Meet The Vintage Car Rally Association!
The Vintage Car Rally Association was founded by “three old rally buddies” who wanted to keep the old car sport alive and at the same time raise money for, and awareness of, autism. “All we’re trying to do is raise the awareness of autism,” said Rex Gardner, VCRA founder and grandfather to 10-year-old Justyce, who has autism. “We’d like to have a program that will speak to autistic folks when they get to the age of 18 so they’ll have some place to learn and to live. So we’re going to continue the campaign.” Curious about old cars and want to join the cause? Visit their website and join the event. There are currently five vintage car races scheduled across the country for next year. For more information, visit VCRA online at http://www.vintagecarrally.com/.
