“is a lost art in this
country,” according to
Jim Mundle, who cut

Mundle’s philosophy on customer service takes on a new meaning when he talks about accommodating people of different abilities. With four ADA hand-controlled shifter karts on site, people who would otherwise be unable to partake in the fun can now join in with everyone else. “They
don’t just participate,” he says, “they can compete at the same level as their friends. This is a big deal to people who are used to watching from the sidelines. They’re the same as everyone else out here on the track.”

We want high-energy, motivated people here who enjoy serving the customer. Here, it’s not just about the racing. We want to provide a complete experience from beginn•ing to end, and our team is the key to that.”
