In digging through some old 8mm films a few months back that my Dad had for many years, we found this relatively short clip of a United States Road Racing Championship (USRRC) race from Elkhart Lake at Road America in Wisconsin. Growing up in the Northern Illinois area, I was at Road America a number of times and I consider that facility America’s most beautiful road race course.Below is the clip of USRRC from our post on You-Tube and a couple of pics from the 1971 Can Am race that I was fortunate to be at to see those Big Motored Beasts run through the trees.
As always, until next time…….TACH IT UP……!!!
