The Southern Kart Club since its formation has held tradition, family, and the love of the sport at our core values. At the forefront of these, however, comes safety. SKC officials have been closely monitoring the forecasted weather conditions for our October national. We have come to a difficult decision that the 2026 October SKC/WKA National event has been cancelled out of an abundance of caution for our competitors, staff, and their accompanying crew and families. We hope to see you all in December at Daytona Kartweek for the next WKA round and in February at Roebling Road Raceway for the next SKC hosted event. Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.
