Regional & Local Chapter News

This year 9 local Cadillac V-Club local chapters hosted holiday banquets for their members with the Las Vegas Chapter hosting the final banquet of the year this past week-end.

At each local chapter banquet, one lucky member had the opportunity to win a two person multi-day ticket package to attend a Cadillac V-Corral/Suite event at IMSA Weathertech Championship races in 2022.  These ticket packages are valued at $500 each.  V-Club Chapters located in the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Southwest gave away a door prize trip to the Laguna Seca IMSA event scheduled for April 29 - May 1, 2022 and Chapters located in the South Central and Atlantic Northeast will gave away a door prize trip to the Rolex 24 Hour IMSA event in Daytona scheduled for January 27-30, 2022.  The winners of these ticket packages valued at $500 each were:

Seattle/Portland Chapter - Diana Spisak, Renton, WA
Norcal Chapter - Frank Revuelta, Redwood City, CA
Socal Chapter - Jake Jordan, Corona, CA
Las Vegas Chapter - Stacy Martin, Las Vegas, NV

DFW Chapter - Ray Beougher, Double Oak, TX
Houston Chapter - Earl Parmer, Houston, TX
Austin/San Antonio Chapter - Martin Jackson, San Antonio, TX
Detroit Chapter - Jeremy Stanke, Commerce Township, MI

Today via a drawing held on Random.org, the Cadillac V-Club continued our holiday celebration by selecting the two "grand prize" winners.

Grand Prize #1 Winner: Ben Remak, Seattle/Portland Chapter - Washington

Ben was selected via a random draw on Random.org from among the local chapter members who RSVP'd to attend a holiday banquet and attended the banquet.

Grand Prize #2 Winner: John Sketoe, South Central Region - Arkansas

John was selected via a random drawing on Random.org from among all regional V-Club members and those local chapter members who were unable to attend a local chapter holiday banquet this year.

Both of these grand prize winners will receive a full tuition paid trip to the two-day Cadillac V-Performance Academy located at Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club in Pahrump, NV. 

These two grand prizes combined with the local chapter Cadillac V-Corral ticket package door prizes provided an opportunity for every Cadillac V-Club member to win a prize during our annual holiday celebration. The total value of all prizes being awarded exceeds $11,500. 

Recipients of prize certificates are responsible for associated travel arrangements and expenses. Prize certificates are not transferable to any non-member of the Cadillac V-Club and must be used during the calendar year 2022. Should the events be cancelled for any unforseen reason, a best effort will be made to provide tickets to an alternate venue at a future date.

Congratulations to each of these prize winners!
