The K1 Speed Annual License

K1 Speed Race License

If you’re looking for information about our K1 Speed Annual License, you’ve come to the right place!

 

Can I Race at K1 Speed Without an Annual License?

 

An Annual License is required to race at K1 Speed. While most go kart places charge for an annual license that gets you next to nothing, K1 Speed’s Annual License gives you perks you’ll actually want to use. The only other option is to book a group event which will not require the license for any racing during the event, but will require a license if they wish to race outside of the event.

 

Here’s What the K1 Speed Annual License Includes:

 

  • One FREE BIRTHDAY RACE* during the week of your birthday! (ID required) – up to a $31.99 Value!
  • FREE use of our helmets
  • One FREE reusable headsock (additional headsocks available for purchase)
  • 10% off apparel & accessories (excludes K1 RaceGear and sale items)
  • Access to your racing score online
  • Storing of your racing history in our database
  • Emails with special offers

 

How Much Does the K1 Speed Annual License Cost?

 

The cost of a K1 Speed Annual License is only $8.50 and you get all of the above! As you can see, you’ll get one free race within the week of your birthday – that’s over $24 in value alone! Not to mention the great discounts you’ll enjoy on apparel and accessories. You can get that cost back in savings during just one visit!

 

The Annual License is good for one full year from the date of purchase. If your license has expired, you’ll be able to renew it when you purchase your next race.

 

Not sure if your license has expired? Simply call your local K1 Speed and ask! Our cashiers will be happy to look up that information for you.

 

So pick up your K1 Speed Annual License and save big during your next visit!

**Free Birthday Race may be used within 1 week of your birth date. 1 per customer per calendar year.  ID required. Requires a current license and a race package purchase within the previous 365 days. If this is your first-ever visit to a K1 Speed, you can redeem the free birthday race after purchasing our license and a race package. 

 

When a customer with an active license buys a package that includes a new license, the new expiration date will be set to one year from the new purchase date, replacing the old expiration date. For example, if someone purchases a license on 1/1/26 and then purchases a package with a license on 4/5/26, their expiration moves from 1/1/27 to 4/5/27. It would NOT add another year to make the expiration 1/1/28.

    Hi on the back of the membership card it says access to your racing score live online

  • Evan Murphy

    How do I purchase a annual membership

    • Staff writer

      An annual membership is available at your local K1 Speed for purchase. If your first time, please register first, then see the cashier to purchase membership and races.

  • Melissa DeLeon

    Will the annual membership charge my card automatically when the year ends?

    • Staff Writer

      No. You will need to renew after your annual membership has expired. When visiting your local K1 Speed center, please ask the cashier about your expiration date. See you on the track!

  • Vanessa Torres

    Do purchased races expired after certain months if they are not used?

    • Staff Writer

      Your purchased races never expire and are good at any U.S. K1 Speed center.

  • Denise

    How do you check to see if your membership is current?

    • Staff Writer

      Please call or visit your local K1 Speed center. A team member will be able to assist you with your request.

  • Deion Manley

    What if I have a membership and I want to get more races

    • Staff Writer

      Deion, it’s just a matter of either stepping into a K1 Speed location and purchasing races there or choosing your location here on our site, selecting “Get Pricing,” and then adding whatever package you’d like! Hope this answers your question – see you at the track!

  • William McDaniel

    How can I see how many races I have left cause I haven’t used my races that I have left I want to make sure I have some left to use

    • Staff Writer

      Hello William! Just call up your nearest K1 Speed and ask! They’ll be able to pull up your account and see how many races you have left.

  • Andrew

    If I were to loose my membership card dose it cost a fee to get a new one.

    • K1 Speed Staff Writer

      There is no replacement fee. Just go to the cashier and have them look up your account and they can issue you a new card. If your annual membership has expired, there is a $6 fee to renew.

  • Don Ford

    hi, i’m planning on taking my daughter to the k1 speed location here in portland this coming saturday the 11th of may. this is her birthday. if we do the membership signup on that day will she be able to receive the birthday race on that day or will she have to wait until next year??? just wondering.

    • Staff Writer

      Yes! If you purchase a membership on her birthday, she’ll still be able to redeem her free birthday race that day. If there hasn’t been a purchased race package on her account within the past 365 days, you’ll just need to purchase one during her visit in order to redeem the birthday race.

  • Jarius Myers

    I have a question do you get unlimited races when you pay for the membership or you just get the benefits and pay for the races?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Jarius! Thanks for asking – the membership provides the benefits but does not include any races (aside from the free race during the week of your birthday). Hope that clears things up for you. See you at the track!

