CANTON, Mo. — Quincy Grand Prix Inc., the nonprofit organization that organizes the Grand Prix of Racing each summer in Quincy, Ill., recently made a $5,000 donation to ÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø for a scholarship in honor of Gus Traeder, a former trustee at the college.

The Grand Prix ran from 1970 to 2001 under Gus Traeder’s leadership. It was resurrected in 2018 under the leadership of Terry Traeder, Gus’ son and a member of the Board of Trustees at C-SC. Next year’s event, set for June 13-14, 2020, will be the 50th anniversary of the first race in South Park.

It also will include live statistics. Culver-Stockton, which is coordinating the broadcast, expects to use more than 5,000 feet of camera lines (up from 2,000 last year) and is adding five cameras. Adams Fiber installed an fiber-optic cable in South Park last year and added another near the start/finish line this year to improve the broadcast quality.

The Grand Prix can be seen online on WGEM at  or on Facebook Live at .

Championship races begin at noon.

The original Grand Prix, created by Quincy promoter Gus Traeder, started in 1970 and ran for 32 years, first on the streets of downtown Quincy and then moving to the 1.3-mile course in South Park. Traeder’s son, Terry, now promotes the two-day event, which had 302 entries and attracted an estimated 16,000 fans last year.

Culver-Stockton students and alumni are encouraged to visit the track in South Park for its Tri-State Area Send-Off. Food and refreshments will be served under a blue-and-white pop-up tent at the south end of the park near the concession stands. Admission is free.
