The 2nd weekend in October marks the running of the 4th CSRG CHARITY CHALLENGE at Infineon Raceway. Appearing along with the myriad of exciting CSRG participants will be the cars of the Historic Grand Prix Group, the historic NASCAR Group and Formula Junior.

This CHARITY CHALLENGE weekend is a great opportunity for CSRG and all of its friends to again contribute to a great cause – the needy children of Sonoma County. Through Speedway Children’s Charities we have been able to donate $256K in the last three years to the needy children of Sonoma County. All of the receipts from the ticket sales, track ride-arounds, Friday night dinner, and live and silent auctions will again be donated directly to the Speedway Children’s Charities. Our goal is to reach or exceed our donation of last year, so please come out and help us make that goal a reality.

Friday, October 12th

Tech inspection – We will conduct our usual roving tech inspection from noon until 4 p.m. Tech your car on Friday; it means less anxiety and drama on Saturday. Limited practice time will be available from 1p.m.-6p.m. on Friday for an additional fee by pre-registration.

This year’s Friday Dinner has been changed to a casual affair to be held at Arturo Keller’s fantastic, private automotive museum in Sonoma. In addition to the fabulous cars, the legendary Parnelli Jones, will be our guest speaker, and we will have a live auction of numerous items of automobilia, art, wine, hotel getaways, etc. Due to the very limited space of this venue, we recommend that you respond early.
(See detailed information below)

Saturday & Sunday, October 13/14th

Vintage Racing – Both days will feature practice and racing by group. The final schedule will be mailed along with your acceptance letter.

Charity Ride-arounds – We are working to make this segment of the event even more successful than last year’s. The entire $75-100 donation from the 3-lap ride-arounds will go to charity. If this is something you would like to be a part of by giving rides, please check the box on the entry form. Cars are required to have a second seat and proper belts. All drivers in the charity ride-around must be fully entered as a driver for the weekend and wear full safety gear while on the track. All passengers must be properly belted in and have approved helmets and eye protection. Due to track policy, children under the age of 16 are not allowed on the track.

Saturday Paddock Party for all entrants and their crew – Saturday, following the last event of the day, CSRG and Infineon will host a party for all drivers and crew in the paddock. If you would care to contribute to help enhance the celebration or defray expenses, please let us know.

IMPORTANT!

Dear fellow Vintage racing enthusiast:

On Friday, October 12th in an effort to further the momentum of last year’s donation of $84K to the Sonoma County chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities, CSRG will host a $250-a-plate dinner at Arturo Keller’s fabulous automotive collection located at Keller Estate Winery in Sonoma. This once in a lifetime opportunity will be further enhanced by our guest speaker, Indy-winner and racing legend, Parnelli Jones.

Your evening will begin with a viewing of the collection followed by a spectacular meal. In addition, we will auction off a limited number of rare and unusual items, as well as automobilia, hotel getaways, and other exciting items, to benefit the Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children’s Charities. (See details below)

Please join us at this fun event and help us follow through on our pledge to the needy children of Sonoma County. If you require any additional information or would like to help in some other way, please feel free to contact us at: CSRG 925.736.2823 or at info@csrgracing.org.

We thank you for your support!

Dear CSRG Member:

By now you are aware of our success with the CSRG CHARITY CHALLENGE. Through the efforts of many generous people over the last three years, we have been able to donate over $256,000 to the Sonoma Chapter of the SPEEDWAY CHILDREN’S CHARITIES. In addition to making it a fun, weekend for CSRG vintage racers, their families and their friends, we were able to make a difference in the lives of many of the needy children of Sonoma County.

To continue the tradition, we need your help. Besides participating in the event, we would like to ask for your generosity in another area. On Friday, Oct. 12th we will hold a dinner and live auction with guest speaker, Indy legend Parnelli Jones and on Saturday, October 13th, a silent auction at the track. Please take the time to look around your den, office, garage or automobilia collection for that special something that you could contribute to the auctions.

What are we looking for? Almost any item of automobilia, photography, artwork, golf package, weekend getaway, case of wine, jewelry or book, etc. that other gearheads or their wives might be anxiously waiting to bid on. In addition, if your business can donate an item or worthy service, etc., or you have friends who might be willing to donate, please let them know about this worthy cause.

Please fill out the enclosed form and return by mail by Friday, September 21st to ensure that your item can be included in the auction catalog.

If you don’t have a suitable item to donate, a check made out to the Speedway Children’s Charities can also help us realize our goal. Remember, all of the proceeds from this auction will go directly to the children. All checks should be made out to the Speedway Children’s Charities, which is donating all of its administrative efforts to make this needy children’s benefit a 100% success.

Best regards, and thank you for your help, we appreciate it.
