was opened last fall by a former European racecar driver. The carts
go about 30 mph-rather fast when you're riding a few inches off the
ground! Racers must be 18 or older and hold a regular driver's license.
The facility is open daily in Buffalo Grove. The track also hosts
corporate events and racing leagues.

Information on Bad Dog Tavern |
Bad Dog Tavern's sleek interior may look a little out of place in a neighborhood known for its homey, old-world feel, but the new pub's friendly vibe makes it a perfect fit! Its strength is its duality: the back half of the room is a minimalist dining area; the front half is more for grabbing a drink. Depending on where you stand, you can appreciate Bad Dog for what makes it different-the granite floors are a nice touch; or for what makes it familiar-the friendly staff and stiff drinks!
