UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REGULATORY AGENCIES

One of the most common questions asked of us is… “Who regulates indoor karting?” Most states and provinces have some type of regulatory agency which oversees amusement operations, i.e. Indoor Kart Racing and/or indoor concession karting. Many of these agencies may require special-use permits and inspections as well as other requirements. If you have any questions, contact the agency within the state or province you plan to operate.
