Speaking from my experience as a “graduate” from indoor to outdoor karting, it makes sense to have both types of facility in the same general area. I putzed around on indoor karts whenever I traveled on business for about 6 years before TTAC opened up and I realized sprint karting wasn’t just a Euro thing. After less than a year in TTAC’s rentals, I took the plunge and got a Rotax. My resolution for this year is to do a club race (won’t my about-to-retire Dad be surprised to hear he’s my mechanic).
If the marketing is done right, this new indoor track should be great for getting people hooked enough to sample the outdoor variety, and from there surely some folks have to go to the next level…
