Finishline Performance Karting
About Finishline Performance Karting
Finishline Performance Karting brings a legitimate racing experience to the Biloxi strip. Unlike the slow, bumper-boat style tracks often found in beach towns, Finishline operates a fleet of Sodi RT8 gas karts. These are European racing chassis capable of speeds up to 50 mph, offering precise handling and real acceleration. Located directly across from the Gulf of Mexico, the track features a technical layout known as "Coastal Curves" that challenges drivers with hairpins and sweepers. It serves as the primary adrenaline fix for visitors to the nearby casinos (Beau Rivage, Hard Rock) who want a break from the slot machines.

Detailed guide
The Karting Experience
- Adult Karts (Sodi RT8): Gas-powered 270cc engines. These karts are heavy but fast and require a driver's license or ID for proof of age if questionable.
- Requirement: Drivers must be 14 years old and at least 60 inches tall.
- Note: The age limit is strictly enforced alongside the height.
- Junior Karts: Smaller gas karts that are speed-restricted.
- Requirement: Drivers must be 8 years old and at least 48 inches tall.
- Double Karts: For parents and older children.
- Driver: Must be 18+ years old and meet the adult height requirement.
- Passenger: Must be 48 inches tall. (Again, verify your child's height—48" is the cutoff for both driving a Junior kart and riding as a passenger).
Operations & Specials
- Arrive & Drive: The facility operates on a walk-in basis. You do not typically need to book ahead unless you have a large group.
- Specials: They often run wristband specials or "all you can race" nights on weeknights (e.g., Tuesday/Thursday), which offer unlimited racing for a set window of time. Check their social media for current offers.
