Carolina Motorsports Park - March 10 to 12, 2000 - Our 2000 season will
open at the new track in Kershaw, SC, just north of Camden, SC and 45 miles
south of Charlotte. The track is recently completed and should be a great
start for the new Millennium. VDCA will be the first vintage group to have an
event at this new track. All of our classes will be accommodated and an
endurance race is planned for all of you that have requested that one be
included. Peter Krause has driven the track, reports that it is really a fun
and challenging setup, and Peter will be on hand on the Thursday to do a
drivers school and orientation.
VIR- “The Homecoming” April 21-23, 2000 - VDCA will be the first vintage
group to have an event at the very impressive and recently refurbished track
just outside of Danville, VA. With the "homecoming" activities planned, this
could be the best race weekend for the 2000 season. Fellow racer Harvey
Siegel has taken the historic track in hand and has put his racing
experience to good use. The VDCA will use the entire 3.27 mile road course,
which has been widened and safety enhanced. The track was the scene of many
famous races in the past and operated from 1957 to 1974. One of the stated
aims of the VDCA is to limit the number of entries so that everyone gets
meaningful seat time. This may mean that we will have to turn away
applications as we will not mix groups, so please get your entry in early!
Roebling Road Savannah- May 12-14, 2000 - One of our favorite tracks will
host our Mayfest 2000 with the traditional parties and racing.
Moroso- West Palm Beach, Florida. July 28-30, 2000 - Our mid summer meet
will be at the challenging 2.5 mile road course at Moroso Motorsports Park
near West Palm Beach, Florida. We will keep you informed as to the special
events planned for this summer meeting.
Roebling Road - Savannah, GA. December 8-10, 2000 - We will return to this
user friendly track for the final event of the year. Jack and Vicki Abbott
have taken over the management of this track and improved it in every way.
Again the pig picking and champagne feast will be punctuated with great
racing and good fun. Don't miss it.
We plan to add another event for 2000, between the July Moroso event and the
December. Savannah Event.
