Economics of Go-Kart Track Operation*

A. Maximum capacity income per hour for one kart: (Note: charging more per ride will increase revenue) $3.50 per 4 minute ride
10 Cycles per hour
$35.00 per kart per hour

B. Full operational capacity assuming 2 minute between cycles (6 minutes per cycle; 10 cycles per hour) $3.50 per ride or $35.00 per hour

C. Fifteen karts operating at full opeartional capacity 15 @ $35.00 per hour - $525.00 per hour

D. Operating on a 12 hour day (12:00 pm to 12:00 am - gross) At $525.00 per hour - $6,300.00 per day

E. Gross yearly income - at $3.50 per ride (can be as high as $7 per ride)

*Note: These numbers reflect the earning capabilities of a go-kart track, based upon numbers done at existing operations. These are NOT an estimate of what your track can make. These numbers must be modified to match your potential location based upon its demographics and strength. Expenses should be calculated based upon your local labor and construction costs. This should be done by a qualified market research group.

**Note: Allows for 5 rain days per month.
