If you’re like me, the you enjoy the high octane thrills of whipping a car around a darkly lit suburban street completely legal track at breakneck law-abiding speeds. If you’re also like me, and live in the sprawl of gridlock that is New York City, then your dreams of becoming the next  Speed Racer are probably manifested during late nigh sessions of Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Luckily, (if you’re in the Tri-state area) you can indulge your need for speed by racing go-karts at the Gran Prix New York, just as Editor-In-Chief Emil Wilbekin, Features Editor Mary HK Choi and myself did today.

(Check out the awesomeness in the gallery below).

Located in Mount Kisco, New York (about 40 minutes north of NYC) the 120,000 square foot indoor racing venue boasts two tracks, room for 1,200 people and a fully stocked bar and restaurant. Student membership is $30 annually and $20 per race.
