MG Vintage Races at Infineon on Sat April 2
The MG Owners would like to
invite the NoBBC to join them on Saturday April
2, 2011 at the Infineon
raceway for the MG vintage races along with CSRG
racers. This includes a mid
day drive around the track for MGs. I've
included the following notice from
the MGOC for this event. Hope that many
of you can make it.
Andy
MGVR/CSRG
at Infineon Raceway April 1 - 3, 2011
So, do you want the electrifying
opportunity to watch MGs race around the
2.7 mile Infineon racetrack in
Sonoma? Want the chance to ride in a
race-prepared car at race speeds the same
day? How about the chance to drive
your own MG around the Infineon road course
in special MG parade laps during
the racers' lunch break? If any or all of
that sounds exciting to you, plan
to join fellow MGOC members on Saturday,
April 2, 2011 for a full day of
action.
As you have no doubt seen in previous
announcements, the MG Vintage Racers
(MGVR) is holding its 30th Anniversary
Focus Event along with the Classic
Sport Racing Group (CSRG) at Infineon the
first weekend of April. With MG
being the featured marque of the weekend, MGOC
has a full day planned and we
look forward to you all joining us.
The events
the MGOC are involved in take place on Saturday April 2, 2011.
The MGOC is
hosting a hospitality tent at the track, with special parking
arrangements for
those in MGs, and that all-important midday drive around
the track. For those
who have never had the chance to drive on a racetrack
this is a terrific
opportunity.
To participate, meet no later than 8:30am at the Port Sonoma
parking lot on
the eastbound side of California Rt. 37, a short distance from
U.S. Rt. 101.
>From there we will depart at 9:00am with Andy & Marla Preston
leading our
procession on the short drive to the track. After arriving, we'll
sign
waivers against claims, have our cars inspected before going on the track
later, and then sit down to enjoy the morning timed practices.
Timed
practices begin at 8:45am and end at 11:20am with a short break around
10:00am. Qualifying races for the various MGVR groups begin at 1:30pm and
continue until the track closes at 5:15pm.
The Charity Track Rides are
scheduled from 11:00am to noon. You can be a
passenger in one of the featured
racers with your donation for the ride
going to charity. The cost of those
rides starts at $50.00 and if you ask
anyone who has had the chance to do it
before, it is thrilling!!! If you
plan to take one of these Charity Rides you
must wear long pants and a long
sleeve shirt. Helmets are also required, and
loaners are available at the
track. Get in line early of you want to
experience the thrill of racing -
this is a very popular activity.
>From
approximately 12:20pm to 1:20pm you and your fellow MG owners and
drivers will
take parade laps around the track. These are meant to showcase
the MG marque
and it is a wonderful experience though racing and passing are
strictly
prohibited.
MGVR/CSRG have teamed with the Rotary Club of Central Marin in an
opportunity to raise funds for charitable activities. The cost, payable at
the
gate, is $25.00 per person with 60% of the revenue going to the Rotary
Foundation of Central Marin, 20% to Infineon Raceway's Speedway Children's
Charities, and the remaining 20% used to offset track and host organizations
costs.
This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy racing as it was years ago
with MGs
racing and winning notable international competitions, not to mention
the
track time in your own car and, for those you not faint of heart, race
speeds on the course.
We must give CSRG a count of attendees who will
participate in the midday
parade laps. For those inclined, please RSVP to Sam
Gearhart at
swg3@comcast.net.
We look forward to seeing you all there. Don't
forget to stop by the MGOC
Hospitality Tent and have a cup of coffee in the
morning when you arrive.
Sam Gearhart, President MGOC
