 Michiana Raceway Park, one of the nicest kart racing facilities in the country, is heading into their third straight week of competition by hosting a World Karting Association Manufacturer’s Cup Championship event, one of the largest attended kart racing events of the year. These events routinely attract racers from all over the country to attend.
“We expect a large event this weekend and invite anyone from the area out to attend and see what kart racing at National events is all about,” said Garry Lobaugh, President of Michiana Raceway Park. “While this will be a great event showcasing some of the country’s best kart racers, it is also a great family environment.”
Located only miles from downtown South Bend, Michiana Raceway Park has been a haven for local kart racers for several years and continues to undergo upgrades and improvements to make it one of the nicest karting facilities in the country. With a family friendly atmosphere, complete with several viewing areas and a playground, making it an inviting place for both racers and spectators.
“We put a lot of pride in our facility,” said Lobaugh. “Though this weekend will play host to several hundred serious kart racers, we offer karting schools and karting leagues for people of all ages and experience level. Anyone can get started in racing here!”
The World Karting Association (WKA) is the largest sanctioning body for kart racing in North America with several championships up for grabs for karters of all ages. The Manufacturer’s Cup Series is one of the WKA’s most competitive series with many classes ranging from low-powered kid karts to high-powered 125cc water-cooled racing karts.
Michiana Raceway Park is anxious to begin the festivities of the event with move-in scheduled for Thursday and practice beginning on Friday. Saturday and Sunday will be chock-full of racing action and promises to showcase the talents of some of the best kart racers and future racing stars in the country.
