DATE EVENT INFORMATION

September
10-12
2010
VSA's Lake Michigan Chapter will assemble at The Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival, the annual VSCDA race at Road America. Most sports car and road racing drivers consider this the finest road racing facility in the United States. It has been rated the best in terms of availability of great food - especially bratwurst and corn. In and around the town are plenty of fine restaurants for those so inclined. As a 4 mile long track, the longest in the country, it winds through beautiful kettle moraine country with hills forests and every kind of turn imaginable. There are facilities for camping in the track itself in in the surrounding area. There are luxury resort hotel in Elkhart Lake also. We will communicate later to determine interest and where we should part our cars and gather at the track. If you have never been there, I encourage it. Bring the family. If you have been there, nothing more needs to be said. The Road America site: http://www.roadamerica.com/ Michael Illyes

VSA's Lake Michigan Chapter will be meeting at Meadowdale, an old race track that folded around 1970. The remnants of that old facility are still there, but the forest and weather have mostly inundated the track and turned it back into a forest preserve. Once a year they have been having memorial car shows on what was once the main straight. There is a nice variety of vintage, classic, hotrods and old race cars that make their way to this event each year. We had nine or ten members last year and two of our vintage Volvo's were part of the show. We walked the old facility, took many pictures and enjoyed good conversation on what turned out to be a beautiful Fall day.
