What is Indoor Karting?

Gone are the days when you might see boxes with wheels on the tracks of your local raceway. Yes, indoor karting is not as rudimentary as it once was. While it’s true that Apple isn’t making any karts (yet), this sport is one that’s rising in popularity. More indoor karting centers are popping up than ever before. But if you’re not sure what indoor karting is, you might not be ready to jump into the race just yet.

Karting and You

Basically, indoor karting is the sport of using powered karts to race around a track. With the streamlined design, these karts might look like they wandered off of the bumper cart lot, but they’re designed to move fast and to move around other karts that might be in the way of your crossing the finish line first. With karts for adults and for children, you can take the whole family to the indoor karting center to see who the fastest person in the family is.

Professional Indoor Karting

And for those who don’t want to settle for fun, there are professional indoor karts also. These karts can have a 9HP engine in them and be ready to fly by any other karts on the track. While you might not need this horsepower, it certainly is fun to try it out – just to see if your own car can keep up. Lighter and easier to steer, these indoor karts are certainly not road ready, but they will make for a fun time at the karting track.

With a professional indoor kart, you can enjoy these features:

• Honda motors
• Internal wet clutches
• Upholstered seats
• High quality steering wheels
• Hydraulic disc brakes
• Seat belts
• Roll bar protection

That’s right, these are little cars with big attitudes and even bigger motors. Want to move around the track in style? Indoor karts can help. Some of these karts have great torque, helping you move back and forth between the other karts without anyone realizing that you just won.

Family Affair

Yes, the indoor karting world isn’t just for those who want a souped up soap box derby experience. Indoor karts are also a fun way to spend some quality time with the family since there are karts for everyone. While you might want to let your kid win once in a while, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the power of your kart, up until the point that you let your youngest make it past the finish line first. (We all know you would have won.)

Indoor karting is safe, fun, and certainly thrilling for those who like to put their lives on the line. Why not give it a whirl?
