Q: Can I bring my own helmet?
A: Of course you can but it has to be a closed-face helmet that’s DOT approved. We DON’T allow open-face helmets, motocross helmets (even with goggles), or pit crew helmets. Motorcycle helmets with the movable front piece are allowed as long as its DOT approved.
Q: How long is a race?
A: Races are 8 minutes long and start when the last kart leaves the pit area. Usually you can do 8-10 laps depending on how fast you go.
Q: What’s the track like?
A: Our track is spread out over 70,000 sq-ft. It’s a 3rd of a mile in length and wider than most indoor tracks at 20 feet wide. There’s an assortment of 20 turns designed to challenge even the best road-course specialists and a 22ft wide front straightway for grid starts.
Q: What karts do you guys have?
A: We have 20 European Sodi RX7 adult karts and 10 European Sodi Youth karts (gas powered of course). Both have Honda motors with the adult karts at 9hp and the youth karts at 5.5hp.
Q: How fast can the karts go?
A: The Adult Sodi RX7s are capable of speeds 45mph+. The Sodi Youth Karts reach 35mph+. These karts are a lot faster than amusement park karts.
Q: Is the racing safe?
A: Yes. Indoor kart racing is one of the safest forms of racing because the race takes place in a controlled environment, monitored by our well-trained track marshals.

Q: My son/daughter races professionally; can I show you their racing license so they can race the adult karts?
A: It’s awesome to see youths with great talent but our insurance policy stipulates that a youth driver (ages 8 - 15) can only drive our youth karts. There is, however, an exception to this rule. If a youth is between the ages of 13 - 15 they can take our "Advanced Youth Karting Course", which familiarizes them with our adult karts. Upon completion of the course, that youth (ages 13 - 15) is allowed to drive our adult karts anytime. They MUST pass OUR course which certifies them under OUR insurance policy that they can safely drive the adult karts. NO EXCEPTIONS. For more information check out the "Driving Schools" page.
Q: I have a small child; can I drive with them on my lap?
A: No.
Q: A bunch of my buddies want to race… Can we get a group discount?
A: Sure. We offer group discounts for 8 or more people. Check out the "Regular Pricing" page.
