AND WE ARE WIDE OPEN!
🏁 **I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU SEE WHO’S COMING!**
I know I was shocked when they called. 👀
The **Fall Fling** has become a celebration of karting’s history, its present, and where we’re headed next—and I cannot wait to share it with you!
When Marcus Pardue asked me about holding a vintage karting event, I was on board from the get-go. **Hell, I’m vintage!** 😂 What we call vintage today was brand-new to me as a young racer in South Florida in the late ’70s. I’ve loved this sport ever since.
What started as Marcus’s idea quickly became something special: the karts, the classes, the people—and **Biloxi, Mississippi!**
How many tracks let you look out at the Gulf from the pits? **Finishline Performance Karting does!** And don’t let that beautiful coastal setting fool you. This track demands your respect.
Home to the **2019 ROK Cup Festival**, its layout packs a lot into just over **0.83 mile**. Tight and technical. Fast and demanding. You’d better be up on the wheel to win here! New drivers will build skills, and experienced racers will appreciate every inch.
We’ve trimmed the original four-day plan into a **two-day Vintage and CIK event, October 30–31**, and preregistrations will help us adjust the schedule to accommodate the racers attending.
**RACERS: Plan a three-day trip to the Coast!** You might not be on track all three days, but you’ll want time to enjoy the area. TRUST ME. Ship Island, the Mississippi Aquarium, local markets and shops—and the food. **OMG, THE FOOD!** Bring a cooler if you’re planning to take fresh Gulf seafood home! 🦐
🔥 **AND NOW WE’VE ADDED SOMETHING SPECIAL!**
**Drive Your Line KartSport**, in collaboration with **Factory Kart and FZ Shifter**, is bringing a **FREE shifter kart demo experience** before their trip to Las Vegas for the SKUSA SuperNationals!
📅 **Friday, October 30 | Noon–7 PM**
🏎️ **65cc, 85cc and 125cc shifter packages**
👊 **Kart racers ages 9 and up**
🇺🇸 Plus the **all-new Factory Kart 4C four-cycle sprint chassis!**
How often do you get the chance to test-drive a kart straight from the factory?
**Contact us to book your demo slot or reserve at coastalkarting.com.**
Saturday is going to be JAM-PACKED, so **vintage racers—we need your preregistration!** Select **VINTAGE** and tell us what class you’re bringing. We can’t plan your track time if we don’t know who’s coming or what you’re putting on track.
We’ll do everything we can to accommodate everyone, but **preregistered entries will take priority when we build the schedule. That applies to CIK entries, too.**
🏆 Classes with **three entries or fewer** will not receive trophies, although we’ll still have something special for you. **All Kid Kart, Cadet and Junior classes are guaranteed trophies regardless of entry count.**
