2024 OHTM Great Race Stop

THIS YEAR ONLY – The GREAT RACE speeds into Owls Head Transportation Museum on June 29th!

Don’t miss your chance to meet and mingle with the larger-than-life characters of the global auto-enthusiast community!

See over 140 rare vintage and custom vehicles at OHTM as they make a pit-stop along the 2,300 mile race from Owensboro, Kentucky, to Maine! Serving as the final dinner stop, OHTM will host teams from around the world with over 500 people in the Great Race entourage. 

OHTM Great Race kick-off begins at 12 Noon with opening ceremonies at 3:45PM. Celebrate seasoned and rookie teams as they cross the end-of-day finish line at 4:00PM, plus give a warm welcome to the 7 Maine teams, including our very own Ron Quebec (OHTM's NEAA and Events) and James Kalian (OHTM's new Curator)! Cars and drivers will be at the museum until 7PM–then they will leave for their last day on June 30th.
