Did you know, that the original Road America race was held on the streets of Elkhart Lake? Inspired by the success of Watkins Glen, the local Chicago region SCCA held their first race on July 23, 1950, on a 3.35-mile circuit. The event’s popularity grew with races in 1951 and 1952 on a 6.5-mile course, drawing competitors from around the nation. The 1952 weekend drew an estimated 100,000 fans! #imsahistory #imsaclassic #roadamerica
