Cool Karts @ Pole Position Raceway

I got an assignment to shoot this indoor kart racing business in Corona, CA. After getting lost inside a huge industrial complex I finally found the place and didn't expect much for what I could see from the outside.
Once inside my perception changed right away. It wasn't until after that I found out that Corona is consider to be the world’s epicenter of off-road motorcycle racing with lots of aftermarket companies, performance shops, factory test tracks, and key race-related companies. In fact, half of the top AMA Supercross and Motocross racers call this area home during the winter testing time.

There are over 50 electric karts and believe me these are not the karts you remember driving as a kid. The electronic scoring is a very cool feature for those who are serious about competition since it allows you to measure your skills against everyone who has ever driven at Pole Position Raceway.
The owners and the staff treated me like a king and they even stopped a race to let me position in the middle of the track!
