Not to be a Debbie Downer but these types of places don't make it very long. Better hurry.

Wait until they have a bunch of high school kids managing the track and kicking people out for driving to fast. I can understand tossing people who use these things like bumper cars, but if the cart isn't supposed to go faster than X mph there are ways to regulate that engine to prevent such speeds (and maybe put up a sign) because "keep control of vehicle" as a rule should not eliminate the capacity blow others away. They should require someone who can actually drive in the real world to supervise these races since they would be able to tell whether or not someone is in control of there vehicle. No crashes into walls, no bumping into others... under control in my book.

The only downfall of Sadler's Indoor Racing down in Olathe is the exhaust fumes...this place would kick *** since there are no fumes.

Have one near my place in KC that has been open since I moved here 7 years ago, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't anywhere new then. If done right, a place like this can make it.

Yeah, speed limits, no crashing into others or walls. Sounds like the streets of Des Moines. Sign me up! :jimlad:
