Our Goal - Bring the Louie Vermeil Classic to Calistoga in 2023

The Hunt family (HMC Promotions, Inc.) has set its goal to return to Calistoga for what will be the 14th annual "Louie Vermeil Classic" in 2023. Sadly, we're announcing that the year 2022 "Louie Vermeil Classic" will not be held.


We appreciate those that attended the 13th annual "Louie Vermeil Classic" at Chico's Silver Dollar Speedway last year. We endeavored to create the same fan experience in Chico as we enjoyed in Calistoga. We appreciate that Dennis & Sandy Gage and Troy Hennig allowed us to present the event at the Silver Dollar Speedway in 2021. We would all agree that Calistoga Speedway is truly the home of the "Louie."


With your support, we feel confident that racing will return to the Napa Valley in 2023. Many of you have been kind enough to send or email a message to both the City and County representatives confirming your support of future racing at Calistoga Speedway. For those of you who already sent emailed messages, THANK YOU. If you haven't had the chance, it's not too late. Please click this link to group send an email to every city and county official - https://conta.cc/3CAceXS


We appreciate the large group of people who have unselfishly joined our efforts in the past years. Without their assistance, this unique event would be impossible to produce. To present an event that properly represents the incredible legacy of Louie Vermeil, every person and resource available will be necessary for 2023

.

We remain in constant contact with representatives from the City of Calistoga, and as information becomes available, we will pass it along to the various media outlets.


If you have any ideas or information that you feel would be helpful to renew racing at Calistoga, please get in touch with us by email tommy@hmcpromotions.com.

AbOUT THE LOUIE VERMEIL CLASSIC

Louis "Louie" Vermeil

The "Louie Vermeil Classic" honors the legacy of Louie Vermeil, a co-founder of the Northern Auto Racing Club (NARC) — now known as the King of the West/Fujitsu series. Louis's work in the early days of NARC was described as everything from referee to business manager. For many years during his tenure, he served as both president and chief steward of NARC.


Louis served as president of the club from 1965 to 1985, spending countless hours and dollars (from his own pocket) to ensure the long-term success of his dream. He also owned sprint cars, including the number 65 Offenhauser-powered "Vermeil Offy" car driven by hotshoes such as Johnny Anderson and Mike Andreeta up through 1977.


Louis Vermeil passed away on March 19, 1987, following a long battle with cancer. Louis was named "motor sportsman of the Year" in 1982 and inducted into their Hall of Fame in 1987 by Northern California's Motoring Press Association (MPA)


This year HMC Promotions presents the 13th annual Louie Vermeil Classic at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA.
