The IMSA races came to Road America for their annual visit on August 5-7, along with the usual rain.
It was great to see Robert Wikins racing again and Ryan Eversley racing in two different series during the weekend.
The Porsche Cup raced in the most rain but the big IMSA Sunday race was a race from lap one with a bit of rain thrown in.
Wayne Taylor Racing in their DPI Cadillac took the pole position for the Sunday race but lost the lead a few times. In the final laps with a pass on the grass, they got the win for Ricky Taylor and Philipe Albuquerque!
Fun weekend with a VERY hot Saturday of racing with the temperature reaching 92 degrees.
Enjoy a look at some of the fun and one of the last looks at the DPI cars as they are now. All the cars next year will be new.
The new Cadillacs and Acuras look fast and beautiful. Can't wait to see the final look of the cars.
Thanks,

This blog is going to be short and sweet! There is so much going on around here during retirement! Wait until you all retire and are as busy as me and having as much fun too!
On July 14-17, 2022, the WeatherTech International Challenge with Brian Redman will feature some of the Dan Gurney stable of Eagle race cars!!!!!! Very, very cool idea of Ron Nelson's! Checkout his website www.elkhartlakesracingmuseum.com for more event information. To see a bunch of Eagles together will be awesome thanks to Ron Nelson, Justin Gurney and the Dresang family. Jacque Dresang still runs an awesome Eagle or two and they are beautiful. One is Mark Donohue's.
Dug up a few photos of the old days at Road America and the Milwaukee Mile.
Enjoy, and buy your tickets now for a great weekend at Road America!
Thanks,
