Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival

Saturday, June 2 - Sunday, June 3, 2012
Historic Car Races

Race fans will be treated to a celebration of the long and tradition-rich history of motorsports at the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival. The event is billed as “Moments in Time: A Celebration of the History of Motorsports.” It will focus on highlights of the 1950s-1980s era in which auto racing began to cement its international status as a world-class spectator sport.

In addition, you will be treated to the annual outstanding collection of 400 historic racecars competing on the 12-turn, 2.52-mile road course, including such classics as a 1911 National Indy 500 racer to a 1991 Roush IMSA GTO Mustang. Every ticket is a paddock pass, so you’ll get an up-close look at these incredible machines and their owners.

Bill Pollack, who drove an Allard J2 in 1952 to a victory at the first Golden Gate Park Road Races in San Francisco, has been named Grand Marshal.

The weekend also features the Wine Country Pavilion with samplings of fine foods and wines from the Sonoma and Napa valleys.  It’s a perfect pairing of the wine country and racing you won’t want to miss! See below for ticket information.

What's Happening

Wine Country Pavilion Highlights Weekend Events
Fine cars and wine country living are the perfect pair at the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival, as race fans are invited to sample some of the Sonoma and Napa valleys’ finest regional wines and cuisine in the Wine Country Pavilion.

Admission to the Wine Country Pavilion, as well as a number of food and wine samples, are included with your race-day admission ticket.  The pavilion will be open on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.

Featured wineries include Cline Cellars, Rocking K Vineyard, Aspina Vineyards and KORBEL California Champagne. A variety of food samplings will also be offered from fine area restaurants including Lucy at Bardessono in Yountville, Kollar Chocolates and Clover Stornetta Dairy, as well as from Hobbs Cured Meats and Annie the Baker.

The raceway would like to thank Chef Victor Scargle of Bardessono in Yountville for his help in putting together a stellar line-up of food and wine purveyors for the event.  Proceeds generated from the pavilion will go to Sonoma County youth organizations through Speedway Children’s Charities, the charitable arm of the raceway. Speedway Children’s Charities has distributed more than $4 million since 2001.
