The 50th running of the Johnny Key Classic is fast approaching. The memorial event honoring local racing legend Johnny Key will be run on Sat august 28, 2010. The race has long ties to local bay area motorsports, having been run for the first time in 1954, following the racing death of Johnny Key during a midget race car event in Ohio.
Through the years this race has been a must see event for fans and a highly sought after win for the competitors. A tradition of this event has been the collection of lap money from fans as well as other interested parties. This collection of money has always been awarded to the leader or top lead cars for every lap of the event, making it that much more important to be up front as much as possible.
This year it is just as important as any to the drivers and teams to have those lap money donations come in. All donations of any amount will be accepted and placed on whatever lap you want to select. So if you have a favorite or meaningful number, or a number of a favorite driver, or just want to pick a lap number and contribute to it, you are invited to do so. Historically people have brought money to the announcers booth at the track, and that will be accepted this year as well.
Also you can get in touch with a couple of people via email and set up a donation or find out additional info. While all donations will be welcomed, a donation of $50 to your favorite lap would be great. That $50 would be divided up between the top three positions for the lap as follows; $25 for 1st, $15 for 2nd, and $10 for third. There are a total of 50 laps (1-50) to pick from and there is no limit to how much money a lap can be worth or how many people can put money towards a lap. Again, please join in and be a part of this historical event.
