Road America To Restructure International Challenge
Elkhart Lake, Wis., November 1, 2005–The vintage committee of the Road
America Board of Directors has selected the Sportscar Vintage Racing
Association (SVRA) to serve as the sanctioning organization for the 2006 Brian
Redman International Challenge (BRIC), July 13-16, 2006. The SVRA succeeds the
Vintage Sports Car Drivers Association (VSCDA) which Road America recognizes
for the value it brought to previous BRIC events.
The BRIC is an internationally acclaimed, four-day event that hosts the
largest contingency of competitors, vintage automobiles and enthusiasts in the
country, with participants from Europe, Canada and Australia. In the last
several years the event has shown significant growth and the circuit expects
that trend to continue. The change in sanctioning body is part of the
track’s efforts to attract more vintage automobiles and a broader base of
participants. According to George Bruggenthies, Road America’s president and
general manager, the committee was focused on creating an even stronger event.
“The BRIC at Road America has always been a favorite of vintage enthusiasts
and we look forward to working with the SVRA to enhance Road America’s
vintage-racing legacy,” he stated. The SVRA’s role during the event is to
manage racing activities, while Road America will continue to serve as event
promoter and registrar.
For over twenty years the SVRA has offered tightly regulated, wheel-to-wheel
racing for men and women who own and maintain vintage and historical cars. The
organization sanctions eight vintage events across the country each year. More
information about the SVRA can be found at www.svra.com.
Road America, a 628-acre, yearround motor sports facility, celebrated its 50th
year in 2005. In addition to major race events, Road America offers the Suzuki
Supermoto School, corporate ATV and karting programs, and exceptional
hospitality. For more event and season information, visit www.roadamerica.com
