The Columbus Lowndes Recreation Authority announces the 4th annual Dixie Road Race- September 11th, 2010 at Propst Park in Columbus, Mississippi.

“More than 52 years ago, the city of Columbus and many local volunteers planned and built Propst Park,” states Roger Short, Executive Director of the Columbus-Lowndes Recreation Authority. “Opening day was celebrated with a big parade and a formal dedication that featured Major League Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Mel Ott. In the `60s and `70s go-kart racing was a regular and well-attended Labor Day event. We are confident that bringing go-kart racing back to Propst Park will generate community support.”

To ensure a successful race, the CLRA has invited Carr Racing—the original promoters of The Columbus 100 Labor Day kart events to manage the race. Judge Pat Carr and his son Brian have more than 40 years of racing experience and own the Rebel Raceway located in Saltillo, MS. The Carrs have been commissioned with planning an exciting and safe race where karting enthusiasts of all ages can get up close to racers near the pits and at exciting race points around the challenging .7 mile, 15-turn, paved road course.

 The race purse is $6,000.00 guaranteed with pay out to the top 5 places per class (based on 10 karts minimum per class).   If weather permits, there will be the opportunity for numerous practice laps on Friday, September 11th, along with more than 200 cumulative miles of high-performance kart racing on Saturday, September 11th.  In the event of inclement weather, Sunday, September 12th is designated as the rain out day.
