  • Make More Time for Mushroom Rally Racing

    Are you excited to go kart racing but you aren’t sure how you will get everything done that you need to? It would be awful to miss out on something you are really looking forward to just because of your responsibilities, but you might not have to.

    Don’t worry about not completing essential tasks. We have a few ideas to help you clear up your schedule and make some more time in the day. If that kart race is calling, you should definitely go, but first use these time-saving techniques to squeeze more hours out of the day.

    Have Your Home Professionally Cleaned

    You have a lot of house chores to do and little time to do them. What should you do about it? You can either stress or you can hire home cleaners to take care of things for you.

    Why not hire professional cleaners to come and take care of sweeping, mopping, dishwashing, scrubbing, and sanitizing for a day? That would give you some extra free time to go karting, wouldn’t it? And you get the peace of mind of knowing that your home isn’t just regular clean but professionally cleaned.

    It could be worth hiring professionals to give yourself a break and to know that your house looks really good. You won’t have to worry about doing the housework yourself for that week, and that can be extremely energizing to have all that work completed. Now, you won’t just have time for kart racing, you will have energy to focus on the races.

    Take a Mental Health Day

    Your mental health is incredibly important, and your employer likely understands that. When you need time to relax and let loose some of the stress you might have pent up, why not ask for a mental health day? You can use a sick day you might have saved up and enjoy the stimulation and stress relief offered by kart racing. That’s a great way to let go of your cares for a while and take your mind off of anything that could have been bothering you.

    You don’t want to waste your sick days, of course, but if you feel like you need one, kart racing is a great diversion. You will be taking in the fresh air, getting out of the house, and of course, out of the workplace. That’s excellent for your stress levels, and it helps with blood flow and gives your respiratory system a boost. You know that being outside is great for your health, but if you don’t want to do anything too strenuous, you can sit down in a go-kart and go for a ride rather than hitting the gym. You will get many of the same benefits this way.

    Schedule a Break

    If you just let your schedule get the best of you, you will probably end up being too busy to have time to do some of the things you want. Busy people rarely get to enjoy themselves, but those who schedule in time off will squeeze more joy out of life. If you are always working, you never really get to savor your times of rest and relaxation. So, set aside time in your busy week for play.

    You can pencil it into your schedule, and then let your office and family know that you need time to relax during that period. You can turn your phone off for extra relaxation and go hit the kart track. That way, there will be no distractions and nothing to pull you away from what you really want to do.

    Being a workaholic has its advantages, and you don’t want to ditch your career to have fun, but it is okay to take breaks every now and then. You just might need to schedule them in rather than hoping they happen on their own eventually. If you have trouble getting any time off, then you need to be proactive about it. Go into your schedule and put down some time for Mushroom Rally kart racing so that it will happen for sure.

    Take Time off from TV

    The average person watches a lot of television, and then if you include internet and social media usage, their screen time is astronomical. You might be surprised at how much time you spend on screens each week. Most people would be shocked to see the numbers.

    Your television watching could be getting in the way of other activities that you want to do but can never find time for. You may have a fear of missing out (FOMO) on your favorite shows and not being up to date on all the latest television happenings, but don’t worry. You can TiVo them and catch them later or find them on streaming services whenever you have some spare time.

    Going out to the go kart track takes a little bit of a commitment. You may not naturally fit it into your day, and you may have to do something you don’t normally do, like skip the television watching. You will be glad you did, though. Kart racing will give you a break from the things you are used to, and it’s a great experience for the whole family. If you have been wanting to get more involved with your family and do more things together, why not take them kart racing with you?

    Save Unimportant Things for Later

    We spend a lot of time on tasks that are very unimportant. These are often things that simply waste our time or that could be done later on and not hurt us. These might be tasks like responding to emails, checking the news, making phone calls, and running errands.

    Ask yourself if all of these things need to be done immediately or if you can put them off to a later time. You may find that they didn’t need to be done after all, and you will have your time to go to the track and get in some kart racing.

  • Go Karting Is Perfect for Bachelor Parties

    To make a bachelor party really memorable, you need a few key ingredients. You need good friends, some good food, and a special setting. Some people choose a favorite restaurant, while others go for something more adventurous.

