Southern Kartway Racing 1st and 3rd Saturday's of the Month

Home of the SHOWDOWN RACE and ORIGINAL HOGG RACE!! Danny Prince started building Southern Kartway in June 1994.
(261)

It took him a year to build to finish the place and hold the first race in July of 1995. Him and his family have made countless friends over the years at this little place they call home. If you haven't made it to SK you need to make the trip to watch some good racing!

May be a long one…

Our cup is overflowing! Daddy doesn’t have a FB, but I will make sure he sees what
You all have posted. ❤️

God gets all the glory for this! It’s probably been a month or more with no rain and the locals can tell you that this track will get a little dusty on any given Saturday night. But God!!!!!! He gave Daddy strength and wisdom to prepare a track for all of us that held together for a lot of karts and we praise 🙌🏼 His Holy Name!

Thank you to each and every single person who came, watched from home, participated, worked or offered a hand! You all are so special! You didn’t have to, BUT YOU DID! ❤️

You guys brought this old backyard track to life this past weekend and shined a spotlight on it and we are very humbled and our hearts are grateful! 🙏🏼

To the ENTIRE 🧡MAXXIS 🖤CREW Maxxis Kart Racing North America You guys are the best, no comparison! Top Tier and if only people could see the backside and how y’all work so diligently to make it all come together! It takes a village and y’all got a good one! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this special event! Running races can be tough at times, but you made it look so easy!

To Daddy’s Other girls Wendy, Katelyn and Bridget thank y’all!

To all the CHAMPIONS…..Congratulations! You all done a great job and thank you for putting on a great show for us all! You all are the real MVP’s! A racetrack is a field of dirt without its racers! When y’all roll in it comes to life and for that we thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

In honor of the late James Moore of Myrtle Beach, SC, we are proud to present a one-time-only Big Kahuna Tribute Trophy.

The Big Kahuna originated from James Moore’s “Moore Money Karting Series”, where it became a legendary traveling prize throughout the Southeast and Midwest. In 2010, the tradition evolved into what is now known as The Maxx Daddy.
For 2026, we bring it back—one last time—to honor the man who started it all.

This one-of-a-kind trophy will be contested by only 20 elite adult drivers:

* Top 10 points accumulation from Prelude and Maxx Daddy
* Top 10 points accumulation from Prelude and Super Heavy Maxx Daddy

There is no entry fee to compete.

A guaranteed $2,000 purse will be paid back through 10th place.

This is more than a race.
It’s a tribute.
It’s a legacy.
It’s the return of The Big Kahuna one last time.

We’ll see you this weekend at the Maxxis MaxxDaddy.
