Gokart Racetrack Ideas

Create movable designs in the center of the track for variety.


Riding go-karts is a fun activity that can be enjoyed alone, with friends or simultaneously by the entire family. Build a track in your own backyard and involve kids and teens in the construction process to help them practice math and logical thinking skills. Individuals interested in starting a new go-kart track business benefit from thinking abstractly when designing tracks. Offering the public a track with various turn-offs and side pathways ensures riders will not get bored and will consistently return for business.


Curvy Driving Ahead


Whether you're building a track in your own backyard for family entertainment or you've decided to open a new business, a curvy track offers endless hours of circling fun. This type of track allows drivers to practice driving, steering, braking and speed acceleration skills, as kids need to become proficient at making challenging turns. If in a rural area, large block hay bales work well to establish the perimeter of the course.


Bridge to Adventure


Turn a worn out race track design into a new adventure to conquer by building a bridge and adding it to your existing configuration. The key to making this idea work is to take precise measurements when initially measuring the space for which you intend to place the bridge. One suitable idea regarding placement is to connect both sides of the race track with a single arched bridge. You can opt to construct a flat, straightaway bridge instead, but pay close attention to the height of the side construction walls. They should be at least 10 feet tall to accommodate drivers passing underneath.


Obstacle Course Excitement


Add a good dose of spicy excitement to your go-kart track with side roadway turn-off points and extraneous obstacles. Make sure you firmly secure items to the ground to avoid unnecessary risks or personal bodily injury. Inflatable toys, tubes and slides work well as an option; if kids crash into them, the impact is safely reduced. Turn to businesses and supply companies that sell and specialize in inflatable pieces for paintball and outdoor entertainment companies when searching for safe obstacles. The flexible orange safety cones often used to line or mark sports fields are suitable for creating smaller spots to avoid. Arrange these cones in various shapes around the center or to the side of the track for additional challenge.


Punctuation Configuration


The ampersand symbol and all of its elaborate curves offers a challenge for kids, teens and adults looking to ride on the wild side. Draw out this configuration on a large sheet of plywood or paper prior to starting set up of the actual track. If you have spare wood beams or blocks lying around the garage these pieces are a suitable way to line your track. Make sure to use pieces that are big enough for a driver to see from at least a 10 foot distance to avoid safety issues.
