Formula Vee Challenge

[Kim291]

The Vintage Auto Racing Association (VARA) will be hosting "The Formula Vee Challenge Race", for all Formula Vee's at our next event.

Next Event: Oktoberfest at Buttonwillow Raceway, located just outside of Bakersfield CA, on September 11th and 12th, 2010.

This will be a run group for Formula Vees exclusively. Buttonwillow is a great 2.92 mile track for the vees. We will be using #25 track configuration.

A typical VARA schedule is: Saturday morning practice, a Qualifier Race, Sunday Morning practice and the regular VARA race Sunday afternoon.
Challenge Race will be held Saturday. You will be placed on the grid for the Challenge Race based on the finishing position in the Qualifier Race. All entrants are of course welcome to run all three events.

All Vees are welcome to race.
There will be 4 classes of Vees- the current VARA classification will be in effect with the 4th class for the modern and non VARA compliant vintage vees.
Trophies for 1st and 2nd place in each class.
Special keepsake souvenir.
Group Photo for each driver.
Prize Giveaways
Saturday night BBQ for Vee Drivers and their families.

We need to get at least a total of 15 Vees to make this happen so lets use this special privledge that VARA is offering to us.

For more information feel free to contact me.

Will VARA accept SCCA regional licensed drivers? Would we have to join VARA to be eligible to participate? Do you have an estimate on the approximate cost to enter?

Thanks,

[Kim291]

Hi Scott:

VARA will be accepting the SCCA regional licensed drivers. They also will be waiving the membership fee for this once a year event. You will be paying the membership rate which will be $275.00 for the whole weekend.

If you are interested in running please let me know so I can add you to the list for the BBQ and prize giveaways.

Hope to hear from you,
Kim Madrid
