SCCA Road Racing Returns To Brainerd International Raceway -
Racing Enthusiast Open House April 10

Minneapolis, MN – April 3, 2010 – The Sports Car Club of America, Land O’ Lakes Region is pleased to announce that a full slate of SCCA Club Racing classes will once again compete at Brainerd International Raceway(BIR) on July 3 & 4, 2010. The Jack Pine Sprints Quadruple Regional marks the first time in 10 years that SCCA-sanctioned racing has been held at BIR.

Adding additional excitement to the weekend, the races will run on BIR’s newly configured 2.5 mile road course. Because a good number of volunteer workers are needed, anyone interested in this and other Club events is invited to the LOL Open House at Derhaag Motorsports, 749 Canterbury Road in Shakopee on Saturday, April 10 from 10AM-2PM.

Up to 150 race cars representing 10 different race groups will be featured at the July event, from showroom stock to super prepared, purpose-built, highly technical race cars, driven by some of the best amateur drivers from all over the nation. SCCA is proud to be bringing Club Road Racing back to Minnesota and is excited to partner with Brainerd International Raceway to host this event. BIR has a rich road racing history and is one of the premier tracks in the nation.

SCCA’s Land O’ Lakes Region is composed of over 400 members, involved in all aspects of club racing, including road racing, autocross, rally cross and solo events. “Our events are staffed and managed by volunteers from the club, and this is a great way to get close to the action and feel the thrill and excitement of racing” said Kathy Gillen, event coordinator. “We are always looking for new racers as well as volunteers to help staff events and have many opportunities for both experienced and inexperienced volunteers who love racing”.
