An Incredible Assortment of Cars Featured at the WeatherTech International Challenge With Brian Redman Vintage Event

30 All American Racers Eagles Made the Trip to Road America

Article

ELKHART LAKE, Wis., – July 17, 2022 – The WeatherTech International Challenge with Brian Redman at Road America concluded after three days of excellent vintage racing action, exhibitions, Concours awards, and activities for fans. The event has been heralded as one of the most significant vintage racing events in the country. 2022 ushered in Dan Gurney’s All American Racers Eagles as the featured marque, with the largest contingency of Eagles on the property (30 in total) for fans to see.

The cars, driven mainly by drivers who are undeniably passionate about their sport, were the main attraction. Unlike other events where spectators might be separated from stars who take the stage, car lovers milled through the paddock area, telling stories with owners and drivers and swapping insight with other enthusiasts.

Brian Redman served as the Grand Marshal for the event and had nothing but praise for this mid-summer tradition. “This is a fantastic event,” commented Redman. He has been coming to the track almost every year since 1972 and just cannot get enough. “This has turned into the finest road racing facility in North America; what a thrill to see so many Eagles in one place.”
