Race 2, June 20-22
CSRG Laps for Laguna, Laguna Seca Raceway, Monterey, California
The Sprite-Midget Challenge is grateful to CSRG for including us for the second time in their race schedule. In 2023 we raced with them at Thunderhill Raceway as a part of their season finale that is PACKED with seat time. From that weekend we adopted the Le Mans-style start they use for the enduro event. Laguna Seca and its famous Corkscrew turn is a bucket-list track for many racers and we are stoked to fill those buckets with CSRG in 2025!
Cost: TBD

Race 3, July 4-6
SOVREN Pacific Northwest Historics
Pacific Raceways, Kent, Washington
Pacific Raceways is the home track of SOVREN, the Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts, our primary race host. This challenge race takes place amid three full days of vintage racing at the track, and it is the best attended Northwest vintage race of the season (drivers and spectators). Local car clubs park in the ‘car corral’ adjacent to the front straight and usually get a few parade laps during the lunch break. What’s better than watching a race? Watching and then getting to drive the track in your street car!
Cost: TBD

Race 4, August 9-10
British Columbia Historics, Mission Raceway Park, Mission, British Columbia
Mission is a tight, technical track that tests brakes as much or more than acceleration. Hosted by the Vintage Racing Club of British Columbia and the Sports Car Club of British Columbia, the weekend is filled with fun on and off the track, and is not to be missed by drivers or fans.

Race 5, September 27-28
SOVREN Columbia River Classic, Portland International Raceway, Portland, Oregon
Portland’s Columbia River Classic is the birth place of the Sprite-Midget Challenge. It’s a great facility and the race coincides with the annual Portland All British Field Meet, one of the largest British cars shows in North America. While we race, the show cars will be parked on a field right behind the paddock. Car show participants can enter their cars in a slalom race at lunch time on both Saturday and Sunday.
