At maximum controlled speeds of 22 MPH to 28 MPH, concession karts enable kids to learn the fun of driving a motorized vehicle, and allow adults to fantasize that they're Jeff Gordon roaring down a speedway track. Concession karts are built with customer safety in mind, and must meet a variety of manufacturing, state and local standards. Each track is responsible for enforcing its own rules to maximize patron safety.
Many tracks have remote control systems which further enhance the safety of their operations.
