I didn't see any mention of this place anywhere, but for those who haven't heard of it, it is an indoor kart track located in Melrose Park. Not quite as upscale as CIR (by a good margin...) but much more affordable. Karts vary in ability and the surface can be slick (especially in the colder months), but it is a lot of fun.

Myself and a few friends frequent there enough, drop me a line if interested in going :)

We are also looking into doing the "Car Club Enduro" at CIR the end of this month. Anyone else going to that?

I wouldnt mind checking out the place. Met the owner at the Rock Island GP and told him I would check it out. Let me know I will give it a try. Im looking more in November.

Thanks Jeff

I went to MPGP yesterday... that place is ghetto, but, we did have fun, and it is affordable... always a trade off :)
The karts were beat to hell (one worker between racers actually got a big pry bar and a big hammer and was bending back the back bumper of one of the karts in our group... just not used to seeing that haha). My last kart had a good portion of the left side of the steering wheel rubber gone... yeah... but once again, it was cheap ($10 bucks a race on thursdays), and we had fun. The track is overall is much wider then CIR, and fun surface.
