There's nothing more thrilling than racing your buddies on the go-kart track.

This writer remembers afternoons spent with friends at the local mini golf course, which inevitably meant that racing each other on go-karts was a given. After all, when you've been standing in the sun while mini golfing, you need something more adrenaline-pumping to balance that out.

Plus, when you're a kid who can't drive, it's thrilling to step on the gas in a safe environment where a little road rage never hurt anyone (provided it's in the spirit of fun, of course). Even as an adult, it's fun to race your companions, ensuring that they choke on dust as you cross the finish line first (or, you could be "that" person who spins out, requiring the person in charge to free you from the shackles of tire barriers).

Moral of the story: you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't like go-karting.

With that in mind, we decided to find the best go-karting spots in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and the spots we found got us all the more excited for our next trip to the track. Let's have a look at what and where these places are. How many have you been to?
