WELCOME TO INDIANAPOLIS MOTORING CLASSIC
HOSTED BY WOODARD-VANRIPER FAMILY FOUNDATION
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23 @ 9AM
The Indianapolis Motoring Classic Charity Road Rally Invitational is built for thirty exceptional cars, the people who drive them, and the charities they support. Structured as a poker run, the day turns the drive itself into the game. Drivers depart the Stutz in downtown Indianapolis, head south for a day behind the wheel, and finish north in Carmel.
Since 2009, the Woodard VanRiper Family Foundation has brought local nonprofits together for a day of driving and giving, raising meaningful funding for organizations across central Indiana. The Indianapolis Motoring Classic continues that tradition, pairing the foundation's commitment to local causes with a curated field of exceptional automobiles, car enthusiasts… and organizations they support.
🥂 This is a 21 and over event. 🥂
WELCOME
There is something a road rally delivers that nothing else quite does. A day behind the wheel of a car you love, on roads worth the drive, with people who get it. But the best part isn't the driving. It's knowing that every mile is raising real money for causes that matter, turning a day we love into a day that does real good for the community we share.
BY INVITATION ONLY
This is an invitation-only event, with entrants nominated through our partner charities. As with all of our events, we carefully curate the field, bringing together a select group of drivers and machines for a day among people who belong in the same room.
ALL-IN FOR CHARITIES
Each driver drives for a charity, and the Woodard VanRiper Family Foundation matches every entry, doubling the impact before the first card is dealt. Drivers build a five-card hand, collecting cards from start to finish, and the three best hands win for the charities they represent. Additional cards may be purchased at the finish, with every dollar added to the pool. One charity could sweep. All three could share.
OLD FRIENDS, NEW ACQUAINTANCES
Hit the road alongside a group of collectors who share a passion for the automobile and a commitment to giving back. It is a day to connect, to compete in good spirit, and to enjoy the company of people who understand exactly why the day matters.
GET IN & DRIVE
We'll take drivers on an expertly planned route through the best roads southern Indiana has to offer, a blend of technical turns, sweeping curves, and landscapes that make the journey as rewarding as the destination. This isn't about speed. It is about precision, craftsmanship, and the shared appreciation of the automobile in motion.
HOSPITALITY & HORSEPOWER
The day begins at the Stutz, continues with a private luncheon at Wasatch Lake where drivers collect cards along the route, and concludes at the Turner Jeffrey Building in Carmel with drinks, heavy hors d'oeuvres, conversation, and the reveal of the winning hands.
RESPONSIBLE MOTORING
The Indianapolis Motoring Classic is designed to be a safe, enjoyable, and responsible driving experience. Participants are expected to abide by all applicable traffic laws, respect the limits of their vehicles, and drive within their own abilities and comfort levels. This event is about appreciating the drive, not pushing limits, ensuring a rewarding experience for all participants.
