Saturday and Sunday at Road America’s WeatherTech International Challenge

EmailElkhart Lake, WI — There was a collective sigh amongst everyone in the vintage racing community when Jim Pace walked away from an astonishing incident where his 1974 Shadow DN4 caught air and flipped Saturday afternoon at Road America. Though, once the dust settled and everyone caught their breaths it was time to go back racing. Look for a full report in the upcoming Sept/Oct issue. For now, enjoy the visual treats from Saturday and Sunday thanks to VM photographer Scott Paceley.
