This time of year, everyone is looking for things to do to get them out of the house. But the problem is that not everyone likes doing things outdoors so options can be limited. However, if you love racing cars, and going fast, this could be an incredible time. Even as an adult, the thrill of skidding around a corner on a go cart is a rush. It makes you feel like a kid again. Now imagine doing it under the glow of neon lights.

That's what Glo-Karts are all about. Picture cosmic bowling, only instead of spending your time in a dark bowling alley, you're at an indoor go-kart track. It's a lot of glow in the dark paint and a bunch of black lights.

There's good news, and there's bad news. The good news is that it's not really far from Buffalo. The bad news is that you have to cross the border to get there, and it's only one night a week.

But, if that doesn't bother you, then you'll find it at a place called K1 Speed in Miississagua, Ontario. It's about an hour and a half drive from Buffalo up the QEW.

Again, it only happens on Thursday nights from 7pm-10pm. You also have to be 14 years old and 58″ or taller to race due to safety reasons.
