 The first day of action for the 2012 Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix went into the books Saturday afternoon. The Southern California street race held qualifying and the opening round of heat races, counting toward the final round of the Superkarts! USA California ProKart Challenge. Temperatures over 100 degrees challenged the 125 drivers and the event staff throughout the day. The fast and confined course on the ‘Boulevard’ district of the City of Lancaster provided its own challenges for the drivers. Thus far, Fritz Leesmann and Matt Johnson have tamed the beast that is the 0.7-mile street course.

 The City of Lancaster and Superkarts! USA will unite once again to host racers from all across the western half of the United States for the 4th annual Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix. The Southern California city will open up the ‘Boulevard’ for a three day festival, featuring the final round of the California ProKart Challenge around a temporary circuit on the city streets September 14-16. Not only will the event be a prime location for preparation for the upcoming SKUSA SuperNationals XVI, the 10 categories featured on the weekend will wrap up the six-event championship chase that began back in February, with a $65,000 championship prize purse on the line.
The event will just be a formality for Jimmy McNeil who has positioned himself as the soon-to-be champion in the S1 Pro Stock Moto category, sponsored by Extreme Karting/Vemme Kart. With three victories on the year, McNeil will look to earn his fourth 2012 win in Lancaster to secure the title and prepare for the upcoming SuperNationals. Ryon Beachner sits second in the standings, while Peter Abba is third. The same can be said for Matt Johnson in the TaG Senior division, sponsored by Leading Edge Motorsports. A winner in three of the five previous events, the veteran will face another strong field in Lancaster trying to deny him from his fourth victory. 2011 class champion Travis Lowe currently sits second in the standings with Devin Lindsey in third. The title chase is not yet completed in the Phil Giebler Racing-sponsored S2 Semi-Pro Stock Moto category. Matias Podboj has led the standing the entire year, opening up the season with a perfect round one at Buttonwillow. Michael Leib has put on the challenge in the second half of the season, out-scoring Podboj in two of the last three events. The difference is just 178 points between the two heading into Lancaster with a number of drivers expected to take part, which could play a big factor in the final standings.

 As the August 31st deadline for all reserved drivers to take advantage of our priority pre-entry program has come and gone, we will now begin to coordinate directly with wait-listers in each of the SOLD OUT classes (S2, S4, TaG Junior, TaG Senior and TaG Master) to register them into the opened spots – one by one – and IN ORDER OF THE OFFICIAL SKUSA WAIT LIST. All wait-listers are date and time stamped as to when they sent their request to be put on the wait list and this is how they will get in, as our most recent press release has explained. If you are on this wait list, PLEASE STAND BY and wait to be contacted by our office staff. It will happen as soon as possible, and extra emails and phone calls to check on your spot on the wait list will only delay this process. There are more than 200 drivers on the wait lists at this time. Please be patient, and watch your email! Please do not try to register online without the official signal from SKUSA to do so. Anyone trying to register ahead of their spot on the wait list will be VOIDED from the system and moved to the back of the line.
Anyone wanting to register in the classes of KZ2, S1, S5 and TaG Cadet can do so now when ready. These classes are still open and below their class caps at this time.
