Concession Go-Kart Track Photos

The Family Road Track operates single and double seat go-karts and has the widest appeal.  This photo shows the fun interaction of a group of go-karts that is lost when a track is built too long and go-karts get spread out and isolated.

A Slick Track is a more competitive adult track.  Drivers must use skill and judgment to apply brakes and throttle to negotiate this track successfully.  It also serves to get the more competitive guests off of the Family Track.

These raised concrete pit islands give attendants protection from being hit by go-karts and reduces employee injuries. 

The control console cabinet should be located where the attendant operating it can see the entire track to activate the speed control transmitter quickly in the event of an accident. The controls for the track signal lights, event timer, and  PA system are also located at this cabinet.

Go-karts should be cleaned with a pressure washer before repairs and maintenance are performed on them.   This concrete wash down area outside the maintenance building works well where it is screened from guests' view.

Indoor tracks with electric powered go-karts are gaining in popularity.  With a controlled environment and lower maintenance costs, these tracks can be very profitable.

Elevated wood tracks have been built in tourist areas around the USA.  They are not very well suited for a residential market with their high construction and operating costs. This track was a very bumpy ride.
