Please Join HRC for our Dinner Events to be Held in May, July, and September

Annual Dinner Events

Dinner Events are typically held three times per year concurrent with the vintage race weekends in May, July, and September in Elkhart Lake.  All three dinner events include a pre-dinner reception and a full course sit down dinner followed by a Program featuring luminaries from sports car racing past and present.

See below for an example of our previous Fall event. This event was a great success with an excellent speaker at a new venue. We are in the planning stages for our 2023 events, so please stay tuned to these website pages for further details about our upcoming events.

The HRC fall dinner and program will be on Thursday, September 15 at The Throttlestop in Elkhart Lake concurrent with the Art on Wheels Vintage Festival at Road America. The speaker will be Dan Binks, one of sports car racings most decorated crew chiefs.
