Class Sponorship opportunities are now available for LSGP 2013. The price is $1000 per class and class sponsorship selection will be on a first come first served basis. Early indications are that entry numbers will exceed those of last year's and most of last year's champions will return to compete. Please contact us at lsgp2012@gmail.com to sponsor a class.

The Best Western Hotel in Lockhart is providing a preferred rate of $95 for LSGP but the number of rooms is limited. There are also hotels in Austin, Buda, San Marcos and Bastrop but the Best Western is closest to the circuit. If you want
a room there please reserve early and mention LSGP for the discount.

No 250 Superkart class? WHY ? The fastest karts are 250 Superkarts.

I like Super Karts but I am not aware of them running on a track that is 7/10 of a mile long. If you guys want to run it and can meet the 20 entry minimum I am happy to take to the team.

rob, the track looks longer on the photo, if the track length is only 7/10 of a mile, i cant see any 250 superkarts racing.

Alan,
That was my thought.
We are doing a race at Texas Motor Speedway in July called Two Days/Two Ways
If you guys are interested in that send me a PM and we will look at options.

Reminder that early discounted registration ends for LSGP 2013 on 10.31.12 at midnight. Entry numbers look really good with the Stock Honda Light (S2) having the most entries so far. Enter online at www.lonestargrandprix.us.

Early discounted entries are now in. We are up 47% from last year. Thank you racers for helping to make LSGP 2013 a great event.

The price of entry increases again at midnight on 11.30.12. The current price is still a very good deal for two days of racing in the BBQ Capitol of Texas.

Anthony,
There are some small changes to the rules. The rules can be found at www.lonestargrandprix.us. Essentially, the TAG classes will follow TAG USA rules, Stock Honda will generally follow SKUSA rules with weight modifications and open tires. Chonda follows AKRA rules. The Mod and Yamaha classes will use the IKF rules that we used last year.
Look forward to seeing you guys.

Reminder: The cost of entry for LSGP 2013 goes up again on 12.1.12.

Entry numbers look really good and are well ahead of last years number for this point in the process.

As an example, we have over 20 entries in Stock Honda Light (S2). Our goal of 40+ entries for that class is very likely to be achieved.

Typical temperatures for the race weekend are in the 50s.

What will Friday move in be like? Can I drop my trailer and leave it? Will there be any sort of organization to the move in? Thanks!

Patrick,
We are still working on the details of move in but yes you will be able to drop your trailer and leave it. We will have security in the pit area.
