RPM Raceway Declares Sept. 14 As 'Go-Kart Day'

From RPM Raceway: With today’s high-tech go-karts ready to race at top speeds at a moment’s notice, it is hard to imagine a time where that innovation did not exist. To celebrate the long history of go-karting that has progressed in the United States, from downhill soap-box racing to modern electric karting, RPM Raceway, America’s ultimate all-electric indoor karting and entertainment destination, today announced that it is declaring Friday, September 14 as Go-Kart Day and is celebrating by giving away one free race to the first 25 guests who register to race from 12pm – 6 pm.

September 14 is a significant date as it marks the first ever public go-kart appearance in 1956, thanks to Art Ingles, better known as the “Father of Karting”. In recognition of the momentous introduction of go-karts to the world decades ago, all six RPM Raceway locations will celebrate Go-Kart Day at its locations in Jersey City, Farmingdale, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and recently opened venue in Stamford to honor the invention that evolved into today’s high-performance, all-electric, indoor karts capable of speeds up to 45 MPH found at RPM Raceway.

“We are excited to declare Go-Kart Day to support both technological developments and to foster our love for karting,” said Karen Davis-Farage, president and co-owner of RPM Raceway. “Since this under the radar milestone played a role in the innovative thinking needed to develop the high-performance go-karts at RPM Raceway, we thought it was fitting to celebrate with free races and to encourage racing lovers’ interest in go-karts and karting advancements.”

Offer valid from 12pm – 6pm for the first 25 guests who register to race on Friday, September 14, 2018 at all six RPM Raceway locations including in Jersey City, NJ, Destiny USA in Syracuse, NY, Walden Galleria in Buffalo, NY, Farmingdale (Long Island), NY, The Marketplace Mall in Rochester, NY and Stamford, CT. Limit one free race per customer. Not valid with other coupons or discounts.
