Our 70,000 square-foot kart track is one of the largest single tracks in the country (Not 2 separate small tracks). We're currently working on a new on-board track video which will give a more detailed look at the track. An older video is available on the YouTube Page. The new video will be posted mid-February.
The kart track is over a 3rd of a mile long with 20 turns designed to challenge even the best expert racers.
What separates our indoor track from the rest is the large width of the track. The track is 20ft wide all the way around. The main straight- away is 22ft wide, allowing for exciting grid starts. More room on our track means more opportunities for passing, speeds are greater, and the racing is more incredible.
.:: TRACK RULES ::.
IMPORTANT: By signing the safety waiver you are agreeing that you have read, understood, and will follow our track rules. Please understand these rules are not to dampen your fun, but to provide a safe environment for high-speed kart racing.
When racing, realize these karts ARE NOT bumper cars at an amusement park. If you receive a warning while racing, remember that this is being done to ensure the safety of all involved which, at the end of day, is more important to us than anything else. Please do not respond aggressively or abusively to our track staff as this will only lead to your exclusion from racing.
Green Flag/Light
Go! Drivers start your race. For regular arrive & drive races the green light is displayed not a flag. Once a track marshal motions you out of the pits you can start racing.
Blue Flag
If you’re shown the blue flag, pull to the outside of the track to let faster karts by. Be aware that there may be more than one kart passing. If you are unable to pass a kart, this is no excuse for intentional contact.
Yellow Flag/Light
Drivers must slow down due to unsafe track conditions. Raise your hand to signal you are aware of the caution period. There is absolutely no racing or passing under a yellow condition. A green light will be displayed to signal the end of the caution period and you can resume racing.
Red Flag/Light
If the red light or flag is displayed, slow down and stop as soon as it’s safe to do so. Your kart may shut off automatically for safety reasons.
Black Flag
If you receive the black flag, immediately head to the pit area. This could be for dangerous driving, undone seat-belt, no neck collar, a kart malfunction, or for touching the kart’s motor. Once in the pits, a track marshal will explain the violation and either permit you to rejoin the race or terminate your participation depending on the severity of the infraction.
White Flag
Signals the final lap of the race. Not normally used for arrive & drive races.
Checkered Flag
The winning driver has crossed the finish line. For arrive & drive races the checkered flag signals that time has run out and the race is over. Drivers should slow down and head to the pits. There is NO racing after the checkered flag even if you do not see a yellow light which is normally displayed.
Speed Limiters: All of our karts can be wirelessly controlled. Sometimes, under yellow light conditions, your kart may be slowed for safety reasons. If you feel your kart sputtering, that is because it has been placed on the limiter.
01. Always obey the track marshals. Their job is to insure every customer has a fun yet safe race. Any customer who ignores a warning by a marshal will either be removed from the race or talked to after the race. Do not argue or verbally harass any track marshal; it will not be tolerated. The decision of our track marshals is final. No refunds will be given.
02. Anyone driving aggressively, beyond their own ability, without regard for our rules or the safety of all involved will be warned. A repeated warning will result in a black flag and your immediate termination from the race. No refunds will be given.
IMPORTANT TIP: If you are sliding sideways and hitting the barriers you obviously are not driving safely. Learning to drive better comes from driving slower and getting a better feel for the kart. Add more speed once you are not sliding through every turn.
03. Our karts ARE NOT bumper cars. Any intentional bumping or blocking is considered reckless driving. If you are seen hitting another kart, a “No Bumping” sign will be shown. Continual bumping will result in a “Warning Sign”. Your kart may be placed on a speed limiter to insure you see the warnings by the track marshals. Failure to stop bumping will result in your removal from the race.
04. If you receive a “No Bumping” or “Warning” sign, acknowledge that you have received the warning so the track marshals know you are paying attention and you understand what you did wrong.
05. If you spin the kart out on track, wait for a track marshal to assist you. Under no circumstances should you attempt to get out of the kart or push yourself away from the barriers with either your hands or feet. NEVER drive backwards on the track to try to turn around. Wait for a marshal.
06. Never slow down on track to wait for a friend as this can create a dangerous situation, which you will be black-flagged for.
07. Once you receive the checkered flag stop racing and slow down. Proceed to the pits. Once you come to a stop in the pits stay seated in your kart until you are instructed to get out by a track marshal. We don’t want you to get half way out of your kart and then get hit from behind.
08. The PIT Indoor Kart Racing provides and requires a full-face helmet, neck collar, and closed toe shoes. Customers may bring their own helmets ONLY if they meet the following requirements. Helmet is: Full-Face with impact resistant visor, DOT approved, and in good condition (Not damaged). We don’t allow motocross helmets (even with goggles), pit crew helmets, and open-face helmets. Please understand this is for your safety and insurance reasons.
09. The Pit has a strict “zero tolerance policy” regarding alcohol and/or drug abuse. Any person who fails or refuses to take a breathalyzer test, or appears to be under the influence, will not be permitted to race. No refunds will be given. Please let a cashier or track marshal know if you are on any prescription medicines that may affect your driving.
10. Kart racing poses special risks to people with neck or back problems, heart conditions, anyone who is pregnant, anyone who should not be in a stressful or physically demanding environment. If you have any doubt, please check with your doctor before racing.
11. New customers are required to watch a short safety video.
12. All loose clothing must be tucked in. There is a good chance anything in your pockets will fall out while racing. They're are lockers available to store your personal belongings in. The PIT is not responsible for lost or damaged items. If you think you lost an something on the track, notify a track marshal.
13. Customers with hair longer than shoulder length or wearing loose clothing that could obstruct their vision or become entangled in any moving part will not be permitted to drive. Hair that is longer than shoulder length must be tucked into the back of your shirt.
14. There is absolutely no smoking or consumption of alcohol anywhere inside The PIT.
