A group of us drove down from the valley to race the high powered 50 mph karts (as advertised on the website). After arriving the facility looked nice, we asked one of the young ladies how fast we would be going and she kindly said "you can get up to 50mph." We went out for our first race and found out that people who have never raced are put onto a lower setting (about 25-30mph). After complaining about the speeds and rough ride of the karts one of the managers were kind enough to set us up with another race where we would be put on "max speed" the speed was faster, about 35-40 mph, still not 50. After talking to ANOTHER manager he explain to us that the karts are not programmed to go 50 mph and the tracks are not set up for those types of speeds. Which was fine but we were told TWICE that the speeds would be close to 50. The price was also steep for the experience. I can race on a 1/3rd mile track in the valley for 14 laps and get up to 45mph for the same price as going on a 1/8th mile track for 14 laps at about 30-35mph. The karts were advertised as being "latest technology" and they were not even adjustable like the ones in the valley. Very disappointed. Do not spend your time or money on this type of "racing" experience..

Me and a few friends of mine were there on Saturday for our 1st time for all of us. We had an amazing greeting by a person named Ivan. Above and beyond customer service that i was shocked by. My friends told him it was my bday, so he took us on a little tour showed us around and the tracks and the vehicles. We met a few of his Coworkers, and i swear i dont remember being treated like this ever. We felt like we were family. Great pricing- great staff- fun for Adults and kids. FYI- THE Bathrooms were super super clean even for late hours i was impressed. I already passed the message to friends and family about this place. We cant wait to go back!! Super clean and friendly place. Thanks for the experience Ivan. You made a long term customer.!!

Not on par with the better gas cart tracks, but the easily the best in the Tucson area and very good for an electric cart track. The staff was exceptional which is rare for this type of facility. Overall reasonable value and definitely fast enough that skill makes all the difference. Have to disagree with the passing reviews. This is not racing for a championship, money, or even a trophy, so there is no reason to spoil a faster drivers run by blocking him. Keep in mind that a faster driver could put you in the wall at will and only chooses not to.

Those carts are deceptively fast. I had a good time and Im pretty big, but still fit in the carts. I did get a little motion sick on the Monaco track, and got hit a few times pretty hard when the person in front of me hit their brakes making me hit mine making the people riding my tailpipe slam into me.The helmets helped that though. The scoreboard screens are too far away too see and the printout sheets have times and points, and the points make no sense.

Very clean, very cool environment. ..were already planning who were goin to bring / invite next. We thought it was a little pricey at first but to see how well kept /quality everything is and how personable the staff were, it was well worth the experience! I saw people cone in not prepared and you guys had socks n crocks ready...and you use your own face sock this makes a clean freak that lIves in flip flops very happy! Keep it up well be back!

Stopped in during a road trip with my girlfriend. If youre familiar with K1 speed, this is a very similar experience. The karts are electric but that shouldnt deter you because they accelerate well. They offer two tracks, one lower speed with more turns, the other higher speed with fewer turns, both are challenging. The staff was very friendly and offered lots of tips on how to lower my lap times.

This place is a blast. We went as a large group, 8 racers to a heat. The addition of so many people probably made for worse times, but ramped up the excitement with collisions and passes happening constantly. I think that you are better off coming here as a group, as there would be no guarantee that other unaffiliated people would also be there at the same time and want to race with you.

Fun experience! The cars are electric, I was disappointed until I got behind the wheel, they are fast. Its about $20 for a 15 lap race, cheaper if you buy multiple races. Races can be used at a later date. I feel it was worth the cost, they also track and provide stats on all your races to show a long term graph of your progress (lap time, avg lap, etc.)

The experience I had a autobahn was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. As well as surprisingly knowledgeable about karting. Going on opening weekend I was expecting long wait times as well as some kinks, however, wait times were short even though they were busy and the staff had their Is dotted and ts crossed. Great place. Will be returning.

Awesome!!! Wish the tracks were a bit bigger but definitely fun. Not sure what itll look like once they Grand Open, might be too many people vs their cars and track size. Overall it was lots of fun, good experience. Reminds me of Malibu Grand Prix when we had that place back in the day.

I had so much fun racing here, I went with 3 friends and it was very exciting almost made you think you were actually in a race! I still have one race left and I want to sneak out to Tuscon again eventually and go on the track. Will definitely try to return here multiple times.

Really nice facility. The people at the front desk will ask you questions to apply any discounts so you get the best possible deal. Very clean, stylish and fun! The people working seem to know what theyre doing and like their job. It is expensive but any racing experience is.

Great time, little expensive but worth it. College students get a big discount on Tuesday with an ID. Best to go when its not busy so there is less of a wait between races and the race isnt as congested. Must be 13 or older to go in the faster track.

We had a great time at our visit. The only issue I saw was the monitors had a windows error in the middle of all the monitors blocking the information and all it needed was an acknowledgement to make it go away. Other than that we had a blast

This place is pretty cool. Go karts go really fast and the race tracks are fun to drive. The go karts they use are electric so there is no smoke or loud noises that you would encounter at outdoor tracks. Check this place out!

Its over priced for the very little fun you get. Track is small, in my opinion they should combine both tracks together. Employees speed through the rules, forget to tell you how to use lockers and dont help with seat belts.
