Locals get a taste of drag racing at Star Racing

AMERICUS – More than 30 business owners and local officials attended the recent Business After Hours event hosted by Star Racing on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Held from 5:30-7 p.m., the event allowed Star Racing to present and expand on plans for the future Americus Motorsports Complex (AMC) to the locals in attendance.

The future Americus Motorsports Complex will function as a multi-use world class facility with a dragstrip, road race course and training centers for both cars and motorcycles. The complex, to be located on South Ga. Tech Parkway across from South Georgia Technical College, will also feature a technology park consisting of multiple motorsports-related companies. In addition, the site will feature “autominiums,” condos with ample garage space underneath for cars and motorcycles, to accommodate racers, corporate executives and other visitors.

During the Business After Hours event, visitors were given the opportunity to pose on various high performance drag racing motorcycles that were on display. They were also given tours of the machine shop and engine building room, as well as both the engine and chassis dyno areas.

Star Racing founders and co-owners, George and Jackie Bryce, are intent on educating locals on the significance of AMC for everyone in the community. After establishing Star Racing in Americus more than 30 years ago, the Bryces are dedicated to the success of the Sumter County community and are excited about the potential economic impact that AMC will have.
