A Story of 4 Clubs
I belong to several clubs and no surprise to anyone, they’re all car and motorsports-related. Each has its own distinct activities, members and its own feel (or vibe if you’re from the ’70s like me).
Peckās Alley and Briggsā Bend
As the cars of the 1950 Elkhart Lake race negotiated āTedās Turnā a tight 110 degree right hander, the field then headed west on a gentle uphill run. The first marker Peckās Alley, is 0.1 tenth of a mile west of County J on Birchwood Drive (County JP, back in 1950 County X). The second marker on this part of the circuit is for Briggsā Bend at the intersection of North Turtle Bay Road. This right hand bend in the road is followed with a sudden 15 to 20 foot drop in elevation.
