The Racing Season Starts to Heat Up – Street Car Takeover and Lights Out Events Get Under Way This Weekend

Despite a few big events already in the books for the 2023 season, this weekend brings a couple big events to the table that signals the racing season is getting underway.

The first one is Lights Out, on its fourteenth year at South Georgia Motorsport Park. With several classes based on the drag radial tire the event became famous for, Lights Out has developed a reputation for setting records to aim for the rest of the season.



The second event, about five hours south, is the opening weekend of Street Car Takeover at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Celebrating its tenth year, Street Car Takeover will run a combination of roll racing and twelve different drag racing classes over two days.
