This year will be the twenty-fourth year for our ELVF race at Road America.  Last years entry list spanned the United States and Canada, from Massachusetts to Washington and California to Florida; 23 states in all. The 2009 ELVF will feature Stockcars.  1956 was the last time stockcars were featured at Road America.

    Registration begins Thursday.  Friday is a practice day, with each group getting two sessions. That should give you ample seat time to get reacquainted with the longest and fastest road course in North America.  In 2007 the enduro was changed to Friday afternoon and it was an overwhelming success.  Due to the good response from the drivers, we will continue with the enduro on Friday in 2009.   The Friday night “Welcome to the ELVF” party has become a favorite tradition. You can also enjoy the featured marque race car/streetcar concours in conjunction with the chili dinner.    
Saturday we have qualifying sessions and a sprint race.  Sunday mornings are for warm-up sessions and late morning the race sessions begin.  There is also lunchtime touring available to spectators and racecars on both Saturday and Sunday.

    Saturday if your schedule permits, you may want to participate in the original street course re-enactment tour.  Police escort racecars and streetcars on the original public roads that the first races were run on.  The featured marque cars lead the tour behind the police escort!  This is open to the public.  These roads are listed as a national historic monument.  Along with Watkins Glen these are the only two sets of roads to be listed as such.  We have been doing the re-enactment tour for eightteen years and it attracted over one hundred fifty cars in 2007.  The cars finish the tour and are parked on part of the original street course in the heart of the Village of Elkhart Lake.  This event has been thoroughly enjoyed by the participants and the spectators.

    Our Saturday evening banquet will be held at The Osthoff Resort, which borders the original road course and overlooks Elkhart Lake.   “Gather on the Green” held on the grounds of the Osthoff, is a classic car display.  Over 50 cars graced the field in 2008.  Music by Swingtime Band , cocktails, conversation and classics was enjoyed by all.  The show begins in the late afternoon and ends when the banquet starts.  This is by invitation only for a select group of cars.  If you would like to display one of your cars please contact us with your interest.  This is rapidly becoming a must do event.

    VSCDA tries to emphasize the right attitude in our vintage racing events.  The “Vintage Spirit Award” is meant to recognize the drivers that embodie the true vintage spirit.  The “Vintage Spirit Award” is a specifically designed trophy to be presented to one driver in each race group and will be presented at “Gather on the Green”
