From the reviews
Fun time. Definitely do two races. Cars very fast and require physical control to hold them on the track. Or go slower and just have fun.
My partner and I had so much fun here. Got the 2 rides per person and with membership when buying the spots came up to $120. Bit up there but you get a total of 12 laps each ride and for so like 30 bucks for 12 laps is a pretty great deal. You get some sock to go over your head. And get to wear their helmets.
I was looking for a sports bar and restaurant near buffalo grove Chicago area and I came across this place. I decided to check it out and was really impressed by the drinks and food served there.
Great racing. Two indoor tracks and the carts feel fast once they flip a switch. The track we were on had a great straight away. There are a lot of safety procedures that the staff explained wonderfully. You get a head work but need to bring it back. Oh and they need your information. Like all of it.
