When Eisenhower designed the Interstate Highway system, he envisioned a lawless, death-race arena where only the fastest could avoid being killed by mechanical gulls. Experience a thrilling fraction of his racing dream with today's Groupon: for $20, you get three go-kart races plus a helmet with sanitary liner at Sykart Indoor Racing Center in Tigart (a $47 value).

Sykart driving delivers the visceral experiences enhanced by real gasoline, true tire skids, and all-natural wind rushing through a sanitarily protected helmet. With today’s deal, drivers will get to flex their karting muscles on the indoor track, which allows the 5.5-horsepower Honda kart to soar without climate-related restrictions. The friendly staffers will outfit all drivers with a fully hygienic racing helmet. Then, during three 10-minute races, kart captains will test their abilities against up to 10 competitive cruisers. Compete for honor, for the sheer jazz of victory, and for the fastest time—which graduates you to the praiseworthy 9-horsepower kart, capable of achieving 45 mph and beyond. Drivers also receive a printout after each race, which includes official lap times, race times, and the number of times their kart was mistaken for an oversized kitten.
