the CanAm's 40th anniversary historic weekend at Road America, Gordon
Kirby wrote,

"The concours sponsored by Road & Track in the center of
the village of Elkhart Lake provided everyone with the opportunity to
hoist a few at Siebkens Hotel bar, the longtime primary watering hole
for Road America drivers, teams and patrons."
