Autobahn Indoor Speedway Coming to Hampshire Mall

HADLEY — Autobahn Indoor Speedway will begin construction this winter at Hampshire Mall. Autobahn’s 35,000-square-foot site will be the largest indoor karting facility in Western Mass. and will be located at Center Court across from Café Square and Cinemark.

Autobahn offers European-style go-karting in a completely enclosed facility. Each adult kart has a 20-horsepower electric motor that reaches speeds up to 50 mph, and the junior karts reach speeds up to 25 mph. For novice groups of racers, the sophisticated timing system allows for regulated speed in order to maintain a safe racing environment.

Autobahn — which also markets itself for special occasions such as birthday parties and corporate team-building events — currently operates locations in Baltimore, Md. and Jacksonville, Fla., and has plans to open more facilities. The Hadley location is projected to be open by spring. For more information, visit www.autobahnspeed.com.