  • James

    Can your k1 membership be used as a group entry?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello James! Each membership is only good for the member it has been assigned to. One membership cannot be used for an entire group to race – each group member will need their own individual membership. Hope this clears up any confusion!

  • Jay limas

    What if I lost my card

    • Staff Writer

      Hey Jay! No worries – we can look you up in the system without your card. Hope this helps and we see you at the track soon!

  • Aman Sharma

    I want to get a membership on my birthday because I am going with my friends on that day. Would I be able to get my free race that day or would I have to come back another time?

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Aman! Yes, you can use the free birthday race that day, but if you do not have a race package purchase in the past 365 days on your account, you’ll just need to purchase one during your visit in order to redeem the free race.

  • Stefani Hatfield

    I’m going with a group this Friday, never been before, but it’s my birthday month. Will I be able to receive my free race the day of?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Stefani! Typically, this deal is for existing members. They receive an email letting them know they have a free race during the week of their birthday. This is shown to claim the free race. We can make the exception for first-time racers, but we just ask that you purchase a race first (think of it as a BOGO offer). So yes, if you purchase a membership and race you’ll receive a second race for free. Hope this clears that up and that we see you this Friday!

  • Hunter Silva

    Do I have to pay for membership even if I bring my own DOT helmet and will most likely never come back as its 5 hrs away from my house , I dont need the discounts and dont really feel $10 is worth for my stats on 3 races one time ? This is the only go kart place i have seen that makes you pay to then pay to race

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Hunter! Thanks for your interest in K1 Speed! Yes, like a lot of other karting places, the annual membership is mandatory to race at any of our locations. Keep in mind the membership provides you with a free race during the week of your birthday, which is an over $20 deal in itself. Hope we’ll see you soon!

  • Jay

    Hello, if I wanted to take someone to K1 to race, would I have to purchase two individual arrive and drives? Also, would I need a membership to pay to engage in other activities outside of the races?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Jay! Yes, you are correct: you would need to purchase two Arrive & Drive race packages if you have two people who want to drive. While you need an annual membership to race, you do not need a membership to enjoy the other amenities at our locations, such as our in-store dining and arcade options. Hope we’ll see you soon!

  • Jose de la Cruz

    Hello,
    How can we renew online and purchase races?

    • Staff Writer

      Hey Jose! Simply visit the page of the location you want to visit and click “Pricing” or the “Buy Races Now” banner. If you just want to buy races, simply select a 1, 2, or 3-race package. You’ll have the option to add the membership (in your case, a renewal) during the checkout process. Once purchased, visit your location, show the cashier your emailed order confirmation, and they’ll redeem your purchase. Hope we’ll see you soon!

  • Le’Aja

    would you guys prefer the annual membership or pay for the cost of the rides per hours

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Le’Aja!

      The Annual Membership is required to race at K1 Speed. Once you have the membership, you’ll then pay for your experience, which is sold per race, not hour. Hope this answers your question. See you at the track!

  • George Thomson

    If I want to be dropped off at a location can I add races onto my card through your website?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello George! You can purchase races online before heading out. Then you just have to show our cashier the emailed order confirmation so they can add those races to your account. However, if you don’t already have a membership, you’ll need to purchase one online during checkout or at the track (unless you buy a Speedpass, which includes one). Hope this helps!

  • Janine Ortizano

    If I were to purchase an annual membership, would I be able to bring guests? Or do all of them have to have a membership?

    • Staff Writer

      Hey, Janine! Everyone that wants to race needs to have their own membership. Thanks for your interest, and hope we’ll see you all at our track soon!

  • Paisley Blume

    Can I just buy a membership on the K1 speed website? I live 3 hours away, so coming in is a little difficult.

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Paisley! Yes, you can get an annual membership when purchasing a race on our website. Additionally, you can order one of our Speedpasses online. In addition to the membership, our Speedpass includes 2 races and a t-shirt at a steep discount over retail cost. Just select your nearest location from the “Buy Races” drop-down menu here: https://www.k1speed.com/arrive-and-drive.html . Hope this helps!

  • Jaila

    My birthday is coming up soon and I had a question about the free race. Is the free race just for me or will my friends be able to join the race as well.

    • K1 Speed Staff Writer

      Hey Jaila!
      Your freinds can definitely join you in the race – you would not be the only person out on the track. But to celebrate your birthday, your race is the only one that is free. Hope to see you soon!

