Every summer in our house as in many others the challenge of keeping the kids busy for July and August comes into play. Since I am at home with Adam who will be a teenager in the coming weeks and Emily who is five, we are always on the hunt for fun things to do. I was thrilled to find out about Pole Position Raceway right in Jersey City, NJ very close to Manhattan. Adam was really excited about the thought of getting behind the wheel! He will be testing out the raceway in the coming days, so I will be back with an update on things and pictures.
In the meantime, I am happy to share everything I know about it so far. Pole Position Raceway, a state-of-the-art indoor electric karting center. There are weekly summer racing camps offered at its facility. It’s a chance for kids to experience non-stop action, while guaranteeing that you will be hailed as the best parent ever for finding out about this fantastic place. I know I was thanked about a million times!
Offering an authentic, exhilarating and safe driving experience on two quarter-mile race tracks inside an 80,000 square foot facility, summer racing camps at Pole Position Raceway (P2R) are filled with excitement and fun! The karts at Pole Position Raceway feature the latest state-of-the-art technology, featuring Italian-made Formula EK10 battery-powered karts capable of speeds of up to 45 miles per hour – the fastest electric karts in the country.
Beginner and advanced level programs are open to Juniors, ages 8-12 and Youth, ages 13-17. The five day camps are led by a professional driver and are designed to emphasize safety and speed. Sessions are held from 11am – 4pm, Monday through Friday.
Topics covered include kart safety, track awareness, safe driving techniques, and race strategy. The final day tests each camper’s knowledge as they compete in a Championship Race Event followed by an awards ceremony.
All participants receive a Pole Position Raceway prize pack, an “action” photograph, and a certificate of completion.
