Press Release Body: Dennis Racine will be racing against some of the best real
vintage race cars from the west coast as he upholds the family racing tradition.

Dennis has been competing for many years with his own classic Mini in regional and
national Autocrosses. His 'green machine' has been the standard to beat at most Mini
Meets since the early 1980's. The "Monte Mini" that will be raced at the Vintage
Event has competed at almost every west coast venue for the last 25+ years. The
"Monte" has been presented as a copy of the very famous factory rally Mini Cooper
that won the Monte Carlo rally in 1967. The "Monte" has been preserved by Don Racine
to very classic standards with a full race 1293cc engine complete with SU Carbs. Don
Racine is the founder and president of Mini Mania, the largest worldwide supplier of
performance parts and accessories for the Mini Cooper range of products.

The 2nd weekend in October marks the running of the 5th CSRG CHARITY CHALLENGE at
Infineon Raceway. Appearing along with the myriad of exciting CSRG participants will
be the cars of the Historic Grand Prix Group, the historic NASCAR Group and Formula
Junior. This CHARITY CHALLENGE weekend is a great opportunity for CSRG and all of
its friends to again contribute to a great cause – the needy children of Sonoma
County and celebrate CSRG’s 41 racing season. Through Speedway Children’s Charities
we have been able to donate $367K in the last four years to the needy children of
Sonoma County. All of the receipts from the ticket sales, track ride-arounds, Friday
night dinner, and live and silent auctions will again be donated directly to the
Speedway Children’s Charities.
