Next weekend's "Road America Grand Prix" activities at Elkhart Lake, Wisc. include United States Formula 2000 National Championship races both Saturday and Sunday. They should go a long way toward determining this year's National Champion.

Twelve-lap (48-mile) races are scheduled at 1:10 pm Saturday and 9 am Sunday and a total of 64 points are available, meaning any one of the top-six in the standings could be the leader after the weekend action.

Aaron Justus of Northport, N.Y. leads Ireland's Peter Walsh by 29 points, but Canadians Marc-Antoine Camirand and Billy Asaro are close behind, as are Ian Lacy of North Las Vegas, Nev. and Tony Buffomante of Streamwood, Ill.

Wednesday and Thursday are "test" days at the 4-mile circuit, with Friday practice slated from 8-8:30 am. Qualifying for Saturday's race is set for 12:10 pm Friday. Qualifying for Sunday's race is at 8 am Saturday.
