HRC was founded in 2005 by small group of sports car and vintage
racing enthusiasts who believed the Elkhart Lake Historic Race Circuits should
be preserved and protected for the enjoyment of current and future generations.
After an extended struggle with the Sheboygan County Highway Department, HRC
prevailed and the circuits were recorded on the National Register of Historic
Places.
Recording on the National Register affords a degree of
protection for the circuits but long term preservation requires an ongoing
proactive program with resources commensurate to the task. Events of the past
year make it clear that continued preservation of the historic circuits is
likely to exceed HRC’s current resources.
Since HRC’s inception, many like minded enthusiasts have
expressed an interest in supporting the preservation effort and participation in
HRC sponsored activities. To that end, HRC announces the formation of an
expanded membership organization open to anyone who shares our dedication to
historic preservation and enthusiasm for racing history or the simple joy of
owning and driving sports cars.
You are cordially invited to become a
member of the…
