K1 Speed

Was here with a group of friends and Had a blast! Will definitely be back! Looking forward to bringing my kids too.

Love this place! I have 2 children and they absolutely love racing here! My daughter is in the awkward stage where she could drive but she’s just not quite tall enough at places like Rascals. Here though she fits all requirements to safely race on her own without having to be my passenger, which is exactly what she wants. Also we were excited to find out they offered a junior racing league for my son. Overall K1 is a great facility and perfect for some family fun!

Great time for adults will definetly be going back! The hubby loved it. Can’t wait to take the kids.

Great time with a group of friends. We’ll run, enjoyable competition. Great activity for kids too! Will be back– gotta beat a couple of friends who finished strong tonight!

Was one of the best times of my life in Indy. I was able to create awesome memories there!’ It’s great father and son bonding time!!!

I took our teenage sons to this location after I had purchased a Groupon to try it out for a date night for me and the hub. Unfortunately, the Groupon expired but K1 honored the value, so no money lost and we got to see the place. Right when you walk in the doors excitement builds as you make your very own membership card under the high cieling concert lights. It’s wall-​to-​wall racing gear and paraphanilia, there are comfy seating areas made of racing chairs that overlook the indoor racetrack (they sit low and snug, of so comfy… a bit too snug on the way up and out of them though for ol’ mom. lol). The wait wasn’t long since we just signed up for the «arrive and drive» deal. The boys raced once and had a good time and signed up for another race; and that second race they had an even better time. They were a little more comfortable and I was able to relax and watch them at one of the many tables they have along the track for the onlookers. The racers are provided with a printout of very specific stats of their race and the rules encourage them to race against time not each other. They have staff members that flag drivers to allow faster drivers to pass. We did see a brutal head-​on into the wall hit by a kid, and there was no damage to car or kid that we could see. But the impact was brutal! The kid walked away from the race and I’m sure he had the wind knocked out of him, at the very least. It was crazy, but it definitely added to the high-​octane environment. For me, it made me realize that my husband and I couldn’t take a hit like that, not even a little bit of one with our backs and necks as cranky as they are; so it was probably for the best that we didn’t end up using the Groupon for my husband and me. But it was a hit with the boys, and I think our girls would like it too!

After seeing other poor reviews, we were very skeptical about our first visit. However, we were pleasantly surprised! Great experience, would visit again!

K1 Speed, giving them one star is being optimistic. I opened this Unilocal account to share my experience. The facilities are impressive but that’s where it ends. Several of us decided to come race here for the first time. First impressions the staff is short tempered and the bathrooms are filth. After registering at a computer terminal we were told it was a one hour wait. An hour and a half later we were told one hour more. This would not work so we asked for a refund. We were issued a refund by an ill tempered manager that informed us that $ 7 of our costs would not be refunded because of a yearly subscription fee we paid with our ride that they would not return to us. This corporate run business is garbage the people at corporate are the ones to blame! We will never return. Fast Times may not have the facilities K1 does but I would much rather go there as I would never give my money to K1 Speed.

As of this writing, I’m increasing the average rating!
I’ll start with the good — the actual racing is a good time. The carts are fast, and electric vs. gas has some benefits — don’t smell like gas, it’s not too loud watching that you can’t hear anyone else. Everything went pretty smoothly getting instructions, strapped in, and most of the race (although my car randomly stopped at one point and it was around 30 seconds before someone could come over and get it started again).
The bad — the customer service was the big warning in other reviews, and wasn’t great. We were told it would be six races before us, but it ended up being a few more than that, but we also were told not to leave just in case things changed. All in all it was probably an hour and 45 minutes before we raced, and we were another one away from looking to get a refund when they finally called us. There’s no way to know where you are in line or how many races/​minutes you are away from racing, which is pretty frustrating, especially when it felt like other groups were slotted in ahead of us.
The problem is, there’s not much to do while you wait. They have couches and TVs, a pool table, and maybe two racing video games, and a cafeteria-​like snack stand. If you can only have 10 – 12 people actually racing at one time there’s gotta be more for people to entertain themselves.
Last, it’s expensive. $ 6 for an «annual pass», and $ 20 for one race. It’s less if you buy more races, but they can’t be shared, and if you don’t live in the area or aren’t going to go kart a bunch of times a year it’s hard to commit to a lot of races and it’s a lot of money to put down and then feel like you have to use.
Bottom line, I would consider going back, but only with a group reservation (you have to have at least 8 people) and I’d aim for early in the day before there could be much of a wait.

This place doesn’t even deserve a star. The people who run it have actually zero brain capacity and ruined my entire valentines day evening. I came here with my boyfriend and a few friends before we had dinner reservations and we wanted to do two races. We paid and they told us we had to wait 90 minutes for our first race. Then we find out, instead of putting our second race right after our first (which we already had to wait 90 minutes for), we find out the second race we would have to wait an additional 90 minutes. ridiculous and they didn’t even inform us of that right off the bat. We went to get a refund for our second race and continued to wait 90 plus minutes for our one race we paid for. Little did we know, the idiot deleted us from the system and after waiting two hours find out we were never in line cause he messed up while doing our refund transaction for the second race. instead of having good customer service and saying «oh I’m so sorry I will put you guys in for the next race possible» he said unfortunately we would have to wait another 90 minutes, so we never ended up getting to race for ten minutes that we waited two hours for patiently. This place is WACK and Full of pea brains.

This place could be cool if the management/​staff weren’t clueless. We had the WORST experience of our go karting (30 years) life today there. There was a person in a race with us that IGNORED the YELLOW, never slowed down, rammed us in the back 3 – 4 times. Finally, we were able to get the management to pay attention but they did NOT boot him from the race or the facility. We have an ankle that is in really bad shape due to this IDIOT and due to employees who PREACH safety but do absolutely NOTHING to follow through.
It was a HORRIBLE experience. The managers watched this person ram people several times and did NOTHING??? Your waivers are worthless if you are warned about these issues and you do nothing. They even allowed this person (who didn’t even appear tall enough to be in an adult car) back in to another FULL race. He is going to severely injure someone, but it won’t be us because this place does not gives a rat’s rear about this kind of behavior. IF this happened at Fast Times Karting, the person would NOT be allowed to return to the facility ever.
