Yes, we recommend that you enter your own information when purchasing gift cards, even if it`s someone else. The card will be emailed to you or USPS, depending on your preference, which can then be forwarded to the intended recipient when you are ready to give the speed gift. All of this is done in the name of safety, as we would hate it if you injured yourself or another runner. As soon as our employees see that you can handle the current speed setting, your kart will be increased to the highest speed level. It can take a run or two with clean runs. Hi Pamela!

While racing has its inherent risks, K1 Speed takes all possible steps to ensure that all customers enjoy an authentic racing experience in a safe environment. All go-karts are regularly inspected and maintained, our PROTEX barriers are the safest in the industry, and any driver who does not drive responsibly can either have their go-kart speed reduced remotely by a member of our track staff or be kicked out of competition to ensure the safety of others. Before each race, each driver receives a safety briefing covering track safety, rules, meaning of flags and signs, and go-kart operations. In addition, each runner must wear a current DOT-approved helmet with a full face covering and be equipped with a visor or goggles (provided for each runner).

Listen carefully to make sure you and the rest of your group have a smooth session without unexpected speed drops. Hello, Gena! Our adult karts can reach speeds of 45 mph (the fastest in the industry), while our junior karts are capable of reaching up to 20-25 mph.
See you on the track! No previous experience is required to ride at K1 Speed. All drivers are informed about track safety, rules, flag/shield meaning and go-kart operations before their first race. Hello! How fast are teen karts? Do they have the same speed as junior karts? Our electric karts are not like the ones you`re used to in a family center. They are MUCH faster. Because of this speed, our go-karts have several speed settings controlled by our staff. All beginner K1 Speed riders will be at the second highest speed level. This allows our staff to monitor your performance at this current rate without taking risks and throwing you into the deep end. All new drivers receive mandatory training on the safety and rules of indoor kart racing. K1 Speed recommends runners wear closed-toe shoes and pull long hair into a ponytail. We will provide you with all the running equipment you need.
Remember that indoor karting is a real race and not a fun ride. Accidents can happen if you don`t follow the rules and pay attention to the flags. As long as you don`t do any of the above races for one or two races, your speed should be at the highest setting. That said, there may be exceptions (for example, if it is a busier track with a lot of incidents, we can reduce the speed on each kart for safety reasons). Teenagers drive in adult go-karts as soon as they are old enough. As such, they can walk as fast as an adult once they have a few experience sessions. Track masters do not start them at the fastest speed. The karts will enter the track individually. On the first lap, you will notice that your kart has not reached maximum speed.
Use this time to warm up your tires by safely deflecting your kart left and right – just like the pros (well, minus Kimi Raikkonen). Warming up your tires is crucial if you want your kart to immediately adhere to the track surface.
