> The Jefferson 500:
>
>
> The Jefferson 500 race weekend promises to be packed full of vintage
> racing and festivities. This year?s Grand Marshal is Brian Redman. The
> Jefferson 500 has evolved into one of the most respected vintage races in
> the Northeast. For the past 20 years, it has consistently fielded 200 plus
> vintage racers eager to bask in the excitement that the Summit Point
> Circuit provides with upwards of 8 race groups. Triumphs are the featured
> Marque for the weekend, feeling right at home on this curvilineal raceway.
> If you are a racer and want to take advantage of the FREE open practice day
> (Thursday, May 14th), register on or before April 18th

>
>
> The Peggy Kastner Award
>
>
> This one is new to the award list and promises to be the prize that all
