Ellis Island, now a 27.5-acre site located just minutes off the southern tip of Manhattan Island, New York, is likely to connect with more of the American population than any other spot in the country. It has been estimated that nearly half of all Americans today can trace their family history to at least one person who passed through the Port of New York at Ellis Island. Now, nearly a century since the peak years of immigration, Ellis Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the National Park Service.

Pole Position Raceway provides state-of–the art Formula EK20 karts for adults and EK10 karts for junior Racers. Our karts can speed up to 45mph for adults and approximately 20mph for kids. The chassis is actually the same; the only difference is the power source. Pole Position Raceway uses electric karts because they accelerate harder, smoother and offer more consistent performance than gas-powered engines. Electric karts are also quieter, produce no fumes and keep the track clean since they do not leak any gas or oil onto the surface. Oh yeah; they are also more fun to drive – and faster. All drivers need to be at least 48 inches tall and be able to safely operate the karts. Racers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a minor release liability form.
