A north-side Colorado Springs, Colorado, retail center will soon house Overdrive Raceway, a two-story, indoor electric go-kart complex that has been proposed for Polaris Pointe, southeast of Interstate 25 and Northgate Boulevard.
The 68,000-square-foot building will feature race tracks on each of its floors, making it the first two-level, indoor electric go-kart operation in the country, said Overdrive Raceway owner Jim Mundle of Castle Rock.
The complex, which will employ about two dozen people, will include concession areas, seating, video games, offices and a corporate conference room, according to plans submitted to the city's Land Use Review Division.
Mundle said he expects to break ground within 60 days and open by November. The project's cost is about $5 million, he said.
Each track will accommodate up to 12 racers at a time, who will drive Italian-made electric karts through a course at top speeds of 50 mph for adults and 25 mph for kids, Mundle said.
