3 reviews for Chicago Indoor Racing
Ever wonder how difficult it would be to shoot a soft spongy ball through a small hole in a basketball goal ... using a hand held scoop ... while maneuvering a bumper car ... fending off a team of others in bumper cars fighting to stop you from scoring? It's harder than you may think but a whole load of fun.
CyberSport is a variation of the popular Whirlyball. The main difference is that one is far more physical than the other. While Whirlyball is like a street brawl with players encouraged to smash into others, CyberSport requires more finesse and penalizes excessive bumping. The CyberSport bumper cars are newer and more maneuverable, probably from not having received as much abuse.
If you are looking for a teeth rattling experience, head over to a Whirlyball facility. If you want the fun without the pain, CyberSport is for you.

This review is basically the same as the review for the Buffalo Grove location. The differences between the two are that the tracks that you race on are different and the non racing activities are greatly expanded (more pool, shuffleboard, etc.). This facility is brand new and beautiful, flat screen televisions everywhere, great place to watch some sports post racing :) . Below is my review for the other location but everything still applies:
This is as close to real racing you're going to get without having to spend thousands of dollars to strap into a real race car! The karts here go way faster and handle much much better than an "amusement" kart you would drive at the Wisconsin Dells or something along that line. This place is great for corporate type outings or parties. They give you everything you need to race (helmet and racing suit), just show up and be ready to race. The "league" racing scene here is very strong if you are interested in honing your racing skills. This is a great place for anyone to go to if they have any interest in racing at all. The food is pretty good and the bartenders are fun and very helpful.

This place is great if you're serious about racing or have a company that really knows how to throw a corporate event. Sometimes I just like to come unannounced and do a race or two, but that doesn't really fly here. CIR is definitely quality at it's finest, but at times inconvenient for us less organized types.
