American Indoor Karting is located in a strip mall. They have a two-track layout that were combined into one for the two nights I was there. The floor has just the right amount of grip to allow some drifting through fast corners without having to fight the kart through the slow ones.
The first time I was there they a great, fast 90-degree turn in the center of the room (seen just to the right of the Red Bull bridge in the higher-angle photo). Taking it flat out, I'd slide out to the barrier on the left and and follow it through the bend to the left to set up for a tight right turn. It was a lot of fun, but the next time it had been replaced with a two 180-degree hairpin turns that were technically interesting but not nearly as much fun.
The standard karts use the typical 6.5hp motors, but they also have a set of faster karts that have a larger motor and wider chassis that are reserved for those who can run five laps in a session under a specified time. I didn't get the chance to drive one, but a couple employees did and the sound was very cool.
The whole facility was clean and in good shape. The karts ran well and their timing system shows your lap times as well as the others in your session and fastest times.
