Diagram request
I request a track diagram. This link that shows exactly what I was thinking of. Please leave a message on my talk page with questions. It should be easy for any experienced drawer. Thanks! Royalbroil 20:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Dual categories
I kept this article in both "Category:Motor racing venues in Wisconsin" and "Category:Motor racing venues in Wisconsin" because it is nationally recognized and I wanted to see it with the Wisconsin tracks too. Royalbroil 12:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I meant "Category:Motor racing Venues in United States" and "Category:Motor racing venues in Wisconsin". *blushing* Royalbroil 13:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

AJ Foyt Accident
Someone should make an article about AJ Foyt's heavy accident here, I can't remeber the exact year, but it was pretty bad.

Adam Schatz Accident Someone should also make an article about the tradgic accident in the Summer of 2008 where Adam tradgicly died on the final lap of a cart race here —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.221.194 (talk) 21:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Location of Track
I'm tired of the past few changes to the location. Backspace - you said "To indicate a more specific location; please look at a local map of the Village of Elkhart Lake and the Town of Plymouth; only connection to Elkhart Lake is that the Elkhart Lake Post Office delivers mail." You must not have looked at a map of the area; Road America is closer to Elkhart Lake than Plymouth. "The only connection is the post office"??? Have you never been to Road America? They are very much connected, with the Concours d'Elegance, the old road circuit, and the many bars and hotels. As for Plymouth, there is very little connection. Personaly, Elkhart Lake and Road America are synonymous. Plus, what if a racer that did not know where the track is asked where it is? Would you say, "It's in Plymouth, Wisconsin" or "It's in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin". As for me, I would say Elkhart Lake because it might ring a bell because of the old road circuit. Royalbroil - thank you, I did not know the difference between a Village and Town in Wisconsin. The location should say Villiage of Elkhart Lake. --Md2 943 (talk) 00:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Backspace went through hundreds of racing articles making changes like this. My watchlist shows dozens of this same change. You're right, md, RA is all about Elkhart Lake from its origins on the roads surrounding the town. The former routes are all marked with signs. That's why I changed it back. So what if it's technically in the town which is an almost meaningless point in Wisconsin. Village is the proper term for Elkhart Lake.  Royal  broil  15:35, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Road America
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Road America's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "RR": From Speedway Park: "Race Results at Speedway Park". Racing-Reference. USA Today Sports Media Group. Accessed 2014-05-01. From Jockey Made in America 250:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:20, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect information
The production car lap record information is incorrect.

Feras Qartoumy's Corvette Z06 is not a production car. It's a very very heavily modified car with nearly 3 times the horsepower of most race cars. This car was fitted with twin turbos (with over 1000hp), sequential transmission, aftermarket body panels and aerodynamics.

This error should be fixed on this and any other page he is listed as a production car track record holder. 2603:8080:5700:4733:21A7:3E73:62CF:5228 (talk) 14:52, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
