Gokart Racer

Get the Groupon as it is a little expensive. That said it was an amazing experience. Really made the birthday golden.
My wife and I are going back with friends again soon. They’ve earned our repeat business.

Had a BLAST today! I have never driven racing go karts; only the slow ones as a child. A friend visiting from Japan and I decided to give it a shot and went to GoKart Racing. Right from the entrance, Alex greeted us and started providing us information on how to be a member, prices, and setup our accounts. Since it was our first time, we had to watch a five minute safety video and get tested on the meanings of the flags for the track. Once completed we went straight onto the track, put on our helmets, and were greeted by the track marshals who were fantastic. They ensure you are comfortable and safe and answer any questions you may have. Once seated and ready, they start the engines and off you go!
We did the Triple Shot package and got to drive on both tracks (Monaco x2 and Indy) and each definitely test your driving skill. We had to take breaks in-​between each run as we did not expect a ten minute run would take so much energy (you really get a good arm workout on all the turns).
All-​in-​all, we only planned on taking an hour and stayed for two. I highly recommend this place for fun and amusement if you are a first timer. The staff are great and you will leave with a smile (and sore arms lol). Looking forward to coming back in the near future!

We always see this along the freeway and never got a chance to try it until now. It is an indoor go kart racing !!! There is two different tracks. The lobby had games and pool tables too. Since we were celebrating a birthday we got a $ 25 credit towards our purchase. The staff there is very friendly to help us get started. There is a $ 10 registration for first timers and then you can choose the different options. We picked the hot laps for $ 25 per person and that was 16 laps. There was a short video we had to watch to show us what the flags meant and rules on the track. There was helmets for us to put on before we got into the kart – makes it COOLER!!! It is a gas running engine and it has speed when you step on the gas. This was so much FUN! We can’t wait to go back!

This is a cool spot! I just discovered it the other day after leaving work with some coworkers who wanted to go try this place out. Having grown up driving go karts I was excited to see how these karts were compared to the ones I used to drive. My buddies and I decided to do two hot lap sessions. We had a blast, the first session was great, but my friends wanted to switch karts (believing they got beat because of their kart) the employees allowed us to switch but the same result occured:). My coworkers and I will definitely be back to race again.

Had my son’s 8^th birthday here a few weeks agao amd it was so much fun! For kids and the adults. The staff were very friendly but they were also very busy checking people in at the front counter so some things took a bit longer than expected like the food from the snack bar. Everything else was really smoothly ran amd planned out for the party. The 8 kids we had there raced first amd the parents got to have a race of their own afterwards. I’m amazed by how fast those cars actually go! Like super fast! I felt like I was gonna fly out at somepoint but it was very thrilling and fun! It made me feel like a kid again. The place is very large so it doesn’t feel cramped when a lot of people are there and I like that they have arcade games amd a pool and airhockey table to occupy your time while you wait to race. We will be back again! Thanks everyone for your very friendly service!

This place is run by children and ZERO management.
We waited for TWO hours AFTER we already purchased out time at 1:30PM. We were in at 3:30…it was fun, DRIVING the go-​kart.
WOULD NOT recommend, WILL NOT go back.

I’ve been to to the track in Burlingame and the Sacramento track is much nicer (it IS newer) the staff was more helpful as far as getting me strapped in and making sure the Karts had sufficient gas running through the engine before I took off (to make sure mo air pockets stall me out).
You also need to have your driver’s license with you and are required to watch a video before you ride to ensure you know what each of the flags mean and how to pass or let people pass you safely.
Monaco track– this track is a fairly standard track with 2 straightaways and roughly 3 hairpin turns. This is the more beginner track
Indy track– never rode on anything like it only one straightaway and the rest are hairpin turns that switch you from the outside to the inside. this track is for the more experienced
Overall the lanes are wider, the lobby is 2x as big it is cleaner and the equipment seems more maintained than the Burlingame location.

