Putsch navigates the course.
Late last year, Casey Putsch of Tiffin acquired a 1964 McKee Lola T70 race car badly in need of restoration. After getting the vehicle back in driving condition, he finished third in the Can-Am class of the Kohler International Challenge with Brian Redman. The race took place July 17-20 on the “Road America” track in Elkhart Lake, Wis. Putsch spoke recently about how he came to own the car and shared his experiences at the event. “I sold another vintage race car of mine that I restored, and the gentleman gave me some money for it, as well as trading me this car. It needed to be completely restored. It was a basket case. I got the car in December and it was an absolute disaster,” Putsch said. Beginning in February, Putsch worked steadily on the vehicle through early May. He took a break to wait for some parts and got back to work in mid-June. A number of people from Tiffin helped prepare his car for the race.
