• On Friday we hope to have the traditional party.  We will not decide that until closer to the event.  Should we have it, although this party is free for everyone, donations in the form of wine, beer and sodas will be gratefully accepted. If you can’t bring a beverage to the party think of adding an extra donation to your entry fee to help offset the cost to the club. The club does have to pay for all of the extras at the party.  We would like this party to be a social event. Meet your fellow drivers, corner marshals and friends to talk about the day's racing.
• To pay by check, please download this entry form and mail per the instructions.
• If you would like to donate to the Friday night party and to the volunteer marshals (flaggers, corner works, etc.) please do so online - towards the end of this registration, or mail a check made out to VSCCA, Inc. to Charles Bordin, 9 Leatherstocking Lane, Scarsdale, NY 10583.
