Drive to Jefferson 500
Saturday, May 16, 2015, 7:30am
Summit Point Raceway
Summit Point, WV
The Vintage Racer Group (VRG) club and Summit Point Motorsports Park will hold the “Jefferson 500” at Summit Point on May 14 - May 17, 2015. This multi-day racing event, sanctioned by the VRG, has been one of the Northeast’s largest vintage races.
During the Jefferson 500 event, on Saturday, May 16, the Country Roads Car Club will host a car show on the grounds of Summit Point. The $15.00 car show registration fee provides both entry into Summit Point and the car show. Car show participants will be eligible to sign up for a three-lap parade session on the track at lunch time (for an additional fee of $10 to benefit High Performance Heroes, a charity supporting wounded veterans). The car show times are listed for 10:00am – 4:00pm but the car show organizers recommend that entrants arrive between 8:30am-9:00am to get parked on the show field and signed-up for the parade laps.
For those POG members interested in going to the Jefferson 500 and entering the car show as a group, Bruce Bade (bruce.bade@cox.net) will lead a POG caravan from the Reston Town Center. We will gather at the Reston Town Center surface parking lot closest to La Madeleine Bakery & Café at 7:30am. (La Madeleine opens at 6:30am.) We will depart no later than 7:45am and drive west via the Toll Road/Greenway (recommend have an EZ Pass!) and VA Route 7 to arrive at Summit Point Raceway around 8:45am.
