Go-kart racing returns to Superior for first time in nearly a decade

SUPERIOR, Wis. (Northern News Now) – Over in Superior, about a mile past Pattison State Park, it was a bit noisy on Saturday.

After having to cancel the original first points race, Go-kart racing is back in Superior after nearly a decade.

Hundreds of fans and racers showed up at the newly renovated Black River Motorsports for a day filled with racing.

43 Go Karts competed in the event, from as young as five years old to teenagers participating.

This spring, a group came together and worked to revitalize the track.

“We’re bringing back the go-karts, we’re racing on dirt. We’re just pushing to bring more kids back into racing, and if we don’t start young, then we’re not going to get them to go back to Superior and Proctor, all the local tracks,” said Donnie Lofdahl in May.
