Subject:Lake Elsinore Grand Prix - Road Closures
Recommendation
ApproveTemporary Road Closures for the 49
th running of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix, Saturday,
November 11 and Sunday, November 12, 2017.
Background
The City of Lake Elsinore will be sponsoring the 49th running of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix
(LEGP), taking place at various venues throughout Lake Elsinore beginning Thursday, November
9th and culminating with off road races on Sunday, November 12, 2017. The Event Promoter and
organizer, Steve Miller of Dirt Series Off Road Racing, met with City representatives shortly after
the 48th LEGP with several goals of bringing fun and excitement back into the nostalgic race and
to “Bring it Back to the Streets.” The race course for the 49th running will bring LEGP through the
streets of downtown Lake Elsinore, while incorporating other street and off-road elements to the
5-day event.
Discussion
The previous LEGP events were held primarily on the 2
nd weekend of November and focused on
the racing aspect. This year's event is creating an experience for the racing enthusiast as well as
the Lake Elsinore residents or City visitor looking for something exciting to experience in the City.
Beginning on Thursday an All Chamber event will occur at the Lake Elsinore Casino; on Friday,
recognition of our Veterans will be incorporated in the City's annual Veterans Day event, on
Saturday, a new Grand Prix Fest downtown and the running of the Harvey Mushman Race down
the streets of Lake Elsinore. On Sunday, Racing continues through the hills of Lake Elsinore and
festivities at Lakepoint Park. The 49th running of the LEGP will have something for everyone to
enjoy.
The Race course will incorporate the hills and roads of previous tracks and will bring in the
nostalgic Harvey Mushman Race downtown, starting on Graham Street on Saturday, which has
not happened for many years. As a result, staff is recommending road closures for event staging
and festivities. Event Coordinator Steve Miller from Dirt Series Racing, the Sherriff’s, Fire, Public
