The Texas Lone Star Grand Prix has been scheduled for March 2-3, 2013 and will be held in the historic Lockhart, Texas. Following the first event held March of 2012 in Dallas, the establishing street race will move to the city located 25 miles from Austin, Texas. The 2012 edition welcomed competitors from 18 states and five different countries, averaging 20 racers in most classes, with the same expected to contest the smooth and scenic streets of downtown Lockhart in 2013.
The 2013 Texas Lone Start Grand Prix will be contested on a 7/10-mile course in the downtown section of the over 12,000 populated city in Caldwell County. The streets are smooth, and a very technical layout featuring a 900 foot straightaway should provide high speeds and exciting racing. Lockhart was designated the ‘Barbecue Capital of Texas’, and the city is planning to host a Chili Cook Off competition, with plans of live music and other activities during weekend to welcome over 40,000 people to the area during the race weekend.

“The feedback on the 2012 race was overwhelmingly positive,” according to Co-Race Director and former IKF President James ‘Mac’ McMillan. “With the exception of the pavement issues that were unfortunately not corrected as promised, the racers loved the inaugural Lone Star Grand Prix. We were disappointed by roughness of the track but were really happy with the other aspects of the event. The support from the racers has been tremendous.”
Rick Fulks, Co-Race Director and Assistant Race Director at Rock Island Grand Prix, echoed McMillan's comments, “The racers loved the layout of the circuit and the event format last year. The rough pavement presented challenges but overall the event was a huge success in terms of racer satisfaction and safety. Our goal is to provide a safer circuit for 2013 while still offering the ability of high speeds. I am looking forward to helping with the 2013 event in a location known for its hospitality and smooth streets.”
