For us, it wasn't good. The people that race have been doing it for a long time because it was intense and not fun for a novices. The kids section cars were to small for people who needed to go on more of a slower pace. Its expensive. Especially if you don't keep going race after race. People bumped you. You basically had to stay to outside. They were hard to steer. I wish they had heats for different skill levels. Cool looking place. Arcade games were pricey. That is all.
A great time. The Monday special is the way to start. Had a blast. It’s not the fun little 5 hp go carts. The steering is heavy, but allows precision. Not sure if any of the wheel controls do anything. If you’re lucky a “pro “ will come in and you can learn from his lines and pedals. The back straight is fast. $60 spent, worth it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great 13th Birthday Party Experience My son celebrated his 13th birthday here with a group of 8 friends and they had a great time. The staff was super nice and helpful, the karts were clean and fast, and everything felt well organized. The pizza and wings were also good, which made it easy to keep the kids happy between races. Overall, a fun and smooth experience. We would definitely come back.
Visited early afternoon on a Friday and there was almost no one here. Found out it gets busy after 5pm and when it's raining outside. Went with a group of 5 people and we were able to get fitted for a helmet and in a kart with a few minutes with no wait. Going with a group when it wasn't busy was great as we were the only ones on the adult track (the other track is for kids) Your forearms will be sore from steering and it's about 12 laps per race so you might make it 2 at most 3 races. I had a awesome time and would go back again and if you enjoy speed racing and being competitive I highly recommend it.
