Resort Partners with On Track Karting to Create
World-Class Indoor Karting Center
Today, Foxwoods® Resort Casino announced the next step in its
evolution as the Northeast’s premier full-service resort
destination: a high-performance, European-style indoor karting
center. The track, which will feature dramatic elevation changes
and hairpin turns, is set to join the recently opened Foxwoods
Thrill Tower and upcoming HighFlyer Zipline as another standout
addition to Foxwoods’ impressive portfolio of adventure
attractions.
Foxwoods teamed up with On Track Karting, a recognized leader in
the karting industry, to offer guests a true motorsport feel on one
of the longest and fastest indoor kart runs ever
constructed. The top-of-the-line, multi-level track will
feature gas-powered, nine-horsepower karts that give drivers the
power and control necessary for the ultimate high-speed rush.
“Our goal is to continue to provide more fun and exciting
reasons for guests to visit Foxwoods,” said Felix Rappaport,
President and CEO of Foxwoods Resort Casino. “As a leader in the
entertainment industry, this is the next logical step as we
continue to evolve into the premier resort destination in North
America.”
Foxwoods, together with racing enthusiast and star of Fast N’
Loud Richard Rawlings, made the announcement earlier today in front
of a packed crowd at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway in advance of
the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series’ ISM Connect 300. Rawlings
also unveiled a kart emblazoned with his Gas Monkey Garage logo
that he promises to take back to his famed shop, where he will work
his magic to turn it into the fastest kart on the track.
Construction is set to begin in late September and the karting
center is scheduled to open in early 2018. To get your engine
