WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (October 20, 2014) – Tickets are still available to win a Fiat 500 Abarth Turbo Hatchback and a trip to Italy.
The International Motor Racing Research Center is raffling the car and trip to help support its mission to preserve and share the history of motorsports. The drawing for the winning ticket will take place on Dec. 13, at 1 p.m. at the Center located at 610 S. Decatur St., Watkins Glen, N.Y. The winner does not need to be present.
Only 3,500 tickets will be sold for the annual car raffle, the biggest fundraiser for the Racing Research Center, which is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization. As an archival and research library focused on the history of motorsports, the Center welcomes everyone, from the casual race fan to the serious researcher.
A significant and desirable car is selected each year for the annual fundraiser.
“The Fiat is the car you can use for grocery shopping during the week and take to the track on the weekends. There’s a reason reviewers dubbed it ‘small but wicked’,” Racing Research Center President J.C. Argetsinger said. “And the trip to Italy is real enticing. Back to where the Fiat was born!” Tickets are $40 for one or $100 for three. Tickets may be purchased by mailing in a form available at the website www.racingarchives.org; by calling the Center at (607) 535-9044; or by sending the necessary information to research@racingarchives.org. Online orders are not an option.
