Great experience! The karts are pretty fast! We did a walk-in on Sunday and the wait time was 10 minutes, for first timers you have to buy a one year "license" for $8.50, and a helmet cover for $3. The track was good, a little bumpy in some parts which causes the karts to shake, you also get a printed results for your race where you can see all the times, as well as a $5 coupon, there's a bar/food inside and some arcade games too.
I love racing whether it’s four wheels or two my business partner, and I decided to take some stress out and came to K1 located close to downtown. parking is gated and safe if you’ve never done this before it’s a must. It’s a great adrenaline rush and I hope your forearms are in shape. The two young ladies that worked there were somewhat helpful they spoke way to fast. It’s kind of expensive but it’s worth every dollar if you’re into speed. I recommend bringing your own helmet if you have one and a pair of gloves, the right shoes will also help. your racing against time not necessarily trying to pass everybody so remember smooth, is fast. They do serve food and alcohol and there’s plenty of space they host parties and events. A great place to have fun and do something different
Took boys for their first time. They enjoyed it! 1 race is like 12 laps!! Wait time was about 40 minutes on a Saturday. They provide face gear , helmets, and a training session for all riders.
We came here for my daughter's 10th birthday. It was so fun. 10 kids total. They did 2 races. All the scores are emailed as well as posted on the big screen. There was an award ceremony with medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. My daughter got a birthday medal. We got arcade cards for the kids too. We had pizza and boneless wings with drinks as part of the package. There was enough time for cake and presents. We spent about 3 hours total for the party. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. We left a nice tip to show our appreciation. I would definitely recommend K1 Speed!
