The first one is a competition track that can be used by kart owners, and the second is a much more simplistic track for rentals.
If you’re racing late, there’s a good chance you’ll be in the dark under floodlights, which is an atmosphere we haven’t found on other tracks.

Centurion Rental Karts go up to 45mph, and the 9 Horsepower Rental Karts can go up to 55mph.
