K1 Speed in Torrance California, was recently visited by the original Brady Bunch actor Barry Williams, who played Greg Brady during the 1969-1974 seasons. Barry grew up in Santa Monica, California, down the street and around the corner from actor Peter Graves. As a grade schooler, Williams began pestering Graves for show biz advice, and at 11 the youngster had an agent and began appearing in TV commercials, the rest was history as he played in roles in the Mod-Squad, Adam 12 and The Invaders, long with a slew of others before being cast for the role as Greg Brady.

Barry took to our technical concrete layout and really enjoyed our fast paced electric karts. K1 Speed offers the best in indoor kart racing action in the Los Angeles area and the smile on Barry’s face proved so.

We look forward to seeing Barry back again soon!

K1 Speed in Torrance, California was visited by professional race car driver, actor, and model Danny Bopp who had the opportunity to take some time off from his busy schedule and take on our challenging concrete surfaced race course.

Danny, who has been a professional race car driver since the age of 11, started his racing career competing in WKA go-karts. His racing career over the years landed him in the winners circle over 75 times and for the 2010 season has given him the opportunity to compete in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series of events.

When he is not racing, he spends him time modeling and doing various television commercials that can be seen nation wide.

Danny brought his driving skills to our technical course, and laid down a very fast 27.539 second lap with our fast paced electric racing karts in his recent visit.

K1 Speed in Torrance California was visited by X Games Gold Medallist, and Number 1 Professional Women’s Motorcross Association rider Ashey Fiolek last week before her X Games competition. Accompanied by her family, she used her motocross skills to take on the challenging concrete racing surface with the same passion that she uses during her motocross racing.

Ashley, who is just 19 years old, developed her love for riding at a young age and there was no stopping her from there. Her racing career began young at the age of 7, and at 16 got the opportunity to meet action sports athlete Travis Pastrana and other professional riders at events she was riding in. She became the 2008 WMA Pro National champion after her first professional win at the WMA Pro National Hangtown. In 2009 she won her first X Games Gold Medal in Women’s Moto X Super X at X Games 15, and she just won her second consecutive X-Games Gold Medal in Super X Women’s on July 31, 2010 at X-Games 16.

Everyone at K1 would like to wish Ashley good luck for the rest of her racing season and we look forward to seeing her back our way again the next time she is in town.
