tracks this summer will not only be welcomed by our series veterans but will also provide new challenges to some of our more recent additions to the Race Series.”
