The development, growth and evolution of any racing event are often fueled by the people behind the scenes and the racers who fill the fields. After the third running of the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix, it became very clear that this festival of karting has an extremely bright future. The City of Lancaster is behind this race 100% and this was vividly evident this past weekend as the event organizers went above and beyond to ensure that the race was a success but on and off the track. Superkarts! USA was brought in by the City to raise the bar on the program and the focus by Tom Kutscher and his staff was to set a new foundation for the race, making sure it was a success for both his racers and the City of Lancaster. Every driver we spoke with praised the new track design, and the common opinion was that it was very unique and extremely fun to drive. The racing itself was thrilling, as a result. Having a packed house always turns up the volume and the city’s estimates put the crowd at a record 35,000. The atmosphere was electric and the enthusiasm from the crowd was infectious. The impact on the downtown businesses was massive with record sales days being reported by many shops and restaurants.

There was a palpable level of excitement on the streets of Lancaster, California on Friday morning, as final preparations were being made for this coming weekend’s Grand Prix. The city’s downtown core was taken over on Thursday morning and crews worked throughout day and late into the evening, hauling haybales, plastic barriers and fencing into place around the 0.8-mile temporary circuit. The third annual Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix may fire up officially on Saturday morning, but only thanks to months and months of planning and management. After all that work, it’s finally time to go racing in Lancaster.
