So, I must have driven past this place along the 405 North dozens of times and always thought it would be cool to check out. We'll, a Team Building experience led us to this location and the opportunity to experience it finally happened. Lets set expectations up front, this is not a K1 place with modern cars and fancy tracks, this is the OG style of 1980's Gocart style and this is one of the places to have that old school experience. After signing the standard "its your own fault" waiver, you enter the main hall which has a bunch of old school "claw-grab" machines with all different prize types. There are a few shooter video games and some air hockey. There are alsoway over priced vending machines ( bring your own bottled water.) One of the cool things about this place is that its not just for adults, there are also kiddie carts and tracks for children. There are height requirements that must be met for safety, but its super cool there is a place for "littles" to zoom around. For the adults there are three tracks, there is the "Drifting Track," a more "Formula One" style track with smaller lanes, and then there is the main track which is the longest and most fun in my opinion. Each track manages the carts and times so you know whos first and how fast at the end of the race. While the establishment is older, the carts and track all seem well maintained and everything runs well. The only issue I had with the experience was the design of the carts. They are very deep and difficult to get in and out of, but thats the nature of "old-school" gocarts. The group that i went with had a great time over two hours and by the end everyone was more than satisfied. It gets hot in the late morning amd afternoon, so we were sweating by the time we were done, I might consider returning in late afternoon or early evening when the sun is setting. Maybe even a little evening racing would be cool to do.
