Summer Dinner
Welcome to the second event of 2026 for the Elkhart Lake Race Circuits Preservation Society. This second event, The Summer Dinner Program will be held at The Throttlestop in Elkhart Lake, on Thursday July 16, concurrent with the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend with Brian Redman at Road America.
The evenings guest speaker is Justin Gurney, President and CEO of All American Racers, the legendary company co-founded in 1964 by his father, racing icon Dan Gurney, and Carroll Shelby. Under Justin’s leadership, All American Racers has continued to evolve, expanding into the aerospace arena while honoring its rich motorsports heritage. Justin will share personal stories about his father’s remarkable racing and business career, offering HRC members and guests a unique perspective on one of America’s true racing legends.
The agenda for the evening is:
5:00 PM – Social Hour (Cash Bar)
6:15 PM – Buffet Dinner
6:45 PM – Artwork Auction
7:00 PM – Program Start Time
The buffet dinner will once again be served by Three Guys and a Grill! The dinner includes marinated pork tenderloin, garlic shrimp skewers, mac-n-chesse, garlic parsley red potatoes, grilled seasonal veggies, Caeser salad, dinner rolls, apple pie, and a coffee bar.
To assist you in making your reservations for the dinner, there are, as always, three ways that it can be done. Either by: (1) downloading the reservation form and mailing it in to HRC, PO Box 51, Elkhart Lake, WI, 53020, (2) By making use of HRC’s online registration capability at www.historicracecircuits.com and (3) You will also receive, by snail mail, an invitation that can be mailed in as in the past.
A short administrative note: Due to rising costs, we raised the dinner fees a modest amount. We have resisted making the change but need to make sure we cover our costs.
This promises to be a very interesting and informative evening, so make your reservations as early as possible as seating is limited. As we found out with our May dinner, our events are gaining in popularity are “selling out,” so don’t delay!
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on July 16th!
