This place is a blast! Bring some friends to race with, you won't regret the night. They give you a super easy to understand breakdown on everything you need to know. So even a beginner or someone who has never drove a go cart before can come here. If you prove to the staff that you can safely operate the carts, they can remotely give your carts additional gears so you can really get some speed if you can handle it. Bar, food, arcade, they even have an F1 simulation you can play.
Very accommodating as we were late from getting lost. We got our room for cake and pizza and hit the arcade. The racing itself was an awesome experience! I'd do it again.
If you’re looking for a serious adrenaline rush, K1 Speed is the place to be! I took my two kids recently, and we had an absolute blast. From the moment you put that helmet on, the competitive energy in the building is contagious. The karts are fast, the track layout is challenging, and the whole experience is incredibly addictive—we honestly didn't want to stop racing. While it is definitely a bit on the pricier side, the level of fun made it worth every penny for the memories we made. If you want a high-octane day out with the family, this is easily one of the best experiences in town. We’re already planning our next trip back!
The electric carts are pretty quick, with no exhaust fumes. This is my first time here and I haven't raced in 10 years. The acceleration is great but capped. There's an auto break and accelerator lock out in various turns, so if your passing strategy is late breaking, trail breaking, or cutting in just know that you can't use all your tools. If you hoped to make it up by flatting the chicane, you can't because you will either hit a speed cap an acceleration cap or some auto braking (I think there's some combination but you can feel the engine cut off/ramp down). So probably really great for kids and people who can't follow the rules, but this isn't racing (on one random track day with newbies). I prefer to lose on my own merits. Still pretty fun for everyone else, not the worst forearm workout. But I probably won't be back. I'm sure the electronic nanny really saves on Kart and track wear, making the business easier to run accessibly, and I hope it gets kids into motorsports, but for an old and slow amateur with experience - hated it. +1 star because the kids had a great time (other wise this is a two star experience) and you can have a beer or margarita while you lament how terrible you are. No "next on deck" board that I could easily see.