  • Alex Baez

    If I bought a membership for my little cousin and he didn’t like it can I transfer the race he had left over my account or to his older brother?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Alex! Please get in touch with the management at your local K1 Speed for assistance with this. Thanks!

  • Tokyo

    How much do I have to pay for 2 races if I have the membership?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello! Prices can vary by location. Please find your nearest location by visiting this page: Locations Once you see the location you want to visit, just click on the “Pricing” button to the right! See you at the track!

  • Bronwen Gleeson

    If I purchase a gift card for my grandson can the amount of that card be split between two people?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Bronwen! Yes, our gift cards are just like cash at our center. So it can be used as a payment for anything by anyone. Thanks for your interest in K1 Speed! You’re an awesome grandparent – we’re sure your grandson’s going to love it!

  • Eti Velez

    Does my k1 speed membership work at every location

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Eti! Yes, your K1 Speed Membership will work at every U.S. location.

  • Maya

    If I don’t have a membership, do I have to buy a speed pass online in order to race? Or can I buy 3 races online and purchase the membership for $7 when I get to the K1 location?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Maya! You’re correct – you can buy the 3-race package online and purchase the $7 membership – either online or in-store. You don’t have to purchase the Speedpass to get the membership. We look forward to seeing you!

  • Dolores Guzman

    I paid for 2 memberships. 1 for myself 1 for my husband. How do I put his in his name?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello Dolores! Your local K1 Speed can help get that set up for you. See you at the track!

  • Chris

    So can you not use your free birthday race another week after?

    • Staff Writer

      Hey, Chris! The free birthday race is intended to be used on your birthday itself, but we do give you a little wiggle room – just needs to be used the week of your birthday. Thanks!

  • Ann

    Hi There,

    I misplaced my membership card. Is there a way to get a replacement one or do I have to pay the membership fee again?

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Ann! It’s okay, we’ll still have your account on file. Our cashier will just ask you for your name and date of birth so we can look it up on our computer. Hope to see you soon!

  • Dafne

    How do I apply for the membership online?

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Dafne! When you purchase a race package online, you will have the option to add a membership to your order.

  • Shijun (John) Wu

    Can I cancel my membership subscription?

    • Staff Writer

      Hey John! Our memberships aren’t subscriptions, just a one-time fee that gives you access for the year.

  • Cherie Chapski

    Hello –

    I would like to buy some races ahead of time online. Is there a way to pay the membership fee on line at the same time? Thanks!

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Cherie! Yes, you will have the option to add a membership when you purchase races online.

  • John Green

    If I have a membership and I have not purchased a race yet and I want a free birthday race can I purchase one race and use the birthday race on the same day?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, John! Yes, you’ll just need to purchase at least one race before you can redeem the free birthday race that day. See you at the track!

  • john jacob jingleheimer schmidt

    What if my id doesn’t show my birthday? Can I bring a birth certificate?

    • Staff Writer

      Yes, a birth certificate plus a photo ID will work if your ID doesn’t have a birth date on it.

  • Miguel A Villanueva

    I bought a membership in Orlando and I live in Puerto Rico. I ask for the membership, can I use it in Puerto Rico?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Miguel! Great question. Yes, just bring your physical membership card with you to Puerto Rico when you visit. That way it proves you do have a membership with us and they’ll give you a membership that will work there. Thanks!

  • Chelly

    Hello. I want to buy 2 of the gift packages that have the merchandise, 2 free arrive and drives and plus the license which has the birthday race. If I buy it for my partner and I, will he be able to race 3 free arrive and drives for his birthday week on the same day?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Chelly! Yes, he would be able to enjoy the two arrive & drive races that come included in our Gift Tin, and enjoy a third race for free since it’s during the week of his birthday. See you at the track!

  • Hannah Champagne

    Hi! I want to bring my boyfriend here two days after his birthday and neither of us has raced here before. If I buy the “speedpass package” right now, does that give him the free birthday race for when we walk in for his birthday? OR do we have to go in day-of and sign up? I want to make sure I have all the information correct!

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Hannah! Yes, that would give him the free birthday race, since you will have purchased a membership and a race package as part of the Speedpass. You can either order it online or at the store – up to you! Thanks for taking your boyfriend to our track – we look forward to seeing you both!

  • Kristin H

    Does the membership work at all locations?

    • Staff Writer

      Yes, the US K1 Speed License works at all US locations. See you at the track!

