This Vintage Race weekend will be dedicated to the memory of our former Vintage Chief Bruce Goronsky. Bruce passed away March 29th after fighting a courageous battle with cancer. Bruce spent many years making the Vintage program a success for the region and he contributed as a director for Thunderhill Raceway.
As a tribute to Bruce we will be dressing for the Saturday evening dinner and social in his favorite track side attire, a Hawaiian shirt and baseball cap (with his signature gray ponytail hanging out the back). Please join us to celebrate Bruce’s life and his many accomplishments for the San Francisco SCCA region.
