This week, volunteers will turn downtown Elkhart into a race track.

Elkhart is once again hosting the Riverwalk Grand Prix.

The track will be just over a half mile long.

Over 100 go-kart drivers are expected to buckle in for a series of races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The race is a tradition that mayor Tim Neese was eager to bring back since he was elected; which, this year, includes a mayor's race at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Click here to find the full schedule on their Facebook page.

“I've been test driving several models and I have people, who in the wee hours of the night have been modifying the other mayors' vehicles,” Mayor Neese said. “They'll hear about it, but it'll be impossible for them to win.”

Organizers are still looking for volunteers.

They're invited to an informational meeting, happening Thursday at 7:00 p.m. at the Nibco Water and Ice building.
