GingerMan Raceway, South Haven, MI, will be the site for a full weekend of sports car races over Labor Day weekend, September 5 - 7, 1998. Saturday and Sunday will see traditional sports car races with both vintage and current era sports cars competing. Labor Day Monday will be an open track time trial competition, open to any adventurous driver with a safe car.

GingerMan Raceway is a 1.9 mile road racing course just east of South Haven. It is unique in that there are several viewing points from which the entire course can be watched. The track has been praised for its wide, smooth paving, tricky turns and safety. Located on over 360 acres, it has ample grassy parking and picnic areas, a pond, concession stands and modern restrooms.

The GingerMan Vintage Challenge III races are presented by the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs. Over 200 cars are expected to attend, from tiny open wheeled cars barely big enough to hold a driver, up to thundering Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs. Foreign makes represented should be Porsche, Alfa Romeo, MG, Austin Healey, Datsun and others.

Competitors, race staff and guests are invited to attend. Guest gate fee is $10, good for the whole weekend. Children under 12 are free. To compete in the wheel-to-wheel racing Saturday and Sunday, you must be at least 18 years of age, hold a competition license and have a race prepared car. To race Monday in the Open Track time trials, you need only to be at least 18 years of age, a state driver's license and a safe car. Most street cars qualify, though open roadsters and convertibles must have rollover bars installed.
