2 The month of May can mean a lot of things to auto racing enthusiasts the Indy 500 and Monaco Grand Prix come to mind. But for the vintage racer, the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point has made its mark as a mid-may annual vintage racing event in the Northeast marked the 21st year of the event. Vintage Racer Group (VRG) has taken very good care of the Jefferson 500, an event originally co-founded by Brian Redman and Summit Point track founder Bill Scott. While speaking with Jim Karamanis, the Jefferson 500 Co-Event Chairman for VRG, he noted that 2015 features the largest field of cars ever for the event, with over 250 entrants. Just driving through the paddock on Saturday morning told me this was a large turnout. Which is not surprising, VRG has grown its ranks steadily over the years. They have attracted quite a following for their camaraderie, sportsmanship, and an emphasis on safety. The Grand Marshal of the 2015 Jefferson 500 was legendary sports car driver Brian Redman. The annual event included an array of special feature races, to include: The Brain Redman Enduro, The Bill Scott Enduro, The Kas Kastner Cup featuring Triumph, the IMSA RS/SCCA 2.5 Challenge Re-Union Race, and special feature races for Porsche, Formula Vee, Victory Lane July

S2000, and Formula Ford. This impressive line-up doesn t even include the series of sprint races scheduled for each of the seven race groups. The weekend was a wall-to-wall, sun-up to sundown racing marathon. The cars/entrants for VRG are categorized into seven groups: Group 1 Wyer Cup (Medium Bore); Group 2 Cunningham Cup (Big Bore); Group 3 - Marlboro Cup (Small Bore over 1.3L); Group 4 Lola Cup (Small Bore under 1.3L); Group 5 Donohue Cup (Production and Special through 60 & Formula Vee); Group 6 Charlie Gibson Trophy (Sports Racers); and Group 7 - Phil Hill Cup (Open Wheel). Friday s schedule ended with the running of the two feature Enduros. The BILL SCOTT ENDURO was first up, and included cars from Groups 1, 3, 4, and 5 (closed wheel only). Tom Benjamin (#35) drove his 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV to victory. He also captured the fastest lap of the race with a 1: Vince Vaccaro (#99) placed second in his 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV, with Don Wannagat (#74) claiming third position in his 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV. It was an Alfa sweep! Closing out the Friday activity was the running of the BRIAN REDMAN ENDURO, featuring cars from Group 2 and Group 6 #33 Tom Cotter, 1964 Corvette; #67 Gene Kirschner, 1968 Porsche July 2015 Victory Lane (closed wheel only). Ben Sinnott (#5) in his menacing flat black 1991 Lola T90/91 captured the win. He also clocked the fastest lap of the race with a sizzling 1: Nathan Scigliano (#79) finished in second place, behind the wheel of his 1986 Swift S2. Ralph Manaker (#2) rounded out the podium finishers in his 1969 Chevron B-16. Saturday s track activity was filled with two sprint races for each of the seven groups, leading up to the afternoon program of special featured events. First on the agenda was the IMSA RS/ SCCA 2.5 CHALLENGE REUNION RACE. A field of 18 cars took the green flag. From that point it was John Baucom (#86) leading the charge and extending his lead, lap after lap in his 1969 Fiat 124 Coupe. John secured the fastest lap with a solid 1: Vince Vaccaro (#99) drove his 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV to second place, but was challenged in the closing laps by Skip Bryan (#316). Skip closed the gap in his 1972 BMW 2002, taking third position in a spirited effort. Next on the Saturday agenda of special events, was the PORSCHE FEATURE RACE. This may have been the most intense competition of the weekend. Olga Reindlova (#390) drove the beautiful blue and green psychedelic liveried 1969 Porsche 911 to a well-deserved first place finish. Second place belonged to John Deford (#57) in his 1970 Porsche The top two finishers drew away from the pack, distancing themselves from the rest of the field. The battle for third and fourth belonged to John Coey (#37) in a 1971 Porsche 911S, #80 Tom Kurtz, 1966 Ginetta G12 and George James (#177) in a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera. John withstood the pressure and held off George for the third spot on the podium. Further back there were tight battles all through the field. The competitors for the FORMULA VEE FEATURE RACE then took to the track. By this time the skies in West Virginia were darkening. It was expected that the FV race would be completed, but the remaining schedule of the day was in doubt. Paul Buttrose (#28) drove his 1968 Zink Formula Vee to the win, with Harry Sroka (#25) placing second in his 1967 Autodynamics Mk IV FV. The top two finishers were virtually in another time zone, as they crossed the line well ahead of third place. Roger Bailey (#87) finished third in his 1972 Lynx B. He also claimed the fastest lap of the race with a 1: By the end of the Formula Vee race the heavens began to open. Thunder and

lightening announced their arrival. Random raindrops quickly turned into an early summer monsoon.

