FRANKLIN.
Franklin is one of the best-connected towns in middle Tennessee, and an hour of that connection runs to a half-mile outdoor kart track that the area simply does not have an equal to.
WORTH THE DRIVE.
Franklin families take their racing seriously, and karting is the genuine grassroots of motorsport, the ladder real racing drivers climb from age five.

It is also the standout option for a Franklin group looking past the usual venues. A corporate outing, a milestone birthday, or a team celebration becomes a different kind of day on a half-mile of asphalt, and it is an easy drive to set up.
From Franklin, the route runs east toward Murfreesboro and then south on Highway 231 into Shelbyville.
