Small town race, big fun

By Jamie Jorczak/Times Sentinel columnist CNHI Zionsville Times Sentinel Wed Sep 12, 2012, 11:42 AM EDT

Watching TV and movies as a kid, it seemed to me that every town in America held an elaborate go-kart race, complete with punk kid who tries to cheat, dramatic triumphant conclusions and giant gold trophies.

In real life, I had never seen one.

But my own children are lucky — an elaborate go-kart race (possibly with dramatic conclusion, punk kid optional) will be within walking distance of our front door this weekend.

Nearly a year ago, Whitestown residents Denny Marsh and Mike Prescott, as well as Mike Hornyak of Columbus — all drivers for the Southern Indiana Racing Association — proposed plans for the Whitestown Grand Prix to the town council.

See Wednesday’s Times Sentinel for the full story.
