High-tech go-karts race head to head while zipping around professionally designed racetracks at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour. When only an inch off the ground, that speed gives the sensation of going much faster, simulating the thrill of an Indy 500 vehicle. With 14 race tracks across the country, Pole Position Raceway has learned to deliver the best driving experience possible. It starts with their karts, which are electric and boast 18 horsepower with the same ultra-slick, F1-inspired tires used in the competitive kart-race circuit. The track is equally important. They worked with the pros to get a surface that is just slick enough to allow for some slide, while still providing enough traction to optimize high speeds around hairpin turns. They also made their tracks long enough to accommodate up to 12 karts and allow drivers to show off passing techniques. The karts are set up with individual transponders connected to a state-of-the-art timing system to offer lap times accurate to the hundredth of a second. Races are scored by fastest lap time, so whether you cross the finish line first, or last it's all about who is fastest around the track. Pole Position Raceway requires that drivers attend safety briefings on rules and regulations
