Cal Speed Karting Center

Love this place! Friendly Staff, great karts, and worth every penny.
CalSpeed offers karting programs for all levels of experience. You must try their monthly Super Series program! The best arrive and drive series you’ll ever be a part of!

Lots of different ages and levels going on Sunday when we went, but all of the staff were REALLY on it. We had a small group event when we went and they really accommodated us in every way. As beginners, they let us know where to be, what to do, and walked us through the process.
We did the 3 session/​race day and it was perfect. A good step up from the indoor Kart track, and a lot more fun. The track is big enough for drivers of alll levels.
Great staff.

This is one of 3 outdoor karting facilities that is in Southern California, making it a popular spot for all out competitors that race every weekend to the people trans to outdoor karting from indoor karting — probably has one of the better track surfaces of the 3 as well which is part of its popularity
The facility offers rentals in 3 different flavors the 270CC «Sport Kart» which is much like what you find at an indoor facility, the 390CC «Pro» 4-​stroke which gives a bit more tire and engine to play with, then the all out 125cc 2 stroke «TAG» style kart.
Sport karts are good for transitioning to an outdoor kart racing where the pro 4 stroke give a bit more go for the money — if you have driven and indoor kart most people can handle the pro karts.
The 125CC karts are a bit of an older Sodi Chassis that help with transitioning to all out 2 stroke race kart to give drivers a sense of the feel of a race prepped kart BUT eventually if you go this route you will want to invest into your own chassis and engine package that would be looked after a bit more often.
The facility offeres a number of race events for both their fleet of sport and pro karts to give the speed junkies a chance to compete on a different level from what the indoor facilities offer — be sure to check the websites calendar for when the track is open for open test days and race days

I went on Jan 11, 2014 for their «demo» day where they had discounted prices and allowed single session kart rentals (normally you have to sign up for 3 sessions). My friend and I drove their arrive-​and-​drive sport kart, a 270cc 4-​stroke kart with a max speed 50mph, and their TaG Kart, a 125cc 2-​stroke kart with a max speed of 80mph. We had a great time and spent the day their driving 4 sessions on the sport karts, and an additional 3 sessions on the TaG karts and definitely would recommend to anyone interested in karting. We will definitely go back.
You can see some video of us driving the TaG karts here:
