 June
16-17, 2011 (Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin) – While fast-moving Grassroots racing
action takes place almost every weekend, this weekend on the spectacular
four-mile rolling, twisting, turning Road America road course, the 56th edition of the Chicago Region SCCA WeatherTech June Sprints
were
held. Nearly four hundred teams
competed in the first leg of what’s known as the “Triple Crown” of sports
car club racing.
 This year enhancing our total amount of wins from years past,
Hoosier Racing Tire drivers stood on the highest step of the podium a total of
eighteen times, in twenty five classes available. A couple of these classes are
sanctioned classes in which Hoosier does not participate in, at this time.
Any
driver will tell you it could not be done without wonderful teams, starting
with the tire servicing done by Hoosier Tire Midwest, out of Plymouth, Indiana,
working in a timely, organized and effective manner, getting drivers out on the
track racing. Hoosier Racing Tire
corporate also added valuable engineering and technical support throughout the
week.
