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.
