A statement from our Founder:
"Why race cars? I've been asked that question quite often and my simple answer is this: passion. All of us at Race Cars for a Cause are passionate motorsports enthusiasts, and we enjoy passing that excitement on to all of our guests during our track days. Not very often do people get the chance to experience a fast lap in a race car on a true race track, and it's our mission to ensure that veterans and their families are smiling ear to ear after they step out of every car.
Since our inception in 2015, we have successfully served 572 veterans, active military, veteran caregivers, and their families, at race tracks all over New England. Lime Rock Park, Thompson Speedway, Palmer Motorsports Park, and the Waterford Speedbowl are just a few that we have visited over the past few seasons. Attendees get the chance to sit in a high performance car, or race car, with professional drivers and feel the thrill of adrenaline packed fast laps. Our events are family friendly, with activities for children such as our racing simulator, and static displays where kids can sit in a real race car and observe the safety and technical aspects of racing.
I am proud to say that no one in our organization receives any monetary compensation. 100% of all donations goes directly to supporting our programs for veterans. Motorsports can be very costly and time consuming, but everyone from the Board of Directors, to the event volunteer staff, donate all of their time and effort to keep our events running smooth and efficient. Our events are always free of charge for our military guests.
More than just a chance to experience racing, I want to give our veterans an opportunity to meet with other veterans, enjoy a day at the track, share some laughs, and relax in a stress free environment. Please join me in an effort to reach out to our veterans and provide a day of fun for them, and their families."
Thank you,
