The company opened its first track in Corona, California in September 2005 [Reference for the time the company opened http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=2341] . Through the help of world-class racers / investors Kurt Busch [ Kurt Busch mentioned to be involved with the company http://www.indoorkartingnews.com/news_info.php?n=61] (NASCAR Champ), Jeremy McGrath (Supercross Champ) and Mike Meztger [ Link with Mike Metzger involved with the company http://www.dirtrider.com/news/141_0712_chad_reed_wins_celebrity_event/index.html ] (X Games Gold Medalist), Pole Position Raceway has been able to expand to several locations and even enter the franchise business. Pole Position Raceway uses high-performance electric karts made in Europe which are capable of 45mph. The karts race indoors on professionally designed courses that are up to 3/8-mile long. Each kart is also fitted with an Transponder timing unit, manufactured by AMB [AMB company website for timing loop source http://www.amb-it.com/tranx-base-system-c-13_14.html] that allows for electronic timing and scoring. After each event, racers are given a Speed Sheet (TM) [Speedsheet Website http://www.speedsheettiming.com/ ] , which details race statistics down to 1/1000th of a second including single fastest lap time, average lap time, position in the race, and overall ranking compared to other racers in the data bank.
