What does the MKA contribute to the community?

The track was built to help promote community involvement, & family-friendly fun for everyone.  The MKA wants to help bring the track back to this focus. For kart racing and other community-based activities.


Mississippi Karters Association, Inc is a Not For Profit organization, operating solely on proceeds from member fees, donations,  sponsorships, and class entry fees.


Springridge Raceway's intended purpose is for KART RACING ONLY.  There are no rental or concession karts. Contact Drive Your Line Kartsport about kart sales and possible arrive and drive options at Springridge Raceway. 

 We are unable to permit any other vehicles or disciplines on the track surface.  No Exceptions!

Racing is only part of what the MKA is and Springridge Raceway is about.

Racers are family.  Racing is the DNA that binds together lifelong friendships and brings families together in a sport all ages and abilities can enjoy. Our MKA members are active together on the track and off. Racers help each other and help new racers and race families come up to speed as competitors.


Kart racing teaches many life skills. responsibilty, mechanical skills, sportsmanship, integrity and teamwork.


 Karting also spurs the interests of future Engineers, Pilots, Managers and Business Owners and of course cultivates the dreams of larger motorsports career fields.

WATCH US GROW!

What the MKA needs to make Springridge Raceway a safer and a better place for everyone.

 Our track is known as Springridge Raceway, built in the early 1970s. Since then much has change in karting. However, the Springridge Raceway hasn't kept up with the times.
The track is in need of upgrading and major improvements. Starting with resurfacing and fencing the entire facility. Several safety measures need to be implemented. Safety impact barrier (see photo above), soft zones and curbing are a few of the enhanced safety needed. The addition of an integrated observation deck/flag stand and scoring tower. 

As our track improves, our racer base and function with a increase!

At this time the MKA attracts racers from  as many as 7 different states! our social media averages 30,000 hits/views in 28 days. Our club membership has grown drastically in the past 4 months.  


We need your help to keep growing!

Help us make the Sprngridge Raceway a place for everyone!
