A
VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES OUT TO OUR VERY GENEROUS 2008
DOOR PRIZE CONTRIBUTORS AND EVERYONE WHO WORKS SO HARD TO SECURE
THESE CONTRIBUTIONS.
THANK YOU.
Vintage
Celebration ("Vic Yerardi Memorial") is the largest
on track Vintage oval race car event in the US.
Eligible
Vintage cars include: Midget, Sprints, Champ cars, Indy cars and
Stock cars
The
event was the brainchild of Bob
Bahre, the former track owner, and the late Vic Yerardi, a
huge supporter of the Vintage Car movement.
The
event name was changed after Vic Yerardi, (photo
1), (photo 2),
(photo 3), passed
away in 1991. It is now known as the "Vic Yerardi Memorial".

Cars
travel from as far away as California and Florida to participate
in the event.
The
2008 event has been extended by 1 full day. The event will
start the morning of May 13th to 5 pm on the 15th.

neighbors about this very special one of a kind event. If you

This
is definitely the largest gathering of Vintage Open Wheel Race
Cars in the country.
Curious
what an Offy sounds like at speed?
Curious what 5-10 Offys at speed sound like?
Curious what a Champ car sounds
like at speed?
Come
out and experience with us what has been one of the best kept
secrets. Expect to be impressed by the facility, by the people
and by the CARS!