  • Wenlin Huang

    How can I buy the annual membership? Is there any website?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Wenlin! You can purchase the license online with any race purchase. You will be given the option to add this to your order during checkout.

  • Harlan Lendo

    How can I access my previous K1 Speed results online at home?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Harlan! While this currently is not available at home, this is under development for a rollout in the near future! Our staff at centers can pull up your history for you, however. Thank you for your patience and sorry for any inconvenience.

  • Terese Bircher

    So you must purchase this in order to do one race? This is very confusing. If I do not purchase this I am unable to race?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Terese. We’re sorry for any confusion. You are correct, though. You do need the license to race, even if you’re only doing one race. If you do not purchase the license, you will not be able to race. Hope to see you at the track soon!

  • MarKwan Benton

    I’m looking for my license from The K1 Speed Annual License

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, MarKawan! Please visit your local K1 Speed to inquire about your annual license. Thank you!

  • Manny Rodriguez

    Have you guys considered offering a membership where you could pay say 2-3K for a set period (1 calendar year) and get unlimited races? (practically speaking maybe capping this at 5 races per day max). I go often (as I see many others do too) and some kind of higher tier subscription based membership would do well in your organization.

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Manny! Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll keep it in mind!

  • Rita Parra

    I lost my k1 speed card. Can I get a replacement? Is there any fee? Thank you.

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Rita! Don’t worry about a replacement – our cashiers can look up your account when you check in. See you at the track!

  • Kenneth anuszewski

    How can I check if I put the right email address on my sign up sheet for my license?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Kenneth! Please send an email to [email protected] or feel free to ask one of our cashiers at K1 Speed to pull up your information. Thank you!

  • Ann

    “If this is your first-ever visit to a K1 Speed, you can redeem the free birthday race after purchasing our license and a race package“
    If my son birthday is 7/21 and we buy the annual license on 8/8, can he redeem his birthday race on 8/8? It will be his first ever visit to K1.

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Ann! Sorry, but the free birthday race promotion is only valid during the week of their birthday, so this would’ve been valid between 7/20 and 7/26. Hope we still get to see you folks, though!

  • Ricky Alva

    If you get a licence are you allowed to do a walk in race

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Ricky! Yes, once you purchase our annual license, you’re good to go for our Arrive & Drive racing. See you at the track!

  • David J. Simons

    I purchased three (3 race and an annual membership) packages and did not get ANY additional

    years added to my current membership? It said it was part of the Monday deal.

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, David! We apologize for any confusion regarding our Monday promotion. Please refer to the fine print at the bottom of our Monday promo page: Monday Promo. Your membership resets to a year after your latest membership purchase. So if you were to have purchased this deal last Monday, September 22nd, you’d have a valid membership for a year starting from that date.

  • Paula Murphy

    If I purchase a gift card can it be used to purchase the annual license as well as driving time?

    • Tom

      Hi Paula, gift cards can be used for in-store purchases, including the annual license. It is important to note that gift cards cannot be used towards Group Events or the purchase of additional gift cards.

  • Marcin

    Hello, I’m a little confused about the license bit.

    When trying to book online (I’m not a registered user yet), I see an option to get 2 races, a t-shirt and a license for £69, and another option to get 3 races for £65.

    Do I need to purchase the first option as a new user, or can I go for the second option? And I understand we will all need to add a little extra on-site to purchase our licenses on top of that?

    • Tom

      Hi Marcin, you can purchase either race package as a new user. As you stated, you will be required to have an annual license, but yes, both options are available for you. See you at the track!

  • Aaron

    Can you do the birthday race at a K1 Circuit?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Aaron! Sorry, the K1 Speed birthday race can only be used at K1 Speed, not K1 Circuit.

  • Amy Hu

    Hi! My son will go next Monday for the first time and get the 50$ deal. His birthday is this Friday. Will he still get free race for birthday? He is 9 year old. what kind of ID is needed?

    • Staff Writer

      Hello, Amy! Happy birthday to your son! Yes, since you’re purchasing races for your son and you’ll be within a week of his birthday, he’ll be eligible to receive his free birthday race. An ID is not needed for him. Thanks for choosing K1 Speed – we’ll see you at the track!

  • Virgil G

    Where do I purchase licenses, and will I need to purchase individual licenses for each person that races?

    • Staff Writer

      Hi, Virgil! You can purchase licenses either online or at the center. The license will come up as an add-on option during online checkout. And yes, each person will need their own license. See you at the track!
