From the reviews
Signing in was pretty annoying, we tried about 7 times to check in, until finally go through. Race is well organized and fun, although it is quite expensive. We didn't see an explicit no video recording, but they requested we stop recording, but pictures allowed without flash.
Place looks nice. They have an arcade area, lounge area and sell some pretty good food. They have a podium to take pictures of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. It’s quite fun riding the go karts. Only reason I have 4 starts instead of 5 is that the karts speed is capped and they control your brakes.
Location and vibe • The facility resembles a warehouse that has been transformed into an indoor racetrack, giving it an urban, industrial feel. There are dedicated areas for sitting and hanging out, as well as rooms designed for birthday parties and group events.
Our son racing journey is starting at this location and while we have to commute to get there. We are very thankful for this facility and their staff members. We have so many questions and they kindly guide us through our process.
