Where can I go karting?

Where can I go Go-Karting in NYC? (Actually Westchester county)

I'm looking for a place for a large group to go go-karting. Preferably outdoors, nice tracks, and semi-fast karts... and in Westchester county. If not Westchester, anywhere around the NYC/TriState area is fine. Any ideas?

(Oh I saw the NewRocCity place, but that looks kind of... um, tame.)

It's a bit far from Westchester, but Velocity 17 in NJ is supposed to be fantastic - I have not been there as of yet though...

If memory serves, they have go-karts at Playland in Rye, NY.

There is a new place going in on 117 in Mt. Kisco/ Bedford Hills in the old distribution center behind the car dealerships accross from the staples. Not sure if it is in or open yet.

Since Velocity 17's website is singularly useless, I called them up. There's a membership fee of $20/year, and then karting is $18.50 for a vaguely-worded "about 7 minutes, or 6-8 laps" of track time.

Which works out to $5.50/minute for the first 7 minutes, and $2.64/minute after that.

Yes I'm a geek.
