The tourdeRoadAmerica
The tourdeRoadAmerica “bike ride to fight cancer” is three
fundraising activities that take place during a weekend of auto rac-
ing at the Road America race track in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
• A fun, family-oriented bike ride on the race track,
• A silent auction of cycling gear, racing memorabilia, and
items from local establishments, and
• Cancer outreach and education to the tens of thousands of
race weekend attendees.
The beneficiaries of the event are the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the
Austin Hatcher Foundation, and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic
(Sheboygan, Wisconsin).
The Ride: The ride will take place on either Friday or Saturday eve-
ning, after racing activities have concluded for the day. Race fans,
families, and bicycling enthusiasts who make a donation will ride
the beautiful and historic 4.0 mile road racing circuit with their race
car driving heroes from the American Le Mans Series and other elite
auto racing series. About 400 participants will bike up to ten laps as
the sun sets over Elkhart Lake. The ride is open to cyclists of all abil-
ity levels and all types of bikes.
Drivers need to keep in top physical form and most are serious
cyclists. Avid cyclists enjoy the twists and turns of the race track. And
families enjoy the chance to ride in a controlled event, free of traffic,
road hazards, and stop signs. All around, it’s a great fit and the
highlight of many cyclists’ season.
The Silent Auctions: Cyclists and race weekend attendees have the
opportunity to bid on cycling gear, racing memorabilia, and items from
local merchants. The auctions takes place in the main spectator thor-
oughfare, and culminate just before the start of the Sunday, August 21
main feature, the American Le Mans Series race.
Outreach and Education: The tour’s ride headquarters is the loca-
tion for ride registration, the silent auctions, as well as cancer out-
reach and education activities.
In 2004, the RuSport #10
Champ Car, driven by rookie
sensation A.J. Allmendinger,

ROAD AMERICA
Road America is the world’s fastest permanent road course locat-
ed in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin - midway between the cities of Mil-
waukee and Green Bay and only minutes from the shores of
Elkhart Lake and Lake Michigan.
Road America has been the host and a
supporter of “the Tour” since 2004,
and contributes track time, services,
promotions, and personnel time to
the event.
Situated on 640 rolling acres of Wis-
consin’s Kettle Moraine, RA has hosted
races since September of 1955 and cur-
rently hosts over 400 events a year.
Road America is one of only a hand-full of
road circuits in the world maintaining its original configuration
being 4.048 miles in length and 14 turns. The track features
many elevation changes, along with a long front stretch where
speeds approaching 200 mph (300 km/h) may be reached.
Although Road America as a whole is extremely challenging, “the
kink” tests both machine and its driver or rider to the limit.
AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES
The American Le Mans Series is the premium brand of motorsport
in North America, featuring high-tech, relevant sports cars from the
most prestigious automobile manufacturers in the world. Its unique
four classes of competition showcase exotic, open-top prototypes
and sophisticated production-based GT cars, all competing on the
track at the same time. The American Le Mans Series competes at
the premier road racing tracks across North America and at select-
ed temporary street circuits in major urban markets.
The American Le Mans Series is the only motorsports body in the
world that features multiple street-legal alternative energy sources -
clean diesel, and E10 and E85 cellulosic ethanols as well new
hybrid technologies. Through partnerships with diesel fuel supplier
Shell, VP Racing Fuels and EPIC (Ethanol Promotion and Informa-
tion Council), the American Le Mans Series has taken the leader-
ship role in motorsports for the furthering of alternative fuel tech-
nology and use. It also illustrates deeper the Series’ relevance to its
list of prestigious manufacturers and affluent consumer base.

Road America has been the host and a supporter of “the Tour” since 2004, and contributes track time, services, promotions, and personnel time to the event. Situated on 640 rolling acres of Wis- consin’s Kettle Moraine, RA has hosted races since September of 1955 and cur- rently hosts over 400 events a year. Road America is one of only a hand-full of road circuits in the world maintaining its original configuration being 4.048 miles in length and 14 turns. The track features many elevation changes, along with a long front stretch where speeds approaching 200 mph (300 km/h) may be reached. Although Road America as a whole is extremely challenging, “the kink” tests both machine and its driver or rider to the limit. AMERICAN LE MANS SERIES The American Le Mans Series is the premium brand of motorsport in North America, featuring high-tech, relevant sports cars from the most prestigious automobile manufacturers in the world. Its unique four classes of competition showcase exotic, open-top prototypes and sophisticated production-based GT cars, all competing on the track at the same time.
