Ladies & gentlemen! Start your very small engines!

The Elkhart Grand Prix returns to The City With A Heart this weekend, and Mayor Tim Neese says everyone’s looking forward to the family-oriented event. He spoke with Mark McGill on Michiana’s Morning News, Thursday:

The course is six-tenths of a mile, and will create some detours around town with the race and construction projects.

The track opens Friday at 5:30 p.m. with morning practices on Saturday, followed by qualifying and racing events throughout the day.
