    We went for my son’s birthday with our family and we loved K-1 speed. He got one free race within a week of his birthday. We went mid week so there wasn’t a long wait. Facilities are very clean and staff were super helpful. They have a great eating area with a few additional games. Easy parking with dedicated lot. We hope to visit again soon!

    It was ok but there were no consequences for people who were aggressively driving. I would have liked it better if I wasn’t worried about being hit.

    We had a great time. Staff was attentive and helpful. I want to especially shout out a gal in the Santa Clara location who helped out my party when they didn't have any availability for my walk-in group. She called up to the SF location to make a reservation for my party of six 11-year-old boys, which really saved the day for my son's birthday get-together.Definitely make a reservation if you're bringing a group!

    The track is not very long but it’s challenging enough to be fun. The karts are fast and I had some issues with oversteering and losing grip in the corners so you need to brake into corners and find the best line which makes it fun and different each lap with 11 other karts on the track.

    Mostly a great experience with the "lap times" instead of position being a great idea. 1. Post more than just the next race, so you can see when you are up. 2. People who bumped should have consequences. We raced the same races with someone who would just not brake and pit every car.
