Has anyone tried the indoor electric carts? I have K1 Speed just a couple miles from the house. We would head there with our son's for some racing but they changed the minimum age/height rules that blocked our kids (9 yr olds). My Son, now 11, meets the minimum physical requirements (height) and I'd like to go back.

I like the electric motors for indoor racing and they pull really well out of turns. Too much throttle and they will swap ends. In the 30 or so races I've done I had 2-3 carts that ran out of juice with just a couple laps remaining. What I really like about K1 is the high quality track surface. No crazy bumps/ripples and lots of grip.

These machines definitely favor the slim/young. I've raced against some young teens that couldn't weigh more than 120 lbs soaking wet and they took lines and carried speeds I could never reach.
