A HUGE NUMBER OF VINTAGE CARS HIGHLIGHTED THE WEATHERTECH INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE WITH BRIAN REDMAN PRESENTED BY HAWK
July 18, 2016 by Road AmericaELKHART LAKE, Wis., July 17, 2016 - The WeatherTech International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK vintage event concluded today at Road America after three days of fabulous racing action, exhibitions, concours awards and activities for fans. The event has been heralded as one of the largest vintage racing events in the country, and according to famed driver and assistant competition director, Dorsey Schroeder, it is 'one of the most amazing events of its kind in the world.' Granted, that is a substantial claim coming from a man who made his mark in Trans-Am competition many moons ago. Schroeder, won the Trans-Am title in 1989 and was an integral part of the series in its final years of relevance. 'This weekend is the perfect combination of a famous circuit, a gorgeous backdrop with the village of Elkhart Lake for the Friday and Saturday Nationwide Concours d'Elegance and beautiful mid-summer Wisconsin weather,' Schroeder added. 'Plus we had a huge amount of cars for 2016 and a special feature race to pay tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Can-Am.' As Schroeder stated, the cars, mostly driven by gentlemen drivers who are undeniably passionate about their sport - were the main attraction. Over 460 entrants crowded the paddock. And unlike other events where spectators might be separated from stars who take the stage, crowds of car lovers milled through the paddock area, telling stories with owners and drivers and swapping insight with other enthusiasts. In all, another fabulous weekend of vintage racing is in the books at Road America and the results for the Sunday feature races are as follows: Group 4 - Classic Monoposto - Formula Cars trough 1972 Steve Grundahl, Blue Mountain, Wis., 70 Titan Mk 6Douglas Mockett, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, 61 Cooper T56 Joel Quadracci, Hartland Wis., 67 Brabham BT29 Group 5b - Historic Sports RacingFritz Seidel, Milwaukee, Wis.
