MPG Members are invited to participate in the first annual San Marino Motor Classic Media Interaction Day on Saturday, August 23, 2025 from 12:00PM-4:00PM. (Please note the Art Expo and Sale will be held from 4:00PM-6:00PM. A wine and beer bar will be furnished along with snacks. Admission is free.)

The Media Interaction Day will provide Media Personalities of all types the opportunity to view many of the SMMC Exhibitor's cars easily as they park on Saturday.  The SMMC Media Interaction Day is incentive for Exhibitors to bring their cars to Lacy Park on Saturday as opposed to Sunday morning. Offering Media a rare look at many of the cars with out the hustle and bustle of Sunday morning and event day in general.

What to expect on Saturday:

1.    Early entry to Lacy Park with credentials. All will receive credentials at No Charge but please confirm with via email ASAP or at least one week prior to the event so we can have proper credentials for all when you check in at the Front Gate on Saturday August 23, 2025. As mentioned entrance is No Charge for Media, Photographers, Online Content Supporters, Personalities as well as Podcasters. What does this get you? Uncrowded and unrushed Exhibitors will be parking in their space for Sunday. Allowing you the opportunity of speaking with the Exhibitor and to photograph the car in an unfettered way without the massive Sunday crowds.

2.    Each entrant will stop as they enter the designated area for a free-of-charge digital photo. The Car and Owner will be identified to or by the photographer. The SMMC photographer will log the information. A digital photograph will be uploaded to the SMMC website for distribution to each entrant. Unlike previous years, there will not be a photograph print but the SMMC will actually send the Exhibitor the digital photograph that can be used by the Exhibitor in many ways.

3.    The SMMC will be providing Box Lunches for each Early Entrant Media Personality on Saturday Media Interaction Day - Free of Charge. There will be a tent for shade as well.

4.    Media will have much improved, dedicated and exclusive access with Owners cars, Car information and the Owners themselves. Not an easy task on Sunday, Show Day with all the other cars, Class Judging and the huge crowds.

5.    Designated area for Media Personality to take entrants for additional photographs and interview about the car, giving both Entrant and Media Personality an uncrowded space and time to discuss the car in more depth. Provides everyone with a better space, reducing photo bombing and other distractions that often occur with crowds on Sunday. 

6.    Designated Media Personality will be posting their photos, interviews and comments that evening and in the days after the SMMC for everyone to enjoy.

Please be advised the activities offered on Media Interaction Day will not be available at the San Marino Motor Classic on event day, Sunday, August 24, 2025.  

Time constraints may result in some cars not being engaged by the Media.

If you know you will be attending, or not, it would be great to have you RSVP this email ASAP or at least one week before the event so the SMMC can insure proper credentials and plan accordingly.

If you have any additional questions, concerns or needs please feel free to reach back out to us.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday, August 23, 2025 between 12pm - 4pm.
