| - This is a great place for some air-conditioned fun in this crazy desert we live in. Bored? Sick of movies, the mall, and arcades? Check out K1! This place is well organized - you arrive, register, wait for your name to be called, listen to a brief lecture on the rules of the raceway, and before you know it, you're behind the wheel of an electric racing kart whizzing around the track at speeds of up to 45 mph! They even give you a printout at the end to show how ranked compared to others in your race, and it keeps track of all your past races so you can see if your time is improving.
The only down side to this place is it can get pretty busy. When I first arrived, I was quoted a 2 to 2.5 hour wait, so I decided to "reserve" a spot for a later time. Did a little shopping, had some dinner, got back 30 minutes before my race time, and my name was announced even earlier than expected. They say they don't really take reservations, but the nice ladies at the counter were helpful and basically let me reserve a spot for a later time.
They alternate between adult races and junior races so you don't have to worry about running some poor little kid off the road. This place is good for novice and experienced races, but they don't group you according to level. If you're a novice, they will flag you to slow down so the other crazy racers can safely pass you.
