They have several styles of race cars to fit any needs,
although not on the track at the same time. The cars have 9
HP engines, not the 5 HP as other indoor race tracks. You
really have to drive the car and track, including drifting for
maximum speed. All cars have lap timers, so you can race
against everyone else without worrying about bumping,
squeezing and passing.
We have a special package price of $30 for three 10 minute races.
It is quite a bargain. You can find more information at
