What visitors say

Visited Friday afternoon around 3PM, the wait time was 1.5 hr for both the tracks. If you are racing for the first time, I recommend doing 2 races because the first race is like a flash, it is completed as soon as you figure out…

So impressed with K1 Speed. Such a find! Entire staff completely focused on racing, service and seemed genuinely happy to be working in racing. Tracks compelling design. Carts in good condition. Thought the entire space was pristine…

Took the family on a Wednesday at 1PM and had an excellent time. The staff was courteous, professional and informative. We plan on going back very soon!
