High-performance racers must have a valid driver’s license.
Kart-racing drivers whip around Velocity 17’s 2,000-foot racetrack seated just 2 inches off the ground in electric Bowman Storm race karts. After a mandatory 10-minute safety briefing and optional high-five, racers can put their karts’ 12-horsepower engines, hand-built chassis, and Bridgestone racing tires to the test as they zoom past red-and-white borders on an indoor, European-style track designed by Formula 1 professionals. Though standard racers’ speeds are capped at 22 miles per hour, license-toting high-performance racers can enjoy unrestricted speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. Along with DOT-approved helmets for racers, Velocity 17 boosts its safety bona fides by equipping karts with rollover bars, five-point harness restraints, and velcro-lined steering wheels.
