Know Before You Go
- Booking model
- Most indoor tracks sell timed sessions (10-15 min) at $20-35 each, with packages of 2-3 races discounted. Reservations strongly recommended for evenings and weekends.
- Kart speed
- Adult karts top out at 35-50 mph on indoor tracks — quick enough to feel fast in a concrete-walled facility. Junior karts run slower with rev-limiters by age tier.
