TRI-C Karters, one of Southern California's premier kart clubs is proud to announce the 45th running of the California State Championships November 28-30 at Grangé Motor Circuit. The latest edition of this historic event, being billed as "Grangé Like Never Before" will be run partially under the lights and in the anti-clockwise direction (backwards) at the Apple Valley, CA facility. "Tri-C Is a great club and always put on awesome events here, but this will be the first time we run the track backwards." says Jim Granger of Grangé Motor Circuit. " It should be exciting to see, and even more exciting to race." The 2007 event had drivers from 10 states attend, coming from as far away as New York for the chance to win the fabled Champion's Watch.

The past five years have seen this Thanksgiving weekend staple move from track to track keeping things new and exciting for participants. This year Tri-C continued with that tradition adding something innovative in to the location and perfecting a class structure that has something for everyone. Starting at Kid Karts and 4-cycle all the way to International Rotax and Stock Moto the bevy of classes will open up many options for racers. "We are pleased to offer this kind of variety to the karters," states Robert Brooks from the Tri-C board. "We have taken some of the best classes from all the local race programs like Gatorz, Pro Kart, IKF Region 7 and added them into one great event. No where else can you find Kid Karts, Rotax, HPV's and Shifters all running together." As a thank you for lending them the best and brightest classes Tri-C is offering a $500 award to the visiting club who brings the most entries to this year's event.

 

There will be a free spaghetti dinner for drivers Friday night after practice. As always, overnight camping is free and encouraged.
