Sold Out! Spring Dinner Sold Out
Welcome to the first event of 2026 for the Elkhart Lake Race Circuits Preservation Society. This first event, The Spring Dinner Program will be held at Historic Siebkens May 14, the evening before the SVRA Spring Vintage Festival at Road America.
Speaker Update: A change in Spring program was required and the Bob Birmingham program on Jim Jeffords has been moved to the September dinner during the VSCDA Fall Vintage Race Weekend. We are pleased to announce that Peter Cunningham has agreed to speak at the Spring dinner and will present a program on his race career, and the history of RealTime Racing.
Peter Cunningham first entered the gates of Road America as a spectator at the 1980 June Sprints. Having discovered autocross just one month prior, he quickly decided to pursue a career as a professional driver. Over the next four decades, he earned numerous championships across various disciplines, including ice racing, performance rallying, and sports car road racing.
In 1987, he founded RealTime Racing, beginning a 35-year partnership with Honda and Acura. Alongside RealTime driving greats including Pierre Kleinubing, Michael Galati, Ryan Eversley, and Dane Cameron, the team secured 15 World Challenge Drivers’ Championships and 15 Manufacturers’ Championships.
Following his retirement from professional racing in 2016, Peter turned his focus towards the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and in 2017, he finished second overal, won his class setting a new Open Class record, and was named Rookie of the Year. He successfully defended his title in 2018 and 2019, again setting two additional Open Class records. And in 2018, he was inducted into the SCCA Hall of Fame, becoming the youngest individual to receive this distinction. Peter has not “slowed down” and will compete in the July vintage races in one of his classic Acuras at his “favorite track”.
Peter is in his 11th year as a Road America Board Member, and we are honored to have him speak at our spring dinner. And finally, our thanks to all who signed up early for the dinner as we have filled every seat! Unfortunately, the food has been ordered, and we are unable to add seats.
The agenda for the evening is:
5:00 PM – Cash Bar
6:30 PM – Buffet Dinner followed by the Program by Peter Cunningham
The Siebkens staff will serve the fabulous Wisconsin Buffet dinner of certified Angus short rib beef tips and gravy, herb roasted chicken breasts with jus, roasted vegetables, whipped Yukon potatoes, mixed leafy greens with Siebkens’ dressing, and dinner rolls. Dinner also includes a coffee station and desert.