    If you want your bachelor party to be one to remember, then think about choosing a location that is not your typical party spot. You can have a great time with your friends at the Mushroom Rally, in or out of costume and tearing around the track with glee. Think about how much fun it will be to go kart racing with your bachelor party crew to celebrate the end of single life for yourself or the bachelor you are throwing the party for.

    Plan Ahead

    If you want the party to go off smoothly, you need to make some plans ahead of time. Think about what time will be best for the event and then schedule the venue for your party. You can reserve the Mushroom Rally experience for your bachelor party. Just plan ahead and make those reservations so that your party isn’t left waiting for the karts to open up for them. You don’t want to be standing around and waiting for most of the time. To keep the energy high and the party atmosphere at its peak, you need to have the venue booked ahead of time and free for your use.

    Make sure you choose a time that will be acceptable to the bachelor and the other participants. Work with their schedules so that as many people as possible can show up and be a part of the event. You may have to be careful with how you find out that information, if you’re wanting the party to be a surprise. To spring an event like this on your bachelor, talk to his fiancé so that she can work with you to clear his schedule.

    There will be limited reservation slots available for Mushroom Rally, so make sure you get in your reservation ahead of time. Also consider reserving enough time so that those who cannot arrive at the beginning can still be a part of the festivities later on.

    Make Dinner Plans

    Most bachelor parties happen in the evening, so we’re assuming that you need to plan for a dinner to go along with your Mushroom Rally experience. It can be difficult to reserve space at a restaurant and at the Mushroom Rally, especially if you don’t know how long kart racing will take. So, it may be best to have the bachelor dinner at somebody’s house. That can create a huge mess for the homeowner to pick up, which is why we might suggest hiring professional cleaners to tidy things up afterwards. This takes pressure off the homeowner and makes them more willing to open up their house for the party, knowing that they don’t have to do the clean up. If you’re organizing the bachelor party and it’s not your house, it would be thoughtful of you to organize the professional cleaners as well.

    Think about what foods can be ready at the time you need them, which foods your bachelor and his friends would like, and what would be appropriate for a bachelor party setting. If you take all these things into consideration, you can make this a great dinner that your friends will remember for a long time.

    Costume or No Costume

    A lot of the people who come to Mushroom Rally to race will dress up in costumes, often those of Mario characters. We see people dressed like Luigi, Mario, Donkey Kong, Bowser, and many more. Consider if your party might want to rent costumes from our venue or even bring their own. Think about whether each attendee may want a different character or if you want to coordinate your costumes. You can ask us ahead of time about which costumes are available, what sizes we have, and if we have enough costumes to accommodate everyone in your bachelor party.

    We guarantee you’ll have a great time go karting at Mushroom Rally whether you costume up or not. Just the joy of being with friends and racing around the track is enough fun for anyone, but you can really enhance the experience by dressing up. It’s a great option for people who want to get a little more out of their experience and especially for those who want some great photo opportunities.

    For the best experience, we recommend choosing someone from the party to take pictures, specifically someone who has some experience at taking quality photos and group shots. If you assign someone to this duty, they can be taking photos all throughout the event so everyone else doesn’t have to worry about that.

    The advantage to renting costumes from us is that you don’t have to wash them up when you’re done using them. Simply give them back to us and we’ll take care of the cleaning. If you bring your own costumes, however, you can wear them to the after party dinner.

    Closing Thoughts

    It doesn’t matter if some of your party has never been go karting before or even if some of them don’t drive. Go karting is for everyone, and at Mushroom Rally, we make sure that everyone has a great experience. This is a safe, and enjoyable time for people of all ages, and it’s a great choice for your bachelor party.

    As long as everyone in your group likes adventure and loves a good time, they will enjoy themselves on our track. For those who want to abstain from riding in a kart, they can stand on the sidelines and take pictures, enjoying watching their friends race around the track at high speeds. It’s the kind of activity that’s fun whether you’re in the kart or watching from the sidelines.

    If you need options for your upcoming bachelor party, think of us and all the fun you’ll have go kart racing with your friends.

