K1 Speed: Inaccurate Height Sign — We Have the Photos to Prove It I’m not one to leave negative reviews, but what happened at K1 Speed warrants a warning for other families — and we have photographic proof. K1 Speed’s posted minimum height for Junior racing is 48”. My son is exactly 48”. We made the trip specifically because he qualifies. What we discovered on arrival is that K1 Speed’s own height measurement sign is wrong by 2 inches. We brought a tape measure and documented it on the spot. In our photos, you can clearly see that the line labeled “48”” on their sign actually sits at the 50” mark on a standard tape measure. Their sign has been mounted or printed incorrectly — meaning children who are a legitimate 48” are being turned away based on a miscalibrated sign. My son sat in the kart. He could reach the pedals. There was no functional or safety reason to exclude him. Yet staff still refused to let him race, citing the sign — the very sign we had just proven was inaccurate. We showed staff the photos. No resolution. No apology. No willingness to escalate or problem-solve. The staff was very nice, but unfortunately unable to help. K1 Speed, this is not a minor mix-up. Families are planning trips around your stated requirements, and your measurement tool is provably wrong. Fix the sign, and train your staff to handle situations where your own equipment is at fault. Photos attached. The tape measure doesn’t lie. #k1speed PS we were able to go to another place that had an accurate 48” measurement and all was good.
Nice facility and the track itself is fun, but the overall experience felt pretty unfair. We went as a group of 4 early in the day, and there was no one else racing. Instead of letting us just race each other, they added one of their staff members into our group. He was clearly much faster and ended up completing the required 12 laps while the rest of us were still around lap 5. Since the race automatically ends when someone hits 12 laps, our session got cut really short which made it feel like we didn’t get what we paid for. At around $40 per race, that’s pretty disappointing. If you’re going to mix staff into races, there should be some kind of balance or separate sessions so customers can actually enjoy the full experience.
We went at 6:00 pm on a Wednesday and had the track all to ourselves. It was great. Only needed one round as it was 12 laps, and by the time it was over, my wrist hurt a bit from steering the cart. Friends went for two and felt that was enough. Overall, good fun. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Fun fun fun📣📣. We had a blast. The customer service from ALL staff was great. All I gotta say is the carts are fast🏎️🏎️ so be prepared. They have junior carts & teen and up size carts.
