Villa Interlagos Backs UMW in 2012

Elkhart Lake, Wis. March 1, 2012 - UMW is proud to announce the Villa Interlagos resort is backing our 2012 SCCA racing efforts. Located a mere mile from Elkhart Lake, Villa Interlagos offers six bedrooms overlooking scenic Crystal Lake. With historic racing artwork and memorabilia on the walls, Villa Interlagos is the perfect place to stay for an entire race team! E-mail us for rates and rental information.

Menomonee Falls, Wis. FEB 29, 2012 - It is with some regret that we have to announce that we are semi-retiring our 1977 All-American Racers Eagle DGF Formula Ford from SCCA competition and restricting it to vintage use only. Modern tire grip and HP outputs have made us rethink what we have been doing with the car, and from here-on-out it will be mainly running historic events.

With that said, we are happy to announce UMW is venturing into the Formula 500 ranks with a 1998 Invader QC-1/Rotax, formally driven by Bob Gelles, Ted Simmons and most recently by former WISSOTA sprint car ace Gordy Vogelaar. The car is very unique in that it features Scorpion suspension, Van Diemen nose and cockpit surround and Raptor sidepods.

F500 is the class we nearly started our car racing venture with back in 2004, and should combine Rick's snowmobile tuning skills and Jacques' old karting skills in a manner they haven't been used prior. Look for us in-action again in the coming months!
