Schwalmtal --
Rests on this go-kart track, an evil curse? In September 2008 a ten year old boy died in an accident with a Leihkart, in July 2009 a shed went up in flames.
On the night of Friday, the train was burnt down completely! Was it arson? Motorists on the A52 had been found against 1.15 Clock smoke and sparks from the kart track at Raderberg in Schwalmtal and called the fire department. When the forces arrived, were the buildings of the plant already blazing fire. There was nothing to save more, it was just a matter of leaving controlled burn down the wooden houses. It is the second fire, in July 2009 after a shed collapsed already in ashes. In both cases, the suspicion of arson!
Kuka's owner Heinz with the nerves at the end. "We are very close before the season," says the entrepreneur. He still wants to start running again next weekend, wants to set up toilets and snack cart.
As in the first case of fire Kuka will again offer a reward for information leading to the perpetrators. "But this time it will be higher than the $ 1,000 of that time!" He suspects a bad system behind the fire: "Unfortunately, there are people who saw our train like ruined."

TÜV investigated karts and track, said Kuka, however, free from guilt. The rail operator has invested in a new Kartflotte anyway.