  • How to Keep Your Karting Costume Clean

    When it’s karting time at the Mushroom Rally, many people will rent costumes from us to dress up in. They love to roleplay as their favorite characters, and it’s quite a sight to see the track filled up with people dressed in costume. It makes the experience feel like a real world version of a Mario Kart game.

    Some of the more dedicated fans actually own their costumes, and they bring them to the track to race in. Many of these are Mario themed, but not all of them. We get a wide variety of riders who are fans of so many different properties and we all have a blast seeing their dedication and the spirit they bring to the experience.

    We admire their dedication to kart racing as a costumed event and not just as a chance to ride around in a go kart. For them, there are always the issues of keeping a costume in good shape, making sure it stays clean, and ensuring that it is karting ready. For those who want their costumes to last a long time and feel comfortable to wear, we have some tips for cleaning the costume.

    Hand Wash Costumes

    Some costumes are made with delicate components, like sequins or other attachments that could come off if they were washed in a machine. Those will be labeled as hand wash only, so pay close attention to the washing instruction tags on your costume and follow those directions precisely.

    If you want to hand wash your costume and ensure that it gets cleaned properly, then you need to use a basin filled with cold water. Use just a little detergent in the water, making sure that you’re using a gentle laundry soap. Agitate the water to mix the detergent in and put your costume completely into the water. From there, you can use your hands to clean the costume, scrubbing out any areas that are soiled or that have stains on them. Don’t scrub the fabric roughly, though, as it may make fragile fabric come apart.

    Washing in a Machine

    For costumes that can be washed in a machine, you still want to take care with them. Costumes tend to have hanging and attached parts that can easily be caught by the washing machine and snag, leading to a rip in the fabric. To protect your costume from tearing apart in the machine, place it into a pillow case or a laundry bag. Once again, use cold water and a detergent that’s not very strong. Any parts on the costume that have zippers or fasteners need to be closed so that they do not snag while washing.

    What to Avoid

    There are some common mistakes that people make with their laundry that can really damage a costume. We want to share some of the most common ones with you so that you can avoid them.

    Don’t use any bleach on your costume, since that can remove the color and leave large patches of white or light coloring on the fabric. If you have to get rid of stains, use something less potent, like a spot stain remover. Work the stain remover gently over any spots and scrub only hard enough to get rid of the stain and not damage the fabric.

    Also be careful about ironing your costume. Use a low heat setting so that you don’t damage and burn the costume. Try not to hold the iron on any one spot of the costume for very long.

    Professional cleaning by Imagine Maids is one of the best methods for costume cleaning, but make sure that whoever you hire to clean your costume has experience with that kind of laundry work. If you are having professional home cleaners take care of your laundry, make sure they know what they are doing and that they know to be gentle with your costume when they wash it. Even taking the costume to dry cleaners can be risky if they’re not used to dealing with such delicate materials. For any professional you’re using to clean your costume, check their experience before entrusting your costume to them.

    When drying the costume, make sure that you don’t wring it out. Allow it to drip dry instead. The danger of wringing out the costume is that you can make the fabric stretch and permanently damage it.

    Once your costume is completely dry, you can store it in a closet on a hanger. This will help it keep its shape and form. It’s probably not a good idea to place your costume in direct sunlight for  it to dry, as that can make your colors fade. Instead, allow it to dry out of the sunlight and then place it immediately into a cool, dry place to store. Your closet will work fine for storage, as long as there are no moths or silverfish to damage it there. You can keep mothballs in the closet to keep away pests like these, though.

    My Costume Is Damaged. What Do I Do?

    If you wear your costume long enough, it will get damaged in time. Something will tear or start to come apart, and you should deal with the problem immediately. Do not try to wear a damaged costume, since the problem will likely get worse and make for a much harder issue to solve.

    If you have experience in sewing, you can try to fix the costume yourself, but if the issue is major or beyond your experience, you should not try to handle it on your own. Entrust the costume to an experienced tailor who can fix the costume properly and make it safe to wear again.

    Your costume can give you many hours of enjoyment and really enhance the fun of the go karting experience, so long as you take good care of it. Be sure to wash your costume after every use, even if you didn’t wear it for long. Use the techniques listed above to ensure gentle washing and a long lifespan for your costume.

