The Buffalo Springs Lake Grand Prix Brings Competitive Offroad Racing To Lubbock This Weekend - LoneStar 92.3
Off-road motorcycle racing takes over Buffalo Springs Lake this weekend, August 29th and 30th, as the WTXRC Extreme Racing Circuit brings the Buffalo Springs Lake Grand Prix to Lubbock. The event is organized by RC410 and the WTXRC Racing Family, and racing will happen on the west end of the lake.
The event is organized by RC410 and the WTXRC Racing Family, and racing will happen on the west end of the lake. The start line, scoring area, and racer sign-up will be set up just past the bridges near Campground B, so if you're heading out there expecting the usual quiet weekend scene, plan accordingly.
Buffalo Springs Lake draws a steady crowd of Lubbock folks looking to get out of the city without driving far, and this weekend that crowd will share the grounds with competitive off-road riders. The Grand Prix is one stop on the WTXRC's 2026 racing schedule, meaning this isn't a one-off experiment.
For people who had a camping trip or a lazy Saturday by the water already planned, the noise level near the west end is worth knowing about before you load up the truck. For racing fans, it's a chance to watch competitive off-road motorcycle action without leaving Lubbock County.
Buffalo Springs Lake sits just southeast of the city and doesn't host events like this every weekend.
