Victory Lane is very different from other indoor tracks. We offer real side by side racing. Each race is run just like they do it at real race tracks with two kart wide rolling starts, and if a caution comes out we re-align the field and do it all again. Each race is run by completed laps, not by a time limit. Our races last between 35 and 100 laps! The first driver to cross the line and take the checkered flag is the winner.
Mike Rowe- # 2 PRO STOCK DRIVER...3 time Oxford 250 Champion says:
"Victory Lane has awesome racing with side by side action, bumping and rubbing. It's real racing and great fun."
Billy Penfold- #0 PASS TOUR DRIVER:
"Victory Lane is the closest thing to racing real cars that I have ever found anywhere. It's the real deal and you'll love it."
Jay From Scarborough-
"What an awesome place. We had a really good time and love your prices. The racing was fantastic. I can't believe how fast your karts are and I love the oval track! "
Tim From Portland-
We had a company party at your place and I want to thank the Victory Lane staff for putting on such a great event. My guys haven't stopped talking about your place and can't wait for us to do it again. We love your new set up and the racing was great. Your track announcer is awesome and he really made our company party fun! Thank-you
David Oliver #21 Pro Stock Beechridge Speedway Driver:
"Victory Lane is almost like driving real race cars with bumping, rubbing, trading paint and working traffic. The karts are fast and it's a lot of fun."
Patty from Gorham-
I just wanted to say that my son's birthday party was a tremendous success. Your staff was so good and patient with all the young boys and they made it so much fun too. The boys are trying to talk their parents into doing league races now. You're prices were very affordable and I'm so glad that the karts are protected so well and it is really neat how your walls will move when they are hit. No wonder no one has been hurt while racing at your track. You do a great job and I will be telling everyone about your place. Thank you so much for a fun time.
John from Portland-
My crew loves to race at Victory Lane. We love your NASCAR time trials and the guys really get into the racing and it has become serious competition to see who can finish in first place. It gives them something to look forward to and it's great for them to team up and work together. The Victory Lane trophies ( and your brochures ) are proudly on display in our entrance way. Thank you for allowing us to have a really super time and I hope everyone finds out about Victory Lane.
Karen from Portland-
Just had to say thank you to the staff at Victory Lane. You are the best!
Kim from Standish-
I'd recommend Victory Lane to anyone looking for a great place to have a childs birthday party. My daughter and all her friends had a blast and we really have to thank all the workers who worked so hard to teach the kids how to drive safely. Thank you Victory Lane for a great time. We'll be back!

TRUE FACTS: We will pull the following true facts off our web site just as soon as the owner of Maine Indoor Karting cleans up all the false and misleading information on their web site concerning Victory Lane.
I am sorry if anyone finds the following true facts offensive. For two years now Maine Indoor Karting has been spreading false and misleading information and it's time to set the record straight...
YES- Victory Lane does have insurance and YES- our racers do sign a waivor form. YES we do have a full time track manager and full time mechanics and YES- we do care about our customers safety!
----FACT: MAINE INDOOR KARTING "CLAIMS" THEY ARE THE SAFEST RACING FACILITY IN NEW ENGLAND....The truth is that many people have suffered injuries racing there. A Scarborough rescue worker told us of the many times an ambulance had to be rushed to the MIK facility to assist hurt and injured customers with various injuries including broken ribs, neck and back injuries. Former employees of Maine Indoor Karting have also told us about many injuries that occurred while they were working there and many former customers of MIK have told us about injuries they suffered while racing over there in Scarborough. We sincerely hope that the young boy who was injured while racing at Maine Indoor Karting over April vacation is not still hurt. We understand that once again, an ambulance had to be called to their facility to attend to the young boy. At Victory Lane we designed our track with soft walls that move upon any impact and our karts have a real roll cage and both NASCAR shoulder and lap belts to protect the drivers. Why does Maine Indoor Karting continue to state that they are the safest facility in New England? Fact is they are not the safest in Maine, let alone New England. At Victory lane we have never had to call for an ambulance to aid any racer and we have never had any racer injured. Our safety record is far superior to that of Maine Indoor Karting.
____FACT: We agree totally with the advice that Maine Indoor Karting has on every page of there web site when they say "RACE YOUR WAY TO VICTORY LANE" ; just don't get a speeding ticket getting here. You'll have more fun and pay less to race and get more track time at Victory Lane.
____FACT: At MIK in Scarborough on certain days they race around a rectangle and call it an oval track. Too bad for them that Four straight-a-ways connected at the ends makes a square or a rectangle, not an oval.
We appoligize for putting this information out for the public to see and it is not the way we choose to do business, but it seems like this might be the only way to have Maine Indoor Karting remove al it's false and misleading information concerning Victory Lane. They continue to spread false information about us including telling people that we don't have insurance. We wish that they would stop worrying about us over here in Portland and just run their own business and we encourage them to clean up the misleading information on their web site. We wish Maine Indoor Karting well.

Victory Lane is great and has passing room. I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants real racing. It's a blast.
Steve Perry- Mainly Motorsports' TV Host:
"I love the fact that it's a real oval track.
I bring my two daughters there to race and it's really cool that I can race along side them. When we leave they never stop talking about Victory Lane and we can't wait to get back and see how much they can improve the next time. The staff are very nice people and it's easy to tell they really care about their customers."

Your Friday night rumble races are tremendous. I want to thank all my fellow competitors who raced so clean. I have not been able to win one yet, but just participating and racing against some really good drivers makes this event so much fun.
