More news to come. Right now we are arranging discount lodging in Birmingham and will have a web site for registration. The web site is Vettes4Vets.org. The registration is not up yet but will be. The way it is set up right now we can accept 260 cars. The price is $75.00 for 5 laps on the speedway and $125.00 for two 5 laps sessions. 15 cars at a time. If you take a veteran for a ride it is free and there will be free laps at the end of the day for those that give veterans rides, time permitting. The web site when updated will explain all of this. Today we just got things put together and things will be happening rapidly from here on. Thanks for your interest and come drive the high banks of Talladega for a good cause in a great car.

Gary,

We are verry interested, but website is for 2014, and says it was postponed till 2015, and then 2015 event did not happen. Needs some updating!

Good luck, and keep us posted.

The website will be updated soon, but spread the word, the event is taking place this year. Vettes4Vets.org is the correct website and all of the current information, registration etc is being worked on as we speak. We are meeting again next week and hopefully we will be ready to start the registration process. Thank you for your interest and look forward to seeing you in May.
