JUN<strong>2010</strong><br />
America hosted its first Sports<br />
Car Club <strong>of</strong> America (SCCA)<br />
national race weekend.<br />
Since then, Road America<br />
has grown to 640 acres and millions<br />
<strong>of</strong> dollars in improvements<br />
have been made. But the track’s<br />
original 4.048-mile, 14-turn configuration<br />
has never been<br />
altered. In addition to the permanent<br />
road course, the facility<br />
includes a 1-mile<br />
supermoto/karting track.<br />
Road America has become a<br />
favorite circuit for racers worldwide<br />
who relish the challenges<br />
<strong>of</strong> the undulating landscape and<br />
the high speed turns and curves.<br />
Fans return year after year to<br />
enjoy the park-like atmosphere,<br />
fantastic food and wheel-towheel<br />
competition by the world’s<br />
fastest riders and drivers.<br />
In its 54 seasons, perhaps<br />
Road America’s most popular<br />
race weekend is the annual June<br />
Sprints. Set for June 17-20 in<br />
<strong>2010</strong>, more than 400 amateur<br />
competitors race in 24 classes<br />
during the Sprints, one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
SCCA’s largest races and the first<br />
in the Triple Crown <strong>of</strong> Racing.<br />

Tucked into the rolling hills<br />
<strong>of</strong> Sheboygan County just<br />
at the northern tip <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Kettle moraine State Forest, the<br />
Road America race track is a<br />
<strong>Wisconsin</strong> sporting legend.<br />
The vision for this<br />
Midwestern motorsports icon<br />
grew out <strong>of</strong> the dreams <strong>of</strong> a man<br />
named Clif Tufte. A trained civil<br />
engineer, Tufte spent almost a<br />
year planning one <strong>of</strong> the world’s<br />
finest and most challenging road<br />
courses. His dream became a<br />
reality in April, 1955 when the<br />
track was carved out <strong>of</strong> 525 acres<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Wisconsin</strong> farmland. On<br />
September 10, 1955 Road<br />
