Road America: Always Amazing

 Road America is perhaps America's most iconic road course and one of the world's most notable road courses in motorsports.  It features a laundry list of racing, from the WeatherTech Sports Car Series, NASCAR and IndyCar, to AMA Superbike and many other things in between.  It plays host to many events in the spring and summer now, including the NASCAR Cup Series in 2021 on the July 4th weekend which was highly successful.  I have gone to Road America four times in my life, in 2012, 2016 two separate times (IndyCar and Sports Car) and in 2019.  My basis for this is really all of them to provide how they have continued to get better and better and keep improving each time.  I am hoping to go again in the next couple of years to the Cup Series race.  Here are my thoughts of the race track, its amenities

 Road America is noted as a 14 turn road course about a length of 4 miles, and features a massively long front stretch, a long back stretch, a carousel corner, a corner named Canada Corner and a massive infield.  That infield features victory lane, a disc golf course, a go kart track, and a lot of amenities.  Patrons can go to a host of different stands or the fan store for merchandise and there will be several other places with merchandise as well.  All the concession stands feature something different through the course so one concession stand may have different food from the next but it is a great thing because the variety is amazing and the food is as well.  There is always something at Road America for someone to try and all of it is good.  With that, how is everything else at the track?  

 Typically for Road America non-race weekends they have a disc golf course but having seen it prior it is a pretty neat thing to see up front when there isn't a race weekend at the track that the disc golfers can do.  Also there is a go kart track as well that features a track layout that is a approved track for karting series world wide.  Having driven that track a couple of times in the past it is a pretty fast, pretty technical course and one that tests limits pretty steadfastly for any karting driver.  The track also provides what amounts to a shuttle to the different locations and seating arrangements around the track so your really never miss much through the time at the track.  If you are going to the track too, dependent on the series, you should be able to have a free paddock/pit pass or you will have to get one in advance but it is a good place for meeting drivers seeing tech inspection and just seeing the trailers and cars up close.  All in all typically how is racing at Road America?

 It is a pretty exciting time most races.  The best races tend to be the NASCAR races there due to the aggression able to happen with the drivers and ability to drive the cars harder and risk take more than the Sports Cars and IndyCar series'.  IndyCar is also a very solid race year in and year out with restarts being very wild with a lot of passing a lot of the time.  Sports cars at Road America are just the genuine style as well and they are probably the most open of the series as they feature different brands everywhere on track and the ability to do a lot of the time better with availability than most series at being accessible to the public.  Road America provides some of the best accessibility overall and it is very much worth the ticket to go.

 All in all, Road America through the many times I have gone provides some of the best racing but some of the best all around entertainment at a track.  It is iconic but it provides exceptional services.  All the amenities are terrific and plentiful, and you always have a terrific day of it at the track.  I would highly recommend a visit times over and it is a place I want to go back to in the future years to come.
