TORA TASCAR Season 9 - Round 3 Driver's Briefing

Welcome to the third round of the 9th season of the TORA TASCAR Cup! This week, we head up to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin for "America's National Park of Speed," Road America.  Road America is listed with some of the finest racing courses in the world, and has hosted several different road-racing series in its long history.  The circuit was also born from a local SCCA chapter's need for a permanent racing venue in the 1950.  After using the streets of Elkhart Lake for a few years, state legislation was passed that banned all racing on public roads after the dangerous racing taking place at Elkhart Lake reached their attention.  Luckily for the local racers, a four-mile racing circuit had already been planned.  In 1955, ground was broke to build the racing circuit that we all know today as Road America and has remained virtually unchanged since then.
