K1 Karnival: One Night of Unlimited Racing!
THIS PROMOTION ENDED THURSDAY, MAY 28
Step Right Up! Unlimited Racing – One Night Only!
If you’ve ever dreamed of enjoying unlimited racing at K1 Speed, then get ready – that dream’s becoming a reality. Introducing K1 Karnival, a special evening of unlimited racing on Thursday, May 28, from 5 pm to close.
How K1 Karnival Works
When the clock strikes 5 PM, we’re transforming our usual Arrive & Drive experience into a full-blown carnival attraction. Instead of scheduled races, the track becomes an unlimited-racing midway.
Grab your place in line, hit the track, then jump right back in line for another race around the circuit. There are no K1RS points to earn, no rankings to chase, and no pressure to perform. Just pure racing excitement and as much seat time as you can squeeze into one unforgettable evening.
The Cost
Your ticket to K1 Karnival is just $55 and is available to purchase either in-store or online (near the top of this page).
That’s about the cost of a standard 2-race package, meaning once you’ve completed your third race, you’re already coming out ahead.
Arcade, Food & Drinks!
In addition to our unlimited racing, you can round out your carnival experience by purchasing a game card for our arcade, enjoying funnel cake fries† at our Paddock Lounge (at regular pricing), and rehydrating with a cold, refreshing beverage!
Who Can Race?
We’re using adult karts only at most locations, so drivers must be at least 58 inches (4’10”) tall to race.
Junior Racing Available at Select Locations
For K1 Speed locations with two tracks, we’ll run both junior and adult karts. Junior karts require a minimum height of 48″ (4′).
These centers are:
- Addison
- Boise
- Boston
- Buffalo Grove
- Burbank
- Cinnaminson
- Fort Lauderdale
- Horsham
- Irvine
- Jacksonville
- Jessup

This May Not Happen Again
An unlimited racing event of this scale has only happened once before in our company’s 23+ year history. We can’t promise when—or if—the carnival will return.
So gather your crew, head to K1 Speed, and see just how many races you can fit into one incredible night.
*Offer only valid on 5/28/26, from 5:00 pm local time to close, at all locations except the following: K1 Circuit, Lee’s Summit, Myrtle Beach, Santa Clara, Thornton, and Traverse City. Only valid towards adult kart races unless the center has two tracks. A K1 Speed license (sold separately) is required to race.
† Arcade and funnel cake fries are available at most locations. Menu items can vary by location.

Tom
Agreed, Porter! See you there.
Andrew McCreary
can you earn k1rs points for the races?
Staff Writer
Hi, Andrew! No, K1RS points will not be awarded during this event, since you will not be racing under your name. You’ll be assigned a generic “Racer” name instead to keep the races running smoothly.

Hi, John! Sorry, we’re still working on the new Birmingham location, and while we’re trying to open ASAP, it will not be finished in time for this event.

POEQUE ESTA OFERTA NO APLICA A PUERTO RICO?

Hi, Ian! Sorry, this is only available in the continental United States.

Staff Writer
Hello, Austin! Yes, the generic racer name will still show race lap times, so the competition is still alive!

Is the price 55$ to race or do I need to buy anything before I can race along with the 55?

Hello Christian. Good question! The price does not include our annual license ($8.50), which is required to race. The license has some cool perks like a birthday race, discounts on apparel, and more. See you there.
Daniel khak
Will I also be provided with helmet and the things I need??
Staff Writer
Hi, Daniel! Yes, if this is your first visit, you’ll need to purchase a license ($8.50), which gets you a reusable headsock and access to our helmets. You’ll just need to wear closed-toe shoes. See you at the track!
DANIEL HUGHES
Coming into the Nashville Location with my 4 boys. How long between races, or is this simply a continuous drive? If we arrive at 7:00pm how many races can we expect to drive in?
Staff Writer
Hi, Daniel! We’re going to try to run races back-to-back. Hard to say how many races you can expect starting at 7:00 pm – effectively, our karts become a ride, so it’ll just depend on how many people turn out, and how long the line is. Can’t wait to see you all at the track!
Michael pines
If I’m 17 but have had a waiver signed before do I need one for this
Staff Writer
Hi, Michael! If it’s been over a year, we may need your waiver signed again.
Jonathan Adame
Writing from the day after the event! Absolutely loved it! My partner and I had an awesome time on both tracks here in Las Vegas. Hope it comes back again as I can’t afford to go as often as I’d like to.
Staff Writer
Thank you, Jonathan! Glad you two were able to take advantage of it!
Santiago
Please say it’s still ongoing!!!
Staff Writer
Sorry, Santiago! This was for one night only.
