From the reviews
This is an awesome track to race!! We get to call this place our home track and we love it. The kids have a blast, always good racing and lots of fun. Here you will have great racing, see kids playing together, and lots of laughter. It’s the place to be when karting in the Midwest.
We have race there two seasons now and wouldn’t change a thing sure there have been some bumps along the way and as of recently mike made a poor decision but that doesn’t mean that this track should suffer he has began to right his wrongs and I hope he will better himself the kids are treated very well at this track…
We call this track home and proud of that fact! We have 4 grandsons currently running here and we spend every other weekend at Plessis! Great place to come and try it out if you are looking to get into racing and also the perfect place to come out and just spectate. Low admission fee and great racing action all night!
Best track hands down! The kids enjoy it, clean environment, awesome staff, and always has a great track! They also have good food at the concession stand! Also if you go there just as a spectator the stands are very nice and you can see from wherever you sit!
