The lightning fast and scenic Calistoga Speedway is set to host the 4th annual Louie Vermeil Classic (LVC) September 3 & 4, 2011. The previous three LVC events have been an absolute success and this year’s agenda promises more of the same. Pre-race festivities kick off Saturday with the always popular Wine Pouring event sponsored by Vermeil Wines. Presently, seventeen (17) wineries are confirmed to pour some of their best vintages from 1-4pm. These wineries include Coppola Winery, Freemark Abbey, Bennett Lane and Merrvale Winery, among others. In addition to wine tasting, this event will have live entertainment provided by The Manzanita Band (classic rock) and complimentary gourmet sausages provided by the The Sausage Company, Inc.
On Sunday, pre-race events get started with the 2nd annual Beer Garden at 1pm. Beer tasters will have twelve (12) tasty breweries to choose from, which includes Sierra Nevada, Gordon Beirsch, Firestone D.B.A and Widmer Heffe, to name a few. The West Coast Blues Review will be supplying music entertainment and The Sausage Company, Inc. will again provide complimentary sausages.
Both days will see beautiful Bud Girls greeting and taking photos with tasters and passing out event giveaways. Admission to both pre-race events will be $10 for tasters (includes commemorative wine/pilsner glass) and $5 for non-tasters. We encourage all fans to show up early and support these outstanding events, as all proceeds are reinvested back into the weekend's racing event purse.
Sprint Cars and Midgets hit the track at 5pm sharp for wheel packing and hot laps. For more information, check out the event website www.louievermeilclassic.net.
