| - The fam and I decided to have a fast and furious day at K1 Speed. The establishment is big and clean. They have a consession stand, an arcade room, and plenty of seating inside. Ample parking available outside.
We arrived before noon on a Saturday. There were already groups racing and waiting to race, but the place wasn't packed. Check-in was smooth. We each had to sign a waiver, pay, then choose our head wraps. You pay per race:
1 Race - $22
2 Races - $35
3 Races - $48
We bought one race each for myself and my SO and 3 races for the little speeder. There was also another fee. I believe it was a yearly fee of some sort. You just pay for it once. We all wanted to race together, but adults and children are divided into separate races. An attendant alternates the races between children and adults. As first time drivers, we received a briefing on rules and safety. The gokarts are electric powered and easy to maneuver. A big screen right above the finish line displays your ranking throughout the entire race. Each session lasts about 10 minutes.
After each race, you can pick up a Race Result Sheet at the counter. It shows your time, speed, and rank against other drivers. It also provides a graph picture. Pretty neat. We didn't try the food, but I saw the usual snacks: popcorn, nachos, soda, etc.
Overall, we had a great time. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our little speeder had so much fun and loved getting to see his ranking go up with every race. Before we left, we took pictures at their race awards podium. Fun place for the family!
