With additional Pre-registrations coming in, we have been working to bring discounted lodging options for the VKA Fall Fling.

Holiday Inn Express in Late Oct will have great rates acorss the street from the beach at this time is booking at $117 and up. This location is about a block away from the track with easy traffic to and from the track and hotel. I have always found it best to call the hotel directly to book as they will provide you the best up to date rates. (228) 436-0201

Most of thes beach locatioins do not book ROOM BLOCKS unless they are secured up front.

The only hotel on the beach is South Beach Hotel and they had 3 rooms left yesterday at well over $200 a night. While its across the street from the track and a very nice place, it migt be more than many are willing to spend.

If you would like something a bit ore upscale but not bank breaking I have those options as well and would be happy to send them to you directly upon request.

Most of the casinos have hotels. Harrah's, Beau Rivage, Hard Rock, Margaritaville, Treasure Island are all within a few minues drive to the track.

Everything you need to know about the VKA-Fall Fling can also be found at coastalkarting.com. from pre registration to full event information and accomodations.

Again if you need any help in booking your accomodations please feel free to contactme at anytime. Christy Kendall-Cox at 330-400-1507

1-First VKA event to be live streamed! YES. we're doing al we can to offer the best possible promotional opportunitiesfor the sport of Vintage Karting!

4- We are currently working with local and regional media, both television and radio to provide featured segments on their local events updates and coverages.

The new year is here, folks! Time to kick the tires and light the fires on the 2026 season.
Here is one of my go-to lodging options for the Mississippi Coast:
https://www.facebook.com/BeachviewVacationCottages Phone number is listed in the flyer, ask for Barney. Tell him we sent you.

Cottages are about 15 minutes away from the Finishline Performance Karting Track, depending on traffic. Not to mention a beautiful drive up the coast.

Please do not contact the track for information about this event, practice dates, or other points of interest. Contact us directly for any assistance you might require. This is a very busy attraction on the Gulf Coast, and we are very fortunate to have the privilege of racing here at an affordable price at a beautiful facility.

Good Morning everyone!

Sorry, I had a slight slowdown in my get-along recently, as I needed my knee replaced. I'm back, and we are pushing forward.

I have now had 3 people ask me if this event was happening...YES, it is. There is no reason to assume it's not.

www.coastalkarting.com is a one-stop shop for information, classes, rules, PRE-REGISTRATION, Pit Space reservations, and more.

If you do not see the vintage class you are looking to participate in, let us know, and we will see what we can do to help.

This event will have certain segments live-streamed. We will have media exposure, and we will have other classes on the roster to not only help with numbers and participation, but most importantly, cross-promotion to another market that has never seen a vintage kart.

I will continue to feature a VKA class every week. Please consider pre-registration, as this makes everything run smoother for all involved.
Again- www,coastalkarting.com

Join us for an unforgettable coastal karting adventure, where you can experience the thrill of go-kart racing and kart racing excitement. It's a perfect opportunity for kids in karting to learn and have fun, and even explore the nostalgia of vintage karting!

www.coastalkarting.com is where you will find all of the information you will need for the VKA Fall-Fling. From pre-registration, pit reservations, pit pass purchases, to lodging information and contact information. Remember, this is a first-of-its-kind event!

Coastalkarting.com is proud to be the operations side of the VKA Fall Fling - Biloxi Beach Grand Prix with promoters Little River Promotions and Marcus Pardue.

We are currently working on a few practice dates at the track in Biloxi. The hardest part is making sure we don't encroach upon another VKA date or conflict with other races in the eastern side of the country. (Please, do not call the track. Track staff or management are involved and won't be able to provide any details)

You are welcome to contact me directly 330-400-1507 or DM to this page.

THANK YOU!
