Indoor racing at Competition Racing is an upscale, adult entertainment
facility located across from the Argosy Casino. We bring the
thrilling, high speed, precision racing of European-style karting to
the metro Cincinnati area specializing in corporate and private
outings, but also provide open racing for the general public.

We supply everything you need to race. When your race begins you can
attack our challenging 950' race track in karts that can reach in
excess of 35 m.p.h. This is FAST when sitting only inches off the
ground! Combine this sensation of speed with the sound of tires
squealing around corners and the thrill of competitive racing and
you'll have an experience to remember.

ADULT KARTS

Our powerful racing karts will allow you to experience the genuine
thrill of competitive racing. You'll balance the power of our 270 cc
(9 HP) engine with the demands of our twisting track. Your split
second reflexes and decision making ability will determine the outcome
of the race. You'll reach speeds in excess of 35 m.p.h. in the
straights

Yeah, I have been 10 times or so and it's a blast.

It's true racing not just hit gas pedal the whole time. You have to brake and now when to accel and slow down and take turn properly.

It is a bit costly but they usually have a coupon to use or a special. usually 3 times is enough for a visit. Depends on the people you race as well, most of the guys I go there with race flat track bikes and are good at racing.

Sounds like fun. Bet it's a blast to watch...depending on those racing

I've done it as well, lots of fun! They are strict with the rules though, no bumping etc.
After 3 races I was worn out, it's a workout.

KargoMaster · 10-05-2010, 08:46 PM

Agreed... Lots of fun, actual strategy, physically demanding...

It was a LOT of fun... and I'm pretty sure the cars have gotten faster since I went some 6 years ago or so...

That is some pretty hard core racing that is a blast! 4 runs can wear you out! Been kicked out of there before at a bachelor party so I may have to go the next time in disguise!