Later, as the rain lightened to a steady drizzle, the safety trucks and pace cars took to the track in an attempt to disperse the water and develop a dry line.

Though the racing ended a bit early, this didn t dampen the VRG spirits, and the evening Jefferson 500 Dinner was to go on as planned.

Rick Karamanis, Event Co-Chairman, stated the dinner was transported to the paddock and training/ classroom area. Rick noted this was a prime example of what sets VRG apart.

4 lightening announced their arrival. Random raindrops quickly turned into an early summer monsoon. From my vantage point in the timing and scoring booth, you could see a river crossing the track at pit-out. Later, as the rain lightened to a steady drizzle, the safety trucks and pace cars took to the track in an attempt to disperse the water and develop a dry line. This was to no avail, and the remaining afternoon activities were scrubbed. The Sunday schedule was to be amended to include the rained out special feature races. Though the racing ended a bit early, this didn t dampen the VRG spirits, and the evening Jefferson 500 Dinner was to go on as planned. As preparations began in earnest to ready the large tent just off of the Turns 8-9 complex, the catering staff was faced with ankle deep water from the deluge of rain. Rick Karamanis, Event Co-Chairman, stated the dinner was transported to the paddock and training/ classroom area. Rick noted this was a prime example of what sets VRG apart. He added that the camaraderie and collegial spirit of everyone pitching in to move tables, chairs, and all the catering to the other side of the track was typical of their close-knit group. Rick stated that Brian Redman spoke to the dinner guests that evening and entertained as always with stories of his racing and driving exploits. Brian expressed his delight with the impressive number of entrants, and with the improvements that Summit Point has made to the track. Rick said that VRG made a contribution of $5,000 to Summit Point as support and assistance for the continuing #46 William Shields, 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV; #78 Steve Limbert, 1969 Porsche 914/4. improvements to the track. Rick added that safety is most important to Vintage Racer Group and what they stand for. Also, during the Jefferson 500 Dinner, VRG auctioned off an event poster signed by the participants and a book signed by auto racing legend, Sir Stirling Moss. In total, VRG was able to raise over $5,000 for High Performance Heroes (HPH), a fantastic group worthy of our support. photo by #333 Jack Poteet 1962 Morgan 4+4; #82 Michael Oritt, 1958 Elva Mk IV SR. #10 Mark Brummond, 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV6; #11 Steve Byrne, 1972 Datsun 240Z. The focus Sunday was on the completion of the special feature races. First on track was the KAS KASTNER CUP as 35 Triumphs took the green flag, in what was a very closely contested battle. First, second, and third place finishers crossed the line noseto-tail. Mike Munson (#23) was first under the checkered flag in his 1970 Triumph TR6. Mark Wheatley (#86) followed suit and finished second in his 1962 Triumph TR-4. Tony Drews (#95) rounded out the Kas Kastner Cup podium in his 1963 Triumph TR-4. One second covered the top three finishers. Next up was the SPORTS 2000 FEATURE RACE, in combination with the scheduled Sunday sprint race for Group 6. Ben Sinnott (#5) again blistered the track in his 1991 Lola T90/91. Ben s fast lap of the race was clocked at 1: This was an improvement from his fast lap in the Brian Redman Enduro. Alan Friedman (#23) drove his classic liveried red and white 1972 Chevron B-21 to a solid second place finish. Taking third place was Bryan Gernert (#77), piloting his 1986 Swift DB-2. The last of the special races featured the FORMULA FORDS. Leon Hodges-Austin (#5) paced the closely contested field in his 1976 Zink C5-A. He crossed the line just of second ahead of Joseph Griffin (#23) in his 1981 Crossle 45F. Third place was firmly in the hands of Doug Meis (#27), driving a 1974 Lola T340. The racing was close, heated, and entertaining. The Formula Ford races always have people at the edge of their seats. The final checkered flag brought an end to another great weekend at Summit Point. Throughout the three days of racing, each of the seven groups had as many as four to five sprint races. Some of the Sunday races were curtailed to make room for the rained out special feature races from Saturday. In total, the weekend schedule called for over 30 sprint races. There was never a dull moment, and #41 Gary Jebsen, 1962 Volvo P1800. no doubt the unsung heroes of the weekend were the corner workers, flagmen, and safety crew. Without their presence, awareness, and countless hours of work, none of this would have been possible. The Jefferson 500 is definitely alive and well. With this annual mid-may event, the organizers of VRG and Summit Point appear to have created an enduring classic for vintage racers. With a bumper crop of entrants this year, one can only expect another fantastic turnout in See you there! Victory Lane July
