This VRG vintage racing event has been held since 2005 as a holiday and VRG season celebration. VRG was founded in 2004 to provide the enjoyment and safety of racing vintage and historic cars. Friendly, safe competition and respect for the history of the cars is emphasized. The club’s events are known for liberal on-track events.
VRG members and guest racers will enjoy both a practice and race session for each of 5 groups on Friday. On Saturday there are two on-track sessions for each of the groups, plus three combined group special Festival Races. Sunday has two on-track sessions for each of the 5 groups.
To add to the celebration, there is a Saturday wine, cheese and awards event just after the last o-track session, about 5 pm.
VRG always invites VMC member club racers to join in the fun.
