We all had a lot of fun at K1! There were 9 of us, including kids. They're pretty efficient and we all did three races (kids went separately, driving kids carts) in about two hours. I would have been fine doing just two races. On our last race, we used the shifter cars, but I preferred the regular cars (the shifter cars seemed rougher, bumpier). Two of the older kids drove with the adults on the last race and liked the speed of the adult cars, but also commented on the rough ride. There's one employee who really likes his job and seemed to be having a great time!
It’s a great place to get very competitive! My work made an “team building” event here, and They were nice and helpful... my only complaint is that some of the racers are really aggressive and they seem to be regulars, I got hit twice by a teenager that was not from our group and he even yelled at me. I was not there trying to win but to have a good time. But overall really fun!
K1 is surprisingly well designed and very well run. There's plenty to do and watch while you wait for your turn at the wheel. The comfortable "lounge" atmosphere is great for hanging out and time flies by quickly. The track is fun and, with fourteen laps per race, you get plenty of time to get moving. Great for parties, too.
I went to K1 Speed with 3 friends. It was all of ours first time there! I never knew this place was here or what K1 Speed was. We all raced 3 times and were in and out in about 1 1/2 hours on a Saturday afternoon. The guys in the cart area were amazing. The manager had to help a racer on the track who couldn't go in reverse....because the guy wasn't listening when directions were being given...lol! We all had a great time and want to come back soon with more friends!
Great place karts are in good shape well maintained. The track is a good course which is also well maintained. The only concern is the karts felt a little down on power. It maybe that they turned the power down because of the amount of people on track and quite a few newcomers to kart racing. In my next visit it's a question worth asking. I am not convinced on the pricing model, the forced membership to race as a drop in. I never received my free items that came with the membership either. I have would have to think before going back, purely on the fact if it's a good deal or not.
