Grand Prix New York

Grand Prix New York Racing (GPNY) is set to wave the green flag at the only indoor karting circuit in the New York metropolitan area. New Yorkers finally have a good excuse to postpone the rat race for some real on-track action.

However, GPNY is touting itself as much more than the typical bare-bones karting facility, the type that is usually stocked with musty helmets, wheezing karts and a perpetually out-of-order soda machine. GPNY's 120,000-square-foot "racing, entertainment and corporate conferencing" facility is targeting New York-based companies looking for innovative team-building exercises in a business-friendly environment.

The circuit itself is comprised of two 24-foot-wide, one quarter-mile-long kart tracks. For special occasions, the tracks can be combined into a single half-mile course. Six feet of elevation changes and a wide variety of fast and slow corners (many of which are named after world famous corners like Spa's Eau Rouge and Monza's Parabolica) should guarantee that a hot lap is much more exciting than your last boardroom meeting. GPNY uses Sodi RX7 gas-powered karts, powered by 6.5-horsepower Honda GX 200 four-stroke motors. Top speed is 40 miles per hour, and each kart boasts a real-time onboard timing system. A wraparound bumper is there for anyone who subscribes to the Days of Thunder ethos that "rubbing is racing."

Time: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Arrival/Registration: 10:00AM (if you're late you may miss track time)
All equipment is available at the facility, but if you've got a helmet, bring it along with long pants and a long sleeve shirt.

They do have racing for teenagers, but you best give them a call. I think they may have some restriction for non-licensed drivers. Regardless, bring him!
