This was my second visit to Fast Lap this year and they definitely did not disappoint!
Pros:
Open late (until 11 pm) most of the week
Friendly staff
Quick carts
Cons:
Very hot (temperature hot).
Helmet visors need are all scratched
So I took my girlfriend's brother here for his birthday and it was super dead. I was surprised considering it was a Saturday evening. I could have sworn it was going to be packed (totally wrong... we were the only ones there). I had purchased 2 races for each of us. Since we were the only one there, the worker running the track gave us the option to do one 20 minute run or the typical two runs at 10 minutes a piece. He recommended doing the 20 minute run as it would allow to master all the turns and give us a chance to conquer the track. I figured that it was an awesome opportunity to do so and that's what we did. He ended up beating the first half of the race, but I finished in first at the end.
Info & Tips:
If you have never been to Fast Lap, be prepared by bringing your driver's license and to fill out a waiver prior to starting. The next step is watching a 2 minute safety video. It's a little cheesy, but your attention is needed. After doing so, I recommend you use the restroom if need be. You don't want to suit up then have to use the restroom 2 minutes before race time! I love dressing up. I think it's part of the experience. Suit up in your choice of red or black. After going through the second set of doors, you have other safety gear to put on(not in this order ha): Helmet, head sock, neck brace, and racing gloves (optional just like the race suit).
Don't forget to pick up your paper, which tracks your best time, fastest lap, top speed, etc. etc. Keep it for bragging rights and take a picture with it on the podium (you'll see the podium).
Totally awesome. More so if they had helmets with visors that weren't scratched. If you have your own helmet, you may bring that one. Don't forget to check out the photo wall in the office and see what celebs have raced the tracks of Fast Lap. I'd most definitely recommend this place. Even though it's family fun, I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids. I could see how it could be dangerous...and don't think that you are too old to have fun at Fast Lap. That's nonsense and a tell-tale sign that you are probably scared to put the petal to the metal!
