From the reviews
Lots of fun! There are 2 indoor tracks, one bigger than the other. The big one seems to have the faster karts and has longer straightaways. The smaller track has more curves and bends. The smaller track also runs two sizes of carts, one for small kids and one for larger kids/adults.
Fun experience long wait times but worth it. You gotta alr least wait 30 minutes to be able to ride but the race itself is super fun I would recommend buying 2 or 3 races cause one is Not enough.
Lots of fun. Nice facility and with fairly good food and a bar. Getting in the carts definitely gets the adrenaline going. The staff are very helpful and very nice and understanding. They keep the drivers very safe, saw them limit the car one teenager was driving who ran into the back of several other carts.
Visited Friday afternoon around 3PM, the wait time was 1.5 hr for both the tracks. If you are racing for the first time, I recommend doing 2 races because the first race is like a flash, it is completed as soon as you figure out everything.
