Apr. 26--Ryan Gifford has the need, the need for speed.
"I have always been a racer, ever since I was 15 -- racing motor vehicles of any kind," he said.
At 52, Gifford has turned his passion into a profession.
Gifford and business partner Frank Hinmon have opened Superkart Racing, an indoor go-kart racing track across from the DMV on Schirra Court in southwest Bakersfield.
"All we sell is fun," Gifford said.
The 58,000-square-foot space also includes a fully equipped conference room and party rooms, a snack bar and video games.
