Friends of TROG,

Let’s start with the most important part of our announcement: Thank you!!! Thank you to our champions who, year after year, have our back and stick with us including these last few years when it’s been exceptionally difficult to put the race on.

Let’s talk about 2022 tickets… We know communication around the tickets left much to be desired, mostly because we really weren’t sure if we’d be able to honor them. While the state shut the race down (natural disaster/state of emergency), we still paid for all of the race infrastructure that we normally would which comes in around $200k. Thats left us in a tricky spot, devastated financially.

But we’re not quitters and neither are all of you and even though the tickets were sold as non-refundable through Showclix, leaving you all out in the cold isn’t our style!

While we will absolutely honor the 2022 tickets, we’d ask that if you have the capacity to purchase one this year, that you do so in support of the race, or bring a carload of new people with you to buy tickets to help the loss of ticket sales for this years race we so desperately need!

Post on socials, help us get the word out about the race so that we’re able to keep it going! Bring all the friends you can… 💪❤️ We want yo keep the fun going, and vintage racing alive for future generations to come!

We also want to address the random rumor that TROG has been outsourced to an event company or sold to one.

While that would probably make our lives a bit more simple, it’s not true. It’s still our small but mighty team working behind the scenes to keep the races and rock and roll going.

Again, thank you all for a decade of support. It’s our honor to put this race on for all of you, for your families, our racers, and we hope to keep doing it for years to come with your help. Thank you!
