The July event is the big one. It is a great event with upwards of 400 race cars entered across ten race groups. Groups 2 and 8 are Porsche heavy with many a 356, 914-6 and 911s. A couple of the more contemporary groups have been known to have 935s, 956/962s and an occasional 917k. The event is known to draw close to 35k spectators.
There is a race car concours Friday night in the village of Elkhart Lake that is a must attend. Roughly 100 of the competing cars get a police escort into town and back and thousands of people flock the streets to see the parade into town. Saturday night there is a street cars concours in downtown and both nights include live bands and a lively party atmosphere. I've attended every one since 1992 and participated every year since 2000.
For any car person I think it's something that you have to add to your bucket list. Even my non-car friends have a blast attending.
