Editorial Review for K1 Speed – by Nicole Christie
The Experience
Grab a helmet, hop into a kart and put pedal to metal for a wild racing experience that can easily become an addiction. As you whip around the south corner of the track, you can check your time on the readerboard and, at the end of the race, you'll receive a printout detailing your various lap times, overall race time and where you placed among the day's racers. Note: True speed demons may be disappointed that the electric karts top out at 26 mph, but will still have a blast ripping through the curves and envisioning themselves as Michael Andretti.
Facts
Be forewarned: Those less blessed in the biceps may have trouble steering the karts and end up seeing more wall than track. Also, be sure to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes, although they can lend you both if you forget.

I found the front desk staff to be very sweet and professional as heck- Seriosly --one race is not enough-- be prepaired to spend 50-60 bucks. I went with a bachlor party-- i guess they do them all the time-- we got free pool cause we were a scheduled event and they even changed the tv to seahawks for us so that we could watch the game--this is hands down the best place for you and your buddies to come hang out-- i would give it more stars if i could
Pros: Guys place--Awsome Staff!
Cons: location-- hard to find-- behind ethan allen

I've been to this place when it was Champs, and the level of service is really the same. the people act relatively friendly and are informative if you're a first-timer. The karts are wonderful! they have great torque and really zip through the courses numerous hairpins and straights. Even though its a racing facility, they have a food counter and some gaming areas, pool tables, and a bunch of tv's for watching races and whatever sporting event they put on. I've never had the food there, but they give you free soda for large groups. But unfortunatly, the track isn't very big. You can really see this on their website; the tracks in their other locations are ENOURMOUS!!! Despite that, the karts go through it well and its bundles of fun if you're a die-hard race fan. Their aren't many karting places in the metro area, and the ones that exist are usually part of a theme park. For real racing, this is the place!
Pros: Karts, services, staff
Cons: track is short, pricey
