Myrtle Waves and Broadway Grand Prix: A Family Business Since 1976 | Myrtle Moments

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

A Visit Myrtle Beach profile of the Lazarus Entertainment Group, the family behind Broadway Grand Prix: third-generation marketer Christina Lazarus Wachs tells how her grandfather started the Grand Prix in 1976 on the south end of Myrtle Beach so regular people could race go-karts, pioneering the family track industry — and how the business grew into today's Broadway Grand Prix (opened 2018) and Myrtle Waves Water Park, with a fourth generation already asking for a summer job.

Key takeaways
  • Broadway Grand Prix opened in 2018; the family's karting roots reach back to 1976
  • The founder's idea: let 'regular average Joes' race go-karts — a pioneer move in family amusements
  • Three generations of the Lazarus family currently work in the business

Since 1976

The family-business film explains the local empire: the Lazarus family's grandfather started the Grand Prix in 1976 on the south end so regular people could race go-karts, pioneering the family track industry — the business that grew into today's Broadway Grand Prix (2018) and Myrtle Waves. Third-generation Christina Lazarus Wachs tells it herself.
