The Washington DC Region of the SCCA is holding its annual Racing for Reading MARRS. For the second consecutive year, funds will raised to benefit a troubled reader program at the Jefferson County Public Schools. The program targets middle school children reading below their grade level. Last year, DC Region raised enough money to get the program into a single school in the country. The school district would like to expand the program to all of the county's schools and we think car enthusiasts can help them do it.
On Saturday, Sept 5, we have been invitied to attend to bring our cars to Summit Point. Car corrals will be roped off for each club to show off the cars. During lunch, pace laps ($10/each) will be sold with all of the funds going to the school district. After the racing, at the hospitality party in the paddock, there will be a charity auction which is open to everyone. Again, all of the funds go to the schools.

If you wish to attend as a group, contact Stewart Fox at president@nvcorvetteclub.com (http://us.mc540.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=president@nvcorvetteclub.com) so that he can make arrangements for enough corral space. There is no fee to show your car in the corral. For folks who want to take in a day of racing SCCA style and commit in advance to attend the MARRS Reading/Charity event, they will also be able to purchase a specially priced $10, Saturday-only ticket. If they do not let us know ahead of time, it will be the usual fee: regular Summit Point ticket price for MARRS Friday, Saturday & Sunday is $23 in advance, $25 at the gate. Children 12 and under are no charge. Be sure to cheer on our very own Andrej Balanc in the T-1 division!
