With the bikes tucked away for winter, the Gotham Ducati DOC family found another way to chase an apex. On Saturday, March 14, we swapped two wheels for four at Supercharged Entertainment in Edison, NJ — the world's largest indoor, multi-level karting track, a temperature-controlled 131,000-square-foot complex right off Route 1.
The all-electric Italian-made karts ran fast and smooth across two multi-level tracks full of elevation changes, hairpins, and chicanes — a fitting off-season fix for a club built on Italian engineering.
Booking as a group paid off. Three races per driver, head-to-head with fellow Ducatisti, and because we reserved together we ran our own heats and skipped the walk-in line that can stretch to 90 minutes on a busy Saturday.
The racing was close, the trash talk was closer, and a few members found out that throttle control on a kart is its own discipline entirely.
When the checkered flag dropped, the off-season tradition carried on over dinner at The Greek on Main in historic downtown Metuchen, five minutes from the track.
The BYOB, farm-to-table Greek kitchen on Main Street from Chef Theodore Kappas gave the crew a place to bring a bottle, recap the day's racing, and close out the off-season the way this club does best: together.
The bikes will be back on the road soon — but days like this are why the Gotham Ducati family stays tight through the winter.
