Road America Wisconsin, greatest victories history?

A friend of mine has been approaced to write a book about Road America in WI. He's looking for compelling stories to document. Stories of great victories, come backs, under dogs, or local guys taking on the big teams in the tracks 60 year history.

I thought I'd see if any HAMBers know of good stories surrounding Road America.

Thanks

 

no good stories. met A J Foyt there and made a few laps in a 1964 corvette. it's a beautiful track and always enjoyed going there

forgot to mention....my favorite place to watch a race was thunder valley

 

Find the local SCCA Region for the track and they probably have several old time members who raced or worked the events including the CanAms in the hey days.
Got to race there 1 time and some sections was a wet your pants thrill for a novice.

 

Old Road and Track, Car and Driver, Sports Car Graphic may be a good source. Might try to get a contact for Michael Lynch, a pretty well respected auto racing historian that is very involved with the Monterey Historics.

 

Don't forget some sidebars for brats, roasted corn on the cob and beer! Gary

 

Try to get ahold of Fred Wacker Jr. His father was instrumental in the beginnings of that track from what I am told. Fred Sr raced the 8 ball Allard.

 

Thanks everyone.
