Go Kart Racing in “The Streets of Lancaster”
The City of Lancaster held a 2-day event called "The Streets of Lancaster" this past weekend (Oct 10-11, 2009). It was a very well organized event that comprised of multiple classes of both amateur and professional Go Kart racers.
The "Boulevard" (Lancaster Blvd) was transformed into what looked like about a 3/4 mile road course. It was the first event of it’s kind in Lancaster (to my knowledge). It was a lot of fun. I own a 100cc Yamaha go kart myself that my entire family shares "time" in on occasional weekends out at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, as well as other tracks in Riverside, Apple Valley, and Fontana (California Speedway).
Top speeds were clocked at 78 mph (using a radar gun) heading down the main straight-away. These karts sit a mere 3/4" off of ground, so 78 mph is *really* moving!
It sure got the ‘ol "juices flowing". Made me want to suit up and join the fun – LOL.
