4LT GS RoadsterCorvette Racing Notebook for the Generac 500 at Road America, August 19-21
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. - Fifty years ago, two events occurred that would forever change the course of road racing in America: Chevrolet introduced the new small-block V-8, and the good citizens of Elkhart Lake, Wis., opened a new road racing circuit in their quiet rural town. Chevrolet and Road America have been inextricably linked ever since.
The seventh round of the American Le Mans Series simultaneously celebrates the 50th anniversaries of GM's small-block V-8 and Road America. Since 1955, the small-block has become the world's most successful production-based racing engine, and the 4-mile Road America course has become the track that every road racer cherishes.
