About this event
The Race Against Kids’ Cancer (RAKC) is an exhilarating weekend of vintage car racing in partnership with our charity partner, The Morgan Adams Foundation. This is the 13th anniversary of this incredible event, and it promises to be another fantastic event for both racers and spectators alike! This year’s RAKC will honor and celebrate the 60th anniversary of Formula Vee racing with a special Veevergnügen festival (a spoof on VW’s Fahrvergnügen). All Formula Vees with a current logbook and annual tech are welcome and encouraged to join us! In addition to the featured formula vee group, the race weekend will include small and big bore production cars, open-wheel formula fords and fast formula/sports racer run groups.
In addition to fantastic racing, this special festival will include:
- A test and tune track day dedicated to RMVR and RAKC participants is available for Friday, July 28, 2023. You'll need to Sign up HERE with HPR for this extra day of track time.
- An opportunity to buy a “ticket to ride” on track at speed in a race, sports, or exotic car.
- An after-race party on Saturday evening with dinner available for purchase, live music, a silent auction, and fun rides around the track in the HPR bus!
- Event T-shirts to all entrants fundraising/donating $50 or more.
- Special prizes and awards for top racers and fundraisers, and much, much more!
Best of all, proceeds from the RAKC event benefit The Morgan Adams Foundation, a local non-profit that funds pediatric cancer research to develop new therapies and life-saving treatments for kids battling cancer.
