Unser Track Gives Go-Kart Racers An Indoor Thrill

DENVER (CBS4) - For people facing the challenge of organizing a fun party in Denver, whether it be a corporate event or a teenager's birthday, go karts might be your easy answer.

At Unser Racing & Entertainment, located at the intersection of Interstate 25 and Highway 36, the karting can be done year round. That's because their speedy carts cruise around an indoor track.

The carts are designed to reach speeds of up to 60 mph, but the maximum speeds they can reach on the Unser track is 45 mph.

The track is an average width of 18 feet and a monitor tells you how fast you went. As many as 10 carts can be on the track at one time.

"We teach you how to drive and have a good time," said Unser spokesman Scott Shirk.

Unswer provides helmets, and there are lots of safety precautions that are made to keep things safe. However, sometimes some drivers can get a bit out of control and need to get black flagged.

"If they get a little too over-aggressive or hammer into people we have to warn them," Shirk said.
