We have received an incredible number of requests for updates about Exotics on Scioto Mile.

Normally, the event takes place this coming weekend, and we were hopeful that we could bring it back this year after missing 2020 due to COVID.

This event requires substantial planning, including coordination with car owners, street closures and permits from the City, food trucks, Milestone 229, police/security, volunteers, sponsors and partners, etc. We usually begin this process 3-4 months prior to the event, but that wasn't possible this time since nobody knew if/when events would be allowed this year.

As a result, we're rallying around returning to the bridge in June 2022, but we will not be doing the event this year. We're disappointed, but we would not do this event without first doing the prep work to make it a great, safe, fun experience.

We are also building an all-new classics / collectible car show in homage to the recently discontinued Rally for The Ranch event. We will announce those plans ASAP.
​
Thank you for your passionate support for Exotics on Scioto Mile. We love it too, and we can't wait to do it again.

You can see the rest of our schedule here.

We want to thank the entire team at Cherry Valley Hotel for making it possible to host a Cars and Coffee meet at their fantastic facility!

Although the weather did not cooperate, we made use of the indoor event center to keep the party going, and the results were a fun Saturday morning of cars, coffee, and community as we supported Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Our special guest from Make-A-Wish, Patrick, selected two of his favorite cars for special honors, a highlight of the day!

Thanks to Adam Koos from Libertas Wealth Management, we were able to take a group of racing fans up to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the IMSA race over the weekend!

The morning started with coffee, bagels, and registration at Adam's office in Upper Arlington, followed by a spirited drive up to the track. We were able to park together in the infield a short walk from our hospitality area; the Mid-Ohio Deck!

The Deck has fantastic elevated views of the "Esses," a pair of corners where a lot of the best racing action takes place at Mid-Ohio. 

The MX5 Cup series ran first, followed by a catered lunch and included bar, and culminating with the main event, the Acura Sports Car Challenge.

Thanks to everyone who joined us. We expect to take a much bigger group next year since gathering restrictions will be fully lifted!
