Classic Sports Racing Group Race Weekend 

Benefits Speedway Children's Charities, Oct. 15-16

 

SONOMA, Calif. (IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - The Classic Sports Racing Group
(CSRG) will return to Infineon Raceway, Oct. 15-16, for a weekend of
exciting vintage racing action, and the best part is that all proceeds
from the weekend will go to charity.

 

The 2nd annual CSRG Charity Challenge will feature a full weekend of
racing action on Infineon Raceway's twisting 12-turn, 2.52-mile road
course.  More than 250 competitors are expected to compete in eight
different racing groups, including competition in the Historic Grand
Prix Group and the historic NASCAR Group. Some of the cars featured will
be Lotus, Porsche, Corvette and Ferrari, among others.

 

Away from the track, drivers and fans will put their passion toward
raising money for the Sonoma Chapter of Speedway Children's Charities,
the charitable arm of Infineon Raceway. CSRG will host a variety of
events throughout the weekend, including a black-tie dinner, karting
tournament, silent auction, racecar raffle and track rides.  Proceeds
from all events will go directly to Speedway Children's Charities. The
inaugural CSRG Charity Challenge in 2004 raised $82,000 for Speedway
Children's Charities, which was distributed to qualified youth
organizations in the Sonoma Valley.    

 

"This event was very well received by our competitors last year and we
really hope to make it even more successful this year," said Dan
Radowicz, executive administrator for CSRG.  "We've got a record number
of competitors for this year's event and hopefully that will translate
to even more money for Speedway Children's Charities." 

 

One of the more popular events of the race weekend will be the track
rides. For $75, you can be the passenger on a lap around the legendary
circuit in the car of your choice - there will be approximately 20 cars
to choose from. You must register in advance for this at
www.csrgracing.org <http://www.csrgracing.org/> .

 

Practice, qualifying and main events will be featured both Saturday and
Sunday for all eight racing groups.  A weekend pass for the CSRG Charity
Challenge is $20 for adults and $10 for children 16-and-under.  For more
