The Austin-Healey Club is invited to CSRG’s Charity Challenge Vintage Racing Weekend
 Here’s a chance for Austin-Healey Club members to take a ride in a vintage race car at speed on Infineon Raceway as well as the opportunity
to driver your Austin-Healey on the track.
On October 2-3, the Classic Sport Racing Group (CSRG) is holding the 7th Annual Charity Challenge vintage car racing event at Infineon Raceway.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Speedway Childrens’ Charities of Sonoma. CSRG members have donated over $600,000 to this worth cause since the Charity Challenge began in 2003. Fan activities also include raffles and a race gear sales center, in addition to the race car rides and track driving opportunities.
This event usually draws in excess of 200 vintage race cars of all types, and attendees can view the cars up close in the paddock and talk to the drivers. The featured run groups this year will be Historic 3-liter F1 cars from the Historic Grand Prix Group, and invited Formula Atlantic cars. Practice is on Friday, with racing on Saturday and Sunday.
There is also a special offer with extra benefits for members of the Austin-Healey Club who would like to drive to the race in Austin-Healeys. This offer includes:
• Specially priced advance tickets at $20 per person compared to $25 at the gate. Club members driving Austin-Healeys can also get the advanced price at the gate with a club ID or a copy of this invitation.
• Premier Parking in the Paddock Car Club Corral.
• On-track parade laps during lunch time for the first 100 drivers who sign up on Saturday and Sunday morning. The parades will be limited to sports cars built before 1973.
• Free commemorative event poster.
• Priority sign-up for Charity Ride-Arounds in race cars (these always sell out quickly for the most exciting cars). Clubs will be sent a roster of available “ride-around” cars approximately one week before the event, and members
can reserve a spot via e-mail to me.
If you are interested in this special offer, please contact me at editorgary_at_aol.com to have your name added to the advance ticket list, or come out in your Austin-Healey on Saturday or Sunday, Oct. 2 or 3.
Thank you and I hope to see you at the CSRG Charity Challenge.
