SPEED Review- Lotus Elan 26R – 1960s “Battle Royale” with VSCDA

August 14, 2024 6995 Views

Casey Putsch was honored by the president of the VSCDA with an opportunity to drive his prized 1965 Lotus Elan built to 26r specifications by Don Hoevel Racing. Casey provides a full 360 Cam and stereo mic experience of the entire Genius Garage Invitational (named in honor of the educational charity Casey founded in 2013) at Grattan Raceway in Michigan. While the VSCDA is a club racing series, this particular invitational event was organized and pre-planned to exemplify the spirit of a by-gone era, but was not an actual racing event in much the same way WWF is pre-planned and not real wrestling. This is Casey’s first time driving a Lotus Elan and he is very careful to take care of the car. Casey starts from the back of the pack and narrowly finishes first after a multi lap “battle royale” with an Alfa Romeo Duetto. Three interviews at the end with Alex Rorke and other VSCDA members highlight the incredible camaraderie and sportsmanship of vintage racing at its finest. Follow the VSCDA on Facebook below! This organization is an incredibly warm and kind point of entry to historic racing for all.
