Scooter enthusiasts zoom into Indy

Scooter enthusiasts from across the country will be racing to Indianapolis June 11, 2015, for the largest gathering of vintage and modern scooters in the country. Indy Scooter Club (IndySC) and Vespa Club of America (VCOA) announce that Indianapolis will be the host city for Amerivespa 2015.

Members of IndySC submitted a proposal to host Amerivespa to VCOA in April 2014, with The Indianapolis Motor Speedway being the highlight of their bid. Participants will bring their scooters from cities and towns across the country for an opportunity to ride around the world-famous track.

Amerivespa is the Superbowl of our scooter community. Weill have about 600 attendees in town.” Chris Sublett, president of IndySC

Amerivespa will be in Indianapolis June 11-14, 2015. In addition to riding on the track, activities will include organized tours of the city, a vendor marketplace, evening hangouts, and a formal banquet. And no rally would be complete without gymkhana events when scooterists will show off their riding skills. Complete details, as well as registration, can be found at www.amerivespa.org as they become available.

A special thanks goes to the Town of Speedway and the dedicated employees and officials that are making Speedway, IN a second home during the event. They have made Main Street in Speedway the perfect backdrop to the Amerivespa activities.
