"Elkhart Lake celebrates 60 years! "

This year the town of Elkhart Lake, WI will celebrate 60 years since the first road race was held using city streets. The Historic Circuits organization has an entire weekend of activities planned this September 10-12th - held inconjunction with VSCDA's ELVF vintage race weekend.

The HRC was able to get a National Historical designation in 2006 of the old road course so that future highway work/improvments will not alter the roadways.To participate, volunteer or attend any of the special events, please visit www.hrc60th.com

We will be attending the special Friday evening dinner which will feature John Fitch who will be 93 years old and has many stories to share. He was the first American to race automobiles successfully in Europe in the postwar era.

Saturday will be full of car events beginning with a Kettle Call rally which we will "attempt" in addition to the road course re-enactment tour and a concours on the lawn of the Osthoff. Back at Road America, the VSCDA will be running the qualifying and races all three days. Check it out at ROAD AMERICA ELVF
