Three story go-kart track in Clinton Township? YES PLEASE! Here's some new video to get you fired up:

The Indy Skytrack as it will be called is currently under construction on one of the old go-kart tracks at the entertainment center. The track will go more than 1,500 feet in all and you'll climb three stories over the vortex.

"You're dropping pretty quickly in a small amount of space, so it should really add to the racing excitement," he said.

The track is also getting comparisons to Mario Kart.

The new track is expected to open in May 2024, however, if construction progresses quickly into the winter, they could open early in April.

Editors notes:

  1. David said the tracks top speed will be 20mph - making this a more family friendly go-kart experience. We're wondering when (or if) Ryan Logan will take a ride on it (we all know his fear of bridges and heights...will this freak him out?)
  2. I've been a go-kart fan for as long as I can remember. We always love heading over the Mears, Michigan to go camping...and experience all the go-kart tracks there. Maybe it's the off-roading around the area, but man that place is packed with tracks (none like this one at CJ Barrymore's though)
  3. I'm wondering if we can convince David to put some baby powder down on the track in the turns so we can go full drift mode and send it through the corners (ever done that? It's crazy in a Go-Kart)
  4. Since they're comparing it to Mario Kart - we've got to dress up like Mario and Luigi, right? They should have a Mario Kart night with all the costumes.
  5. Yes, I've been thinking about this track A LOT!

Last month we shared some early construction photos of the Three story go-kart track in Clinton Township - and even then it looked amazing!
