From a press release:

The 18th annual Wegman Benefit auction held at Blackhawk Farms Raceway was a huge success, thanks in part to Hurricane Ivan and the cancellation of the AMA Superbike round at VIR.

A record turn out of racers (900+ entries) and the showing of several AMA regulars produced great racing all weekend and a fantastic auction on Saturday night.

Along with local AMA Pro racers Jesse Janisch, Blake Young, Shawn Conrad and Montez Stewart, Mark Junge of Vesrah Racing and WERA endurance fame came to these CCS races for a shot at some of the Suzuki contingencies and extra purse money provided by VoiceEclipse. Along the way Junge set a new track record for the 1.95 mile Blackhawk Farms circuit at 1:09.7.

The always interesting Wegman Fund auction on Saturday evening raised $26,000 for seriously injured roadracers. Auctioned were items from AMA pro racers, Miguel Duhamel, Mat Mladin, Roger Lee Hayden, Ben Bostrom, Josh Hayes, Jake Zemke and more. Nicky Hayden sent along a couple of autographed prints by Tana Hayes and other goodies. The item receiving the largest bid of $550 was a Phat Boy mini chopper donated by Hookers Resort in Poynette, WI. followed by a signed Nicky Hayden print for $500.
