For 2023 the event formally Vettes-4-Vets has been changed to "Hendricks...Driven for Veterans". The format will be the same as it has been for years. Sessions will still be 5 laps per session and the website for signing up should be up soon to register. The event will still be held May 27th at Talladega SuperSpeedway. Anyone who has participated in this event knows the importance of supporting the local Veterans Organizations money raised from the event goes to. I'm starting the 15 car Corvette Forum Group in this thread so hope to see you in May!

I contacted Gary Nelson this week to see how the website is coming along. He told me they have a meeting this coming Thursday and the website should be up soon. Also requested our group to go out with the Patriot car in the first session and if you ran with us last year you know how awesome it was. I'll post updates as I get them. I sent in our group lineup to him so he is aware we are ready to register.

Registration for Talladega is open and ready to go. I just paid for 5 sessions and this year it will cost $10.00 more per session because of increased rental and Insurance costs according to Gary Nelson. You'll be able to use a credit card on the site to pay for the sessions and I had no problems at all. I did register to the site to keep a record of my purchase . Here is a link to the page. Go to shop now and it will take you to the link to buy sessions. Any problems let me know and I'll pass the word along to Gary.

Home | Hendrick Driven For Veterans (square.site)

Once you pay just let me know how many sessions you paid for and I'll add them to our group.
