Jan. 11: Accelerate Indoor Speedway grand opening and ribbon cutting event

Accelerate Indoor Speedway, which opened late last year at 8580 Springlake Drive in Mokena, will hold its grand opening next week with a host of events including a go-kart race featuring local officials. Accelerate’s 75,000 square-foot facility has 45 adult carts and 16 junior carts. They are electric and will be powered in part from solar energy gleaned from panels on the roof. Click here to read Bob Bong’s story in the Tribune/Daily Southtown.