  • How to Win a Go Kart Racing

    Go karting can feel competitive, but it is only as competitive as you make it. It’s racing for fun rather than for that first place trophy, so how do you win at an experience like that?

    Here at Mushroom Rally, we think of winning at go kart racing as having as much fun as possible. How do you squeeze the most out of this so that you make good memories and feel like you are getting your money’s worth? After years of experience with family and friend groups coming to our go kart racing venue, we have a few tips to share.

    Get Everyone Together

    Go kart racing is one of those experiences that you want your friends and family to be a part of. It is so much better when you do it with people you know and love. In order to make the most of this, try to choose a time when everyone can be there at the same time. If you are bringing your family, tell them in advance when you would like to go kart racing and give them an opportunity to get time off from work or to schedule time out of their week for it.

    If you are taking your friends, let them know in advance as well so that they can arrange their plans around it. It would be a shame if some of your friends would not be able to make it, so it is best to plan this event well in advance and give them plenty of notice. That way, they will be more likely to be able to make time for it. You don’t want to be saying later on, “Oh, if only you were there, it would have been perfect!”

    Ditch the Responsibilities

    Your responsibilities can nag at you when you are out enjoying yourself. You will be thinking about all the things you need to get done when you should be having a great time. What are the responsibilities that are on your plate that might keep you distracted while kart racing? For many people, it’s house chores. Leave those to the professionals and hire cleaners so you don’t have to tidy up. We know many of the groups that have visited us have asked someone else to clean for them while they spend a few hours kart racing, and they have had a better time for it.

    House cleaning is the biggest, most common chore that keeps people at home when they would rather be out having fun, which is why we mention it, but there may be something else that is your responsibility that you need to find a creative way to put off or hand over for the day. The dishes will pile up without much effort, and the floors will become dirty just by regular use, but having someone come and handle all of that will be a huge help in getting you out of the house and down to the Mushroom Rally.

    Whatever your responsibilities are at home, don’t let them hold you back from getting out for a great time with friends and family.

    Get in the Spirit

    So many people come out to Mushroom Rally primed to have a good time. They are excited, cheerful, and looking forward to dressing up as their favorite characters. You don’t have to dress up to have a good time, but you might be missing out if you don’t try it at least once. We recommend everyone give costume racing a try just for the experience. It makes you feel like roleplaying, and it can help you get into the same spirit as everyone else who is there on the track.

    If someone in your party is feeling a bit down, encourage them to dress up as well. Just putting on the costume can change someone’s entire demeanor. Suddenly, they feel like they are the characters, and they can’t help but let a smile spread across their face. They start acting like the characters and spouting lines at other racers like they are in the game.

    Try to approach kart racing as something that is meant to be fun rather than competitive and serious. If you focus only on getting to the finish line first, you will spend less time on the track and with the other racers than everyone else. That’s not as fun as you might think. Not everyone can cross that finish line first, so even if you are at the back of the pack, you can still focus on having a good time. Our suggestion is to get into character, imagine you are in one of the Mushroom Kingdom courses, and just enjoy the feel of the kart under you.

    The experience of letting the wind rush by you in an open kart is rewarding enough, as is seeing the funny collisions of the other players and the way they spin out of control or get off course. Look for something to laugh at rather than focus only on beating everyone else. If you take the race casually, it will be a blast for you. We promise.

    Run the Course Multiple Times

    If you haven’t been in a go kart for a while (or never), don’t worry about it. Go karting is meant to be fun and not overly challenging. In fact, the difficulty curve is very low, so anyone can enjoy it. Even kids have a blast riding around in the go karts. It’s more challenging than bumper cars but not nearly as difficult as driving an actual car.

    We suggest trying the course a couple of times, so that even if the first time doesn’t go very smoothly for you, you have a chance to correct it the next time around. Some people spin out and end up on the walls a lot the first time through, and that’s okay. Keep at it and you will pick up kart racing very quickly. Plan for multiple runs to maximize your fun.

