Any chance I.R.O.C. could ever happen again???

Dan1028 · 03-03-2009, 07:30 PM

I would say probably not. IROC would need to license the name to GM for their use. I think that's what killed all future IROC edition Camaros in the past.

God I hope so.... Hopefully they will make a production version also. I have had 2 of them before and would most definately get another.

In 2007, IROC could not find a sponsor and postponed the first two races at Daytona and Texas.[1] IROC went on hiatus for 2007 hoping to return with sponsor in 2008. In March 2008, IROC auctioned off its tools, equipment, cars, and memorabilia, and went out of business.

I'd say unless someone restarts the company, most likely not.

Iroczlover · 03-03-2009, 08:23 PM

as Skip said unless something happens there will never be another IROC again.

International Race Of Champions baby! Those were the days.

people used to call it -

Italian Retards Out Cruising lol

I remember Dale Earnhardt's last IROC, the weekend he died in a crash......He saved that IROC car after being hit by an open wheel racer....Ironic and tragic at the same time. I'll never forget it.

LarkVille · 03-03-2009, 09:14 PM

I'd bet that GM would like to distance themselves from their IROC days.

Wow I didn't know that.

Prior to the Camaro, a 1974 IROC race.

Red Hot SS · 03-03-2009, 10:48 PM

IROC was the same as the Z28 with a dumb hood and a decal package...and some suspension

Camarino · 03-03-2009, 10:53 PM

First the IROC then.........The mullet....we'd be going backwards!!! lol jk
the International Race Of Champions was only unique to the 80's/90's years of the Camaro not really what this Camaro is modeled after, and as was previously mentioned they'd have to get the rights again
