League racer from K1 trying out the new track for the first time. Staff are helpful and safety is absolutely number one. They don't mess around. Riders are instructed to avoid contact and if there is noncompliance the individual is penalized and if the behavior continues that rider is banned. The rental karts are in great condition, the track is fun with enough technical skill needed to perform better and better but not discourage. Snacks are available for purchase bottle drinks, and package snacks. A bottle of soda is $4 as of March 2026. We were not able to utilize their race simulators as they were closed for league race day. They look nice though 🤷☺️ Be respectful, make friends, and learn from others. It's a great opportunity to satisfy that need for speed is a safe way.
Five stars isn’t enough for Music City Kartplex. We’re brand new to karting, and our seven-year-old just wanted to get out there and go fast - but the kart we bought has given us nothing but headaches since day one. Their team has gone above and beyond helping us troubleshoot and keep our racer on the track. They didn’t have to invest that kind of time in a new family, but they did. What’s surprised us even more is the community. Every other family at the track has been welcoming, encouraging, and quick to share advice when we’ve needed it. It feels less like a business and more like a place where people genuinely love the sport and want to bring new families into it. If you’re thinking about getting your kid into karting, this is the place. Thank you, Jeff, and thanks to everyone who’s helped us along the way.
Amazing experience and worth the drive to race around the track for 8 minute laps. Wouldn't consider this adventure to be cheap but worth the fun for a day trip. Staff was very welcoming, professional and open to answering any of our questions. Very prompt on start times for races. Planning to go again in the future when we have friends/family in town.
This is the best Go-Kart track I've ever been to! It's so much fun and the go-karts are easy to drive. My dad, grandpa, and best friend had such a fun time racing each other. I hope this place gets more attention in the future. I'll definitely be back again someday.
