Inside a climate-controlled, state-of-the-art facility, Pole Position Raceway’s high-performance European go karts zip around a quarter-mile road course, just an inch off the ground, at speeds up to 45 mph. Each electric go kart features quick acceleration and responsive handling, giving drivers the chance for close competition in heart-pounding races of up to 12 guests that last about 10 minutes. The resulting adrenaline rush makes it clear why head-to-head go kart racing is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. While the effect is anything but child's play, little ones certainly aren't left behind—those at least 6 years old and 50" tall can zoom around in special kids go karts.
