RE: new indoor racing in Memphis
Those Go Carts are fun! I have not been to this facility. But, I rode in one of those Go Carts in an outdoor Go Cart track that professional Go Cart races are raced on. And, it was a blast! The only problem I have heard about indoor tracks is that you probably don't have the traction like a professional outdoor track, so you will tend to slide into the curves.
But, this looks fun anyway.

The neighbors took their son who just graduated from high school over there the other weekend - they said they had a blast.

I went to their Jacksonville location back in January and it was a lot of fun. Kinda pricy but worth it.

They are going to be pricey, because these go carts are not the go carts like Putt Putt. These cars are meant for racing. If they did not put governors in these go carts, these go carts can go 40 - 60 mph on a straight away.

Definitely. I think a positive by-product from the high cost is that it'll keep most of the knuckleheads off the track. Most people don't want to shell out that kind of cash just to ruin the experience for others.

That is true. Plus, if you have a hobbyist go cart racer, who is trying to show off, try to punch the accelerator on a governed go car, they will be limited to the top speed and limits who they hurt.
I loved driving one. It was a company outing. And, a few of those people were wannabe racers. And, they passed me by like I was just standing still. LOL These carts were not governed, so these guys knew how to take the curves. Well, these wannabe racers messed up a few go carts and the manager gave us all a speech about the damages when we got back. LOL Good times! LOL
