edpaffjr.comFriday night I had my first experience with indoor high-speed go karting at Competition Racing in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Kim’s family has always loved racing go karts and this track was on their list to try so I headed out there with them to enjoy the fun.
Suit Up
These high-speed karts really fly down the track, reaching speeds of up to 40 mph! The track isn’t very long but there are enough hairpin turns to keep it interesting. Eventually we were able to cover the 900 foot track in just over 20 seconds per lap. Each race was 8 minutes long, so there was plenty of time for a little bumping and passing.
On the Track
Kim’s brother Jason won each of our 3 races. I had a bad first race, which I blamed mostly on my car, and steadily improved in the second and third races. When it was all said and done I posted the third fastest lap in our group (20:466). Not too bad for an old guy.

We all had a great time and I know that I would love to race these karts again in the future.
