EKN Trackside: 2014 Lone Star Grand Prix

[David ColeKeymaster]

This weekend marks the running of the third annual Lone Star Grand Prix. For the second straight year, the small city of Lockhart, Texas will welcome karters from all across the US and selected countries around the world – located just south of Austin. From shifterkarts, to the popular Chonda categories, the fields are expected to be full in all 10 divisions racing on March 1-2.

EKN is set to be trackside for the first time, bringing in-depth coverage of the event you will not see anywhere else.  Expect to see a number of videos, audio interviews, updates and photos on social media, and more.

For those heading to Lockhart and the LSGP, let us know if you are racing or attending as a spectator. See you all Friday.

Running Stock Honda Heavy, would love to do a post race interview with Rob again but would take some serious luck for that to happen. I guess things will be available here to listen to when we get back in front of a computer? Safe travels to all who are coming.

[David ColeKeymaster]

Thanks Brad. We will be doing many audio interviews throughout the weekend. Make sure you track us down and say hi. Best of luck on the weekend.

Such a great experience being able to follow the racing from home. Between Race Monitor and Livestream, it was very neat! As I said after tracking the Daytona roadraces, it’s almost as good as being there, and I didn’t miss watching in the rain one bit.

Thanks Linda. It was a great event, even with the bad weather on Sunday. The racers put on a show all weekend and Lockhart welcomed us with open arms. Looking forward to returning, and possible driving, next year.

A little on-board action from the Tag Senior Final:

Started at the Back due to an engine change after crank bearing failure during morning warm-up.

ran on the dry set up since I barely had time to change the engine and put on the rains.

Climbed all the way up to 4th place but for the many spins an 360 finished 6th. had a lot of fun though. :)

Thanks for the video

David, I see a discrepancy in the CHonda class from what I’ve been told.  I’m not there so I don’t know, but I was told Kristi Thompson won.  Were there later problems? In trying to compare to see where the discrepancy is you even have names listed in the pre-final that didn’t practice or qualify? I would check w/ my guys but they must all be out preparing for practice.

Keep on kartin’. llb
