A unique opportunity to exercise special cars on track!

The VSCCA Preservation Group is a non-competitive lapping group for former race and road cars through the early ‘70s. The aim is simple: for VSCCA members to enjoy the cars, enjoy the track, and enjoy driving together in an exciting yet safe environment.

IMPORTANT: Please note that the VSCCA runs additional events during this weekend that require separate registrations:
- Rivers & Wild Tour on Friday (No conflict - you can do this too.)
- Test & Tune on Thursday (No conflict - you can do this too.)
- Spring Sprints Vintage Racing (No conflict - you can do this too.)
- Vintage Racing Drivers' School (Conflicts with Preservation and cannot be combined)
- Driven to Race autocross on Saturday afternoon (Conflicts with Preservation and cannot be combined)
- Preservation at Spring Sprints (This event.)

The Skinny

Member’s cars from the Prewar era through the early ‘70s are encouraged to participate. We love to see former race cars (and drivers) who may not be competing anymore, or vintage road-going sports cars that our fellow VSCCA members want to enjoy on track. When in doubt, ask the Event Chair if your vehicle is the right fit.
We’re offering worker rides around 5:30 PM for 20 minutes on Saturday and hope you’d volunteer! Please indicate your interest in the registration process. No personal or car safety gear required, except for a passenger seat with seat belts.
Friends & family are welcome to come watch the racing - no entry fee.
We have paddock A all weekend starting at at 7:00 AM on Thursday, although the big trucks won’t be able to cross after 10:00 AM because of other track activities.
This is a muffled event!

Passing on the back straight by point-by is also allowed. Absolutely no passing in the corners. Watch your mirrors and be courteous. If someone sits on your tail through the turns, let them pass you on one of the straights and see their line. Safely swapping positions on the straights is fun.
