There’s a lot of things to keep in mind when deciding where you want to go go-karting. How safe is the track, and how much fun can you have at the facility. Fortunately, Dulles has an incredible track that is great for all experience levels. Go-karting is one of the most fun things to do in the world. Whether you want to go with your family, friends, co-workers, or even date you can be sure that you’ll always have a blast at the facility in Dulles.
Safety First, as They Say
Your safety is, more than likely, incredibly important to you. That statement could even be doubled if we’re talking about your loved ones. That’s one of the most remarkable things about Dulles’ indoor go-karting track. They take your and your loved ones’ safety almost as seriously as you do, and they have taken many precautions to ensure that everyone in your party can have the safest time possible.
First off, and this is pretty standard, they’ll give you a helmet before you get into the kart. This is to ensure that your head is safe throughout your entire ride. The kart itself is weighted in such a way that the risk of tipping or flipping is reduced, and in an effort to make the odds of a tip or flip as close to zero as possible each kart also has a roll bar.
The course itself is also designed for safety. The guard rails that line the track are reflexive. That means that they are designed in such a way that they’ll reduce the impact even if you crash into the rails at full speed.
Each kart has great, dual disk brakes which helps you stop very quickly as well as brake lights, so other drivers can see that you’re slowing down or stopping. The facility can also slow and even stop the karts so if there’s something dangerous on the tracks they can stop everything from moving until it is removed.
Cranking up the Fun Factor
Fun is also very important when going go-karting. After all, you probably aren’t going go-karting for your health. The facility in Dulles is also aware of this, and that’s why they ensured that their karts are just as fun as they are safe.
Their Italian third generation electric go-karts have 20 horsepower. That enables the karts to go up to 50 miles an hour, which is a pretty fast speed to fly around the course. Their course can hold 10 karts at a time, so if it’s a race you want you’ll more than likely be able to get it.
The differential axles used by these karts makes it easy for anyone to handle the course no matter their experience level. Whether this is your first time go-kart racing since you were a child or you’re a weekend warrior you’ll still have an incredibly easy time whipping these karts around the track, and because everyone is on a mostly level playing field you may find yourself facing up against an unlikely adversary while zooming around the track trying to get first place.
Unwind the American Way
Go-karting is as American as apple pie. It was invented in California in the 1950s and has only grown since. If you want to see the modern state of go-kart affairs the best place to do so in town is Dulles’ indoor go-kart racing track. No matter who you bring you’re very likely to have a blast while collecting some memories you can hold onto for the rest of your life.
