When seasonal depression causes your car to lock all its doors and choke down the keys, your body will need a new way to get its driving ya-yas out. For $36, today’s Groupon gets you a day of four racing sessions and a yearlong membership (a $90 value) to Sykart Indoor Racing Center in Tigard. Experience more velocity than a rousing round of Velocity Ball as you apply your hard-earned Mario Kart skills to real life.

Indoor racing delivers all the competitive action of outdoor racing without the rain, snow, and rampant product placement for delicious, refreshing products such as Mountain Dew Slammin’ Blue Blast. Sykart Indoor Racing puts you in control of a 6.5-horsepower SodiKart with as much neighing vigor and towing capacity as nearly seven horses. The friendly staff will also outfit you with a fully hygienic racing helmet. During four 10-minute races, you will test your abilities on Sykart’s brand-new indoor track against as many as 10 other cruisers. Compete for the honor of your family sigil, for the sheer jazz of victory, and for the fastest time—which will graduate you to the praiseworthy 9-horsepower kart, capable of achieving 45 mph and beyond.

Much more thrilling than pushing quarters into a stationary arcade racing game, Sykart driving delivers the visceral experience of revved-up gasoline, rubber tearing against track, and wind rushing through a sanitarily protected helmet. Your membership also guarantees you:

• a free hygienic helmet liner
• a free birthday session to be used within one week of your special day
• All-day 10-minute races for $10 Monday–Friday
• $5 off normal endurance race

All four sessions must be used in a single day. Activate your membership at Sykart Indoor Racing Center. Remember to bring a valid driver’s license or permit before driving indoors.

Reviews

The Beaverton Valley Times featured Sykart Indoor Racing Center: > * Sykart attracts a predominantly adult crowd, though they’ll cater to children for birthday parties and events. – Kristen Forbes, Beaverton Valley Times

One Citysearcher and a Yelper give it four stars: > * The staff were all great, and most accommodating of our crazy crowd, several of us have already been back. – Erin O., Yelp > * It was so much fun racing the carts around the track. It is not cheap to race the carts, but it is sure worth the price. – Alyssa Elting, Citysearch
