Race date - Aug. 20, 2000

Sunday, August 20, found us at the East Lansing Kart Track on a beautiful sunny day that was perfect for racing. On our arrival we found kids of all ages, the oldest we spoke to was 69 years, powering their way around a beautifully maintained asphalt race track. A wide variety of classes provide drivers of all ages and experience a chance to compete.
