The California Lightning Sprints

The California Lightning Sprints are the premier winged Lightning Sprints series in the country. 2023 marks the Southern California based club's 29th season of operation. Lightning sprints are 1000cc super-bike powered full midget chassis that are one of the most exciting racing experiences in short track racing. The relatively small dirt and clay oval tracks (1/4 - 1/3 mile) and high speeds (in excess of 100 mph) make for easy-to-view, action-packed, high-intensity racing for everyone. Drivers must possess extraordinary reflexes, coordination, and setup skills in order to excel in these cars. Whether as a gateway series to full sized sprint cars or as a destination for the local racer who wants to hone their keen senses and competitive skills, Lightning Sprints is the biggest bang for your buck and has something for everyone. We provide a series that is professionally run, administrated and highly competitive.
