In the spring, while still pursuing racing in the NASCAR series, Tagliani and other investors are set to open the $18 million TAG E-karting & Amusement Centre.

“
The feeling you get when you're behind the wheel of a go-kart is simply indescribable.

A November 17 news release states it will be “the country’s first multi-level electric go-karting centre,” and will feature “the world’s first karting track that runs through a laser tag arena.”
"We had to find the perfect location for a mega project like this," said Tagliani in a statement.
“At one point, an opportunity presented itself to revitalize this sector of Sainte-Thérèse, and we took it right away."
And, almost like Vin Diesel engaging the nitrous in a Fast and Furious movie, racers at the TAG E-karting & Amusement Centre will compete in Italian-made electric go-karts with built-in “boost buttons” when it’s time to overtake opponents.
There will be "three tracks on three levels — one for adults, one for children, and a super track combining the two."
“The feeling you get when you're behind the wheel of a go-kart is simply indescribable,” said Tagliani in a statement. “It's really what got me hooked on motorsports and what shaped my career afterwards.”
The centre will also offer many other activities for thrill-seekers including axe-throwing, bowling, laser tag, trampolines, virtual reality games, arcades, an interactive wall, and a 7D interactive cinema.
