Master the Track: Unlock Speed
Are you ready to transform your racing enthusiasm into real skill? If you’re driven to shave seconds off your lap time and truly master the track, our K1-on-1 kart racing lessons are designed for you. This premium, one-hour private class offers personalized coaching from a trained K1 Speed Race Instructor, giving you the dedicated attention needed to unlock your true potential on the track.
Who Should Book a Private Karting Lesson?
Our K1-on-1 lessons are the perfect opportunity for any driver looking to improve. This experience is ideal if you are:
- A Competitive Racer: Gain a significant edge over your friends and rivals by learning professional techniques.
- An Ambitious Driver: If you’ve ever been slowed down for aggressive driving, this class will teach you how to control that speed and use it effectively and safely.
- A Developing Racer: If you’re proud of your current lap times but hungry to shave off another full second, our instructors can help you find it.
What You’ll Learn From Your Expert Racing Coach
Your private lesson is a deep dive into the art and science of go-kart racing. The curriculum is focused on tangible skills that directly translate to lower lap times. Key areas of focus include:
- Advanced Racing Techniques: Master proper driving posture, steering methods, and pedal work (braking, accelerating, and feathering).
- Mastering the Racing Line: Learn how to identify and execute the ideal racing line, which is the absolute fastest way around the track.
- Apex Strategy: Understand how and when to use different types of apexes—including early, late, regular, and double apexes—to maximize cornering speed.
- Kart Control: Gain a full understanding of oversteer and understeer and learn how to correct for both to maintain total control of your kart.
Your One-Hour Path to a New Personal Best
Your K1-on-1 session is structured for maximum impact and learning retention over one hour. Here’s what you can expect:
- First Evaluation Race: Your instructor will observe your baseline technique and current approach to the track’s apexes.
- Personalized Track Walk: You will walk the track with your coach to review your performance. Your instructor will place cones on the ideal racing line, explaining the strategy behind each apex.
- Second and Third Evaluation Races: You’ll head back on the track for two more races to apply the new techniques while your instructor documents your progress. You’ll receive a final assessment on your improvement and opportunities for future growth.

Looking for racing lessons for my 8 year old. He would like to get into racing. He’s comfortable driving and riding dirtbikes. Do y’all have anything for his age? Thank you.

Hi, Alyssa! Yes, absolutely – we do have junior karts that should accommodate him. They can fit kids from 48″(4′) tall to 63″ (5’3″). So he could do a 1-on-1 lesson in those karts. Just visit your local K1 Speed and let our cashier know you’re interested in booking a session!

Hi Christopher, typically K1-on-1 lessons are held at 11 am, before the track is open to the public. Call the West Nyack center at 1-845-535-1515, to see if they have availability on Dec 14th. Our junior height requirement is 48 inches, so all good there. See you at the track!
