This Go kart track is one of the best Indoor racing facilities in the country. I go to arrive and drive Go kart tracks all around the country and UMIGO stacks up with the best of them. As far as local tracks go this one is much more racer friendly than its immediate competitors at Le Mans Raceway and K1 Speed. The Ownership and Management are very customer friendly. The entire staff does a great job to make the experience fun and enjoyable for both the casual go kart driver and the experienced driver alike. One thing I absolutely love about Umigo from an experienced drivers point of view is how they handle accidents on track. Instead of slowing down the whole track and punishing everyone with a track wide yellow flag Umigo uses only local yellows to slow you down meaning you only have to slow down in the immediate vicinity of the accident you are passing. There is nothing quite more condescending and rude than punishing everyone on track for one persons mistakes (this is what happens at Le Mans in Fremont) however you will never have to worry about such unfair treatment when you Race Umigo. I honestly feel lucky as a Go Kart Racing Hobbyist to have such a spectacular home facility to race at week in and week out. The whole entire experience is great and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a fun adrenaline packed experience while still maintaining the highest level of safety!

For my friends birthday party we went to Umigo Indoor Kart Racing. With no experience at all or any knowledge of racing, the instructors told us everything we needed to know in a concise manner. Although I am young I picked up driving the kart very easily and this may have been due to the instructors. They also have a practice/lesson run through so you can pick up the sport before you race and get a feel for the mechanics of driving the kart. Although races arent that long, you may be bored while waiting for your next race. This was not a problem because of the wide variety of arcade games they have to keep the fun going until your next race. Signing up was a breeze, this allowed us to have our own racer name with our own profile picture. The racer name was used on the scoreboard inside the track so you can keep tabs on who is in front or behind you. An overall A+ experience and will definitely return to race again!

Come here on a weekday and the place it typically empty. Bring a couple of friends with you to race. I think they need to change track configuration a bit more often and change the way the rankings are posted on the screen. They rank drivers based on the fastest single lap. A driver could be slow but have one really good lap and then be listed as the fastest driver. They also say that the carts are all the same but you can tell the difference when you get a good one compared to a bad one. I wish the cars were all evenly matched. You also dont get to choose your cart. It is assigned to you by the staff.

Not cheap, but its worth it. Theyre not really good at explaining anything for us first timers.... we just had to wing it... which is a bit lame since it didnt instill me with a lot of confidence in the facilities. Luckily we had brought somebody thats done this before so my friend explained everything to me. Dont come here without atleast 1 friend to explain everything thats done this before.

Had a blast. Carts are a lot faster than the electric places Ive been to. Track was a solid mix of straights, sweepers, and hairpins. If youre big on driving its a great place to explore your limits. If you dont have a clue what youre doing its a great place to learn. Staff is on top of yellow flags and general track safety. Races went smoothly and without major issues.

First time going. Im not avid go cart rider but this was a trip for the guys. Never going before this seemed quite costly for a few minutes around the track. The guys had fun. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Would I come back? Maybe. Just seemed like a lot of money for a short experience.

I went to amigo racing for a friends birthday and they had a very nicely put together race track, and the go-carts were capable of great speeds. Their safety video was very educational, but still very entertaining and funny. If I were to go go-carting again I would go there.

I dont understand why this place has such good ratings... shittiest karts and track Ive ever raced at. tires on all three karts I had were so slick. I was all over the place. not to mention the rudest service. the track guy was a dick. 25 bucks a race. not worth it.

My husband and I had such a fun time. This is the perfect place to bring a small group of friends for a fun (and competitive) activity! It wasnt extremely overpriced and it was in a decent location. We will definitely be coming back.

Very Bad experience, Unrespectful staff, Racist behavior, bad mood when treating costumers, I will never come back again to this place. No waste your money, no waste your time, TOTALLY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

This is one of the last local indoor ventures with gas powered Karts. Electric karts and K1 arent even close to real Karting experience. These guys have a great setup for anyone, even an ex kart racer like me.

Ive been here twice, over with a bachelors party and once with work. Both times we were treated fantastically. Their setup was fun for both first timers and people who had a lot of experience racing.

Had a decent experience, I wish they had someone to make the newbies feel more comfy though. I came in last, I was trying to drive defensively, haha, annoyed the hell out of the other drivers. :))

Tons of fun, and their reservation system is fantastic! The only complaint I have is with kart consistency, theyre all just so different and it can get frustrating at times.

I miss racing here. The ever changing track layouts provide a unique challenge for the serious drivers, and the family friendly environment is welcoming!

Great place to go racing... Some of the carts need some Maintenance but most of them are fair to good...

Always a fun time here, cool that they change the track around every once in awhile too (keeps it fresh)
