All on-track CCS and Formula USA activities at Road America were delayed due to heavy fog limiting visibility in the Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin area.

Practice was due to have started at 8:00 a.m. local time with racing scheduled to begin at 9:45 a.m.

At 8:45 a.m. there were signs that the fog/mist was beginning to lift. The four-mile, 14-turn Road America circuit was still wet from overnight rains and the mist/fog, but Formula USA/CCS boss Kevin Elliott said, “We will get all the races in today.”


After officials sent Pro racers Dave Ebben and Scott Harwell out on track to evaluate the level of visibility from a rider’s perspective, Formula USA/CCS practice started at 11:15 a.m. on a damp and drying track.

In addition, Elliott revised his previous statement, saying, “We will get all the money-paying (purse and contingency) races in today.”
