  • WARNING WARNING!!! I took my two boys 8 and 10 to the track on 12/26/2011. I purchase 2 races for each of them. This was the first time my boys have been to speed street and were a little nervous about driving the cars but I assured them they would be ok. I signed them up for the junior race and the first race the boys did great. Both the 8 and 10 year old had a lot of fun, the cars worked, and they came off the track excited! The second heat went great until my 10 year old's car had the gas pedal stick at full throttle. He literally jumped one barrier that sent him into the other lane. The throttle continued to be stuck and the cart slammed into a double barrier. He bounced off the double barrier and with the throttle still stuck he was heading the opposite direction of traffic. He jumped a single barrier where the car finally quit. Fortunately there were no other cars on the portion of the track where he was going in the opposite direction. 3 workers ran out to help my son I also ran out there. When I reached my son he was completely panicked. He was terrified and didn't understand why the car kept going when he wasn't pushing the pedals. I consoled my son for the next 15-20 minutes. Other people who witnessed the event offered their condolences. One witness said his cart also had a gas pedal stick. Not one speed street staffer came up and asked if they could help. Nobody seemed concerned. I decided I would go talk with someone about the car. I first spoke with the mechanic who after realizing I was just looking for an apology and reassurance they would look into the problem was nice and sincere. I then tracked down the owner (Tex) and began to explain what had happened. He didn't ask if my son was ok, he didn't try to apologize. He said this is why you sign a waiver, cars have problems like this all the time, there was nothing he could do, and said I shouldn't have come to speed street. At that point I told him to quit being an a hole. He then said he was going to kick me out of the building. As we walked toward the front of the building I told him I was just looking for an apology and to make sure this type of thing wouldn't happen again so that other people wouldn't be hurt. He told me to get out because I was trespassing. I told him I wasn't trespassing and he hollered to one of his staff to call the police. I told him to go ahead and call the police. The owner then walked back behind the counter. I left not wanting to cause a scene, but could not believe the owners ignorance. I will never again go to speed street. Please beware of faulty gas pedals and warn your children.
