A longtime amateur racer died in a weekend crash at Road America in Elkhart Lake.
The victim has been identified as Jim Victor from Davenport, Iowa.
Victor was killed after a single-car, test drive crash during this weekend's festivities. Victor was a longtime racer and was considered a top-level amateur driver. He raced in the SCCA’s Formula Continental class. These cars considered lightweight but put out plenty of horsepower.
KWQC-TV reports Victor was airlifted by helicopter to a hospital -- but did not survive. Road America didn't release any other information on the crash.