  • How We Keep Mushroom Rally Safe and Sanitary

    We want everyone to have a great time at our go karting course. In order to do that, we prioritize safety. We make sure our karts work great and the courses are extremely safe for everyone. We know that our riders come in all shapes and sizes and have different levels of driving ability, so we work hard to accommodate all of them.

    We are always evaluating our safety measures and making sure they are up to mark. One of the ways we keep our guests safe is to make sure that karts are clean and sanitized. We don’t want riders spreading germs to each other if we can help it. Here is what we are doing to keep Mushroom Rally as safe as possible when it comes to germs and bacteria.

    Basic Sanitizing

    Germs are a bigger deal than ever these days. We know our guests care about having a clean place to ride. They want to feel safe in our vehicles and in our costumes, so we make sure that every surface is sanitized regularly. We use powerful germ-killing cleaning products that eliminate the vast majority of bacteria and contaminants.

    We sanitize on a regular basis, especially during flu and cold seasons. That’s when germs are most likely to be present and to spread. As people get the sniffles, they will wipe their hands and arms on their noses and mouths, and germs are then moved to their clothing and onto other surfaces that they come into contact with.

    We use disposable cleaning wipes to minimize the spread of germs and to ensure our guests can feel safe sitting down in the same seats as someone else. Our guests touch the same steering wheels and hold the same safety bars as hundreds of other people did the same day, and the only way to prevent the spread of germs in an environment like that is to constantly sanitize. So, we do that for our guests’ safety.

    Clean Costumes Are Important

    It’s not just the karts that need cleaning, though. Our guests will often rent costumes from us, and these are worn by thousands of people each year. With that kind of regular usage, we need to keep them really clean. So, we use powerful laundry detergent on the costumes that gets rid of stains, kills germs, and makes them feel soft and comfortable to wear for every guest.

    Cleanliness is very important to us, which is why the costumes that are worn will be washed thoroughly each day. We don’t take any shortcuts, and we know that putting the effort in will pay off for us in the long run. Our customers know that they can count on clean costumes that are a pleasure to wear, and those costumes really enhance the experience for them.

    We don’t want anything to detract from the fun of Mushroom Rally go kart racing, so we take care to keep the costumes clean and to use the right cleaning process so that our customers feel safe.

    Professionalism in All We Do

    We value our customers, and we do everything we can to make them feel welcome and at ease. Part of our commitment to our customers is to be as professional and careful as possible in our cleaning and sanitizing practices. This takes time and effort on our part, but it is definitely worth it. We have a great reputation, and it is important to us to keep that up.

    Professional cleaning and sanitizing is a big part of our business. It’s one part of what keeps our karts safe and makes our guests feel comfortable. If you were to hire professional cleaners in your home, you would want to know that they were doing a good job and didn’t take any shortcuts. You might inspect their work afterwards and make sure that it was up to your standards.

    We understand that, and we feel the same way. If you have any concerns about how we clean or sanitize any part of our Mushroom Rally experience, please feel free to ask. We don’t mind questions from our customers, and we delight in being transparent with everyone. You ought to feel good about coming to ride in our karts and bringing your family and friends along. You may have some safety concerns and might be wondering about our cleaning process and what we use to sanitize surfaces. We are happy to provide you with any information we can so that your experience is as pleasant as possible.

    Do Your Part

    How can you help keep Mushroom Rally a safe place for everyone? You can take the time to wash your hands before using our karts and wash your hands after using the restroom facilities as well. Please don’t bring any food or drink into the karts, as they are sanitation and safety hazards. If you are feeling unwell, please stay home and be safe, and then come visit us later on when you are feeling better.

    If you must cough or sneeze while riding one of our karts, please cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve or cough into your shoulder. Then, clean your hands at the earliest opportunity. If you suspect that you are unwell but are not sure, you may want to wear a mask for the safety of everyone else.

    We will do our part to keep the karts, costumes and all touchable surfaces as clean as possible. If you can do your part and follow the health and safety guidelines in this article and those that are posted at the venue, then we will all be safer.

    We hope you have an enjoyable time when you come to visit us, and we will do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and to create as safe a space as possible. Eliminating germs and reducing bacteria is a major priority for us, because we care about your health and safety. We hope this information helps you to feel safe when you come to Mushroom Rally.
