You know the type. Maybe you are one of them. Maybe you secretly long to be one of them.

They zip past with tires squealing -- just a blur in your side view mirror, un-phased by radar or speed traps.

We’re talking about the motor mojo. The kind of rush that finds you making a pit stop at Velocity 17 (www.v-17.com) , the brand new indoor race track with performance karts that are definitely not your mother’s go-kart! Want proof? Watch the video.

The 100,000 square foot facility, on Route 17 in Maywood, is one of the largest and best in the country. You’ll get introduced with a training video, strap on protective gear and your helmet, and whiz around the hairpin turns.

A squadron of flag bearers waving the colored coded warnings helps you control your speed and keep tabs on your fellow motorists. If you are old enough to have a driver’s license, you can exceed the 25mph limit.

The place is kid friendly too, but youngest drivers are segregated; allowed on the track only during organized outings (eg birthday parties) that keep out everyone but them. The drive is challenging, and you’ll be glad that the little ones aren’t allowed in the fast lane without supervision.

Also for your entertainment, a F-18 flight simulator (the real deal!) , a laser shooting range, and virtual auto racing room. Your visit, including membership fee, will run you about $40.

CEO Jerry Joseph hopes Velocity 17 becomes a destination for corporations. How great to be team building as you blow past your middle managers, and pass the boss on the final lap? They’ll even provide you with real race suits, team photos, and party rooms to cool your engines afterwards.

Monday is Ladies’ Night. Strap in gals, and pedal to the metal. You are finally in the driver’s seat.
