Opening WelcomeSteve PageRaceway President & General Manager

Steve Page joined the raceway as President and General Manager in 1991 after 11 years working in marketing and special events for baseball’s Oak-land Athletics where, among other responsibilities, he served as coordinator for the 1987 MLB All-Star Game. Before entering the sports arena, he spent

several years on Capitol Hill as press secretary for U.S. Congressman Leon Panetta. He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley.

Keynote Speaker: Driving Change Through Major Sports Events

Neill Duffy Sportsman, Businessman and Change Agent

Neill Duffy’s professional career spans some 25 years in the sports and entertainment industry with the last five years having been focused on the “space” at the intersection of sport and sustainability. During this time he has held various senior executive leadership positions including that of President

of Octagon Europe Middle East Africa, Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer for the 34th America’s Cup, Group Managing Director of Octagon South Africa and Executive Chairman of Tribe Management. To best capture the biggest opportunity that Neill believes exists in the world of sports today, Neill has developed SPORTS IMPACT MARKETING, a proprietary model that enables sports organizations to go beyond simple philanthropy and corporate social responsibility to embrace sustainability as a core business driver.

Morning Panel 1: Sustainable Performance Ranking MetricFor some automotive consumers, a car’s environmental footprint is the principal factor in their purchase decision. For others, it’s purely about the car’s capabilities on the road. But most new car buyers probably fall somewhere in between—they want to do the right thing environmentally, but are not willing to give up value and performance. Traditional marketing efforts to the horse-power and performance car enthusiast carry little mention of efficiency, emissions or any other green factors. It’s as if a positive environmental profile would imply sacrificing the qualities those consumers care most about. In reality, there are probably two false assumptions: 1. That performance car buyers don’t care about the environment.2. That sustainability and performance are mutually exclusive concepts.To address this need, the raceway, in collaboration with Dominican University of California’s Green MBA program, has developed a beta version of a new rating system combining the fac-tors most closely associated with both sustainability and performance into a single metric.

It also covers new cars, old cars, fast cars and slow cars. Among the latter group is Vaughn’s own, personal Mitsubishi i, the smallest, cheapest

electric car sold in America. Since he lives in Los Angeles and drives an EV, his Detroit-based editors assume he is, “...one of those tree-hugging communists out there.” He has engineered and installed several green technologies on his own home, with varying degrees of success, ranging from a solar-powered shower to various grey water applications. Solar panels are due on the roof next month. Once he gets the rainwater reclamation project up and running, he’ll be off the grid for good. So talk to him now while you have the chance.

Morning Panel 2: the state of sustainable racingThe raceway worked with the Green MBA program at Dominican University to produce a comprehensive research report on the State of Sustainable Racing, 2012.

ABOUT THE RACEWAY’S SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTSThe raceway in Sonoma has established itself as a North American hub for emerging tech-nologies related to sustainability and performance in motor sports, as well as a consumer marketplace.

Whether it was a major Panasonic solar installation of nearly 1,700 panels at the raceway or electric motorcycles zooming around the circuit, the raceway has continued to prove that you don’t have to sacrifice performance for sustainability. The raceway also makes it a priority to take an active role in sustainability. Whether it’s the 3,000 sheep that mow the facility or the 20 or more owl boxes that maintain the property. The raceway has also recycled more than 272 tons of materials (545,745 pounds) since 2004.

In addition, the raceway partners with NASCAR on the Green Clean Air program, which is designed to help capture the carbon emissions produced by racing. NASCAR will donate a minimum of 50 trees following this year’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 event in Sonoma.

New for 2012, the raceway and Fuel 21 Inc. have entered into an agreement that has made the Napa-based company an Associate Level Partner in the raceway’s Accelerating Sustain-able Performance program. Fuel 21 is an ethanol gel fuel made from sustainable sugarcane, which provides intense heat that lasts longer than other warming fuels. Fuel 21 performs bet-ter than other conventional fuels, plus it’s all-natural, non-toxic, sustainable and cost-effective.
