Interesting track with a slick section on the upper level. The attendants are very helpful and the manager Diana is great. One of the better k1s in the area

If you have races at a different location they probably won't transfer because this is a "franchise" and not with corporate I would presume this is why they will not be invited to the Grand Prix

Carts are governed at 27-30 mph for walk-ins, while league is 45.speed4, walk-ins go different speeds and slow down at 3 or 4 points in race which makes the experience go down for the price of admission. No physical print outs of lap times and mph only via email. Staff was polite, but personally, I would not come back unless I had a first-time driver or I was on league.

Karts are slow. Like painfully slow. Top speed is severely limited. It'll cut out power and leave you bogging going up the elevation and coming down onto the front straight. For the price of these races it's pretty disappointing. Would not recommend for adults.

Paid 27.99 to have my Kart Restricted on a course of experienced adults. Kart shook violently when the restrictors did their thing and worse off the employees. I had my harness loosened to have unsafe slack after properly adjusting it and was mocked by the same employee for not getting good times in a cart that goes slower than I can run.

Save your money and buy a personal go Kart or just go racing with real cars instead. The aggravation of the restrictors is definitely not worth the attempt at a leisure outing.

Since a year ago when I went there, this place has went to the toilet. They make the car slow because they’re falling apart. You’ll never have to use the brake pedal. They should just take them off the cars. And then when you get going to fast they’ll start shaking like grandma’s old POS, they had to replace one of my cars mid race because it almost fell apart on the track went for my daughter’s birthday and she is not happy. She almost fell asleep while driving.they should’ve given us a discount and told us the cars didn’t work, right, but instead went ahead and charge us $180 to barely drive cars around I will never go here again and neither should you spend your money at a real K-1 because this is not a real K1

Kept the speed at level 3 due to an undisclosed safety emergency. The karts were very slow. Not worth the money. Track was ok. Also no GLOKARTS

Go karting is fun but find another location… they control the speed of cars way too much and slow you down even when accelerating the entire time. Been to many other locations that are better. Also most of the staff is unhelpful and not paying attention, so they kept messing up with everyone’s rides.

Appears to be permanently closed? That or terrible customer service with no humans answering questions.

Well, Carts and unique track are fun but the system isn't so much. Hard to understand how to get into which race once you pay becauee the desk person does it all and, frankly, it is quite confusing. We were a walk-in group of nine. Eight seemed to be the max cars in a race but they would only allow 6 and they dont allow back to back races so we had a heck of a time trying to understand who in our group was going to race with who and when. It would help a lot if there was a monitor on the wall that showed the races and racers scheduled for each. None of us ever received our times via email like promised in sign up. It's not cheap: it would be nice to get what paying for.

Though the outside of the building and the parking lot needed some maintenance, it was very clean inside. Has a two-level racing track, and we were able to get the rides for my son quickly even on a Sunday. The only downside we experienced was that we were not able to use the rides in our account that we previously purchased at a bay area K1 location. Looks like this is a franchise location that doesn't honor the rides purchased at a K1 corporate location.

We had a birthday party here and it was a blast. The course was fun and the kids and adults got to race. And things got competitive amongst the adults.lol
No WiFi if you need it for some reason. We brought a Photo Booth that required it. Kind of a bust on that.our fault for not checking

Firstly it was fun as a group activity, despite the issues. If you're a casual and just there to goof around then I can see how it would be 5 stars, the cars do have a lot of torque until you hit the dynamic speed limiter. The speed limiter is a nessecary evil to keep it open to everyone, but it really takes the skill out of a lot. You can flat out almost the entire track ridding the speed limiter, makes it impossible to cleanly pass someone unless they let you by. Secondly where the mechanical issues. First race one member in my group had a part scraping on the ground and had to swap it, another persons car died middle of race and had to swap. Second race my car was completely underpowered until I complained and they fixed it remotely, and another persons kart wouldn't go at the start. Spent a lot of paid race laps with some people having issues.

Fun place to try electric Karts. The track has 2 levels which was a new experience for me. Skill is necessary but another significant factor is which car you get. It was very obvious that some cars are faster than others.

Great track! Fast cars! But need more entertainment between. Games are outdated.need some snack options. Most peep hang out at the mall between races.