Excellent customer service, great track for all ages and all about safety. We had stopped going to indoor racing because of a few bad experiences at K1. Kurt at Gokart Racing changed our outlook real quick. My daughter had her 15^th birthday party here & they all had a great time (its hard to please both teenage girls & boys). They have 2 pool tables, an air hockey table & a handful of video games too. But let’s get to the racing: they knew how to interact with teens and command attention in a humors way, so they were able to actually pay attention to safety guidelines. Once on the track, the guys out there are serious about saftey but know how to let the kids have fun, they know there will be skid outs, taps & bumps that are not on purpose, so they make sure to deal with it, without affecting other drivers (not complely slowing them down). They let them know what they can or need to do in order not to have it happen again (but quickly & kindly so they actually listen & learn) all the kids came out totally satisfied & happy, even joking around with the staff on the track afterward. And last but not least the party attendant came around about every 15 minutes to check on us. Oh & one more plus, you can purchase a GoPro for your helmet at a reasonable cost. Our party of 8 teens started at 11:00 & we ended up staying having fun until 3:00! Great job everyone at GoKart Racing!

Had my son’s birthday party there. Unorganized, ignored, and left to do everything for myself. Wouldn’t go back for parties. The staff though were nice and facilities were adequate.

The last time I came here it was for a supertrack on Monday in Late July /​Early August. We specifically asked for a group, we had around 7 people. However the staff at the tracks opened the side door to let either their coworkers or friends in to ride for free.
First of all, they should have asked us if we wanted to share the track, we were fine with possibly waiting for another 15 minutes. It was extremely rude and unprofessional.
I’ll still leave them with 2 stars for now because the last 3 times I was here everything seemed dandy. However, I have not been back there since and might not plan to.

As many others before me have stated, I will go ahead and gladly share, this place is awesome! I came with 6 of my coworkers this past Sunday and GoKart Racer was able to accommodate us for a Grand Prix right before a much larger party showed up in the afternoon. While we didn’t have to pay to race (Our company was gifted a decent sized gift card for donating the paint used at GoKart Racer) I found the prices very reasonable, and can’t wait to come back with my friends!
The first time I went go kart racing was in 2008, back when K1 was known as RPM. RPM had petrol powered karts and some pretty cool tracks, but ever since they became K1 and adopted electric karts I noticed the entire experience changed.
So I was pretty hesitant to try GoKart Racer, thinking that electric karts were going to be the standard. When we got there, I was excited to know their karts were the real deal. I was also glad to know they had the option to wear racing suits! I was one out of two people in my party that actually wore a suit and coincidentally I got 1^st place, so clearly there’s an added benefit to wearing one ;)
Overall, GoKart Racer is probably the best place for indoor karting in the area, and I’m looking forward to going back soon!

Got there just to be told that Sunday evening the track was only open to 18 and over with driver’s lic. only. It was no where on their website! Disappointed kids.

This place is awesome! Compared to K1 where the karts are all-​electric, I definitely enjoyed the real, petrol-​powered engines of Gokart Racer. They have two tracks set up (three if you count SuperTrack), so it is possible to get the entire track to yourselves if you come with a group of friends.
The only knock I would give to Gokart Racer is that their food items are practically nothing. Their menu items are like what you’d find in a high school cafeteria, but even more expensive. I would definitely recommend eating first, and then coming here to have fun.

Celebrating my sons 16^th Bday with Go Kart Racer. Booking the party was easy and Chrissy answered all of my questions prior to the party in a timely manner. The boys had such a great time. Prompt service, clean facility, friendly staff and huge smiles on teenage boys faces = Priceless.

I brought a small group for my boyfriend’s 31^st birthday, and we had a blast! It was so much more thrilling than I had anticipated. Plus, the staff were amazing and helpful, especially because this was our first time ever riding «real» go karts and we had a lot of questions. The front desk girl was very nice (and was a Wreck-​It Ralph fan!)
First you’ll sign up and buy a membership (discount races and a free race on your birthday). Then you head to locker rooms where they have suits in many, many sizes. I recommend wearing light clothing because the suits run small. Also, there are free lockers that do not require keys or coins, which makes it very convenient. Leave the cell phones in the locker, and just enjoy the experience!
Then you head into a room where you are given the safety rules. After that, you put on a head sock (yours to keep), pick a helmet, and get strapped into a gas-​powered kart. At first I felt a little claustrophobic with the helmet and all the safety belts, but once you get going it’s no big deal. As another Unilocaler posted, it does give your arms and core a workout!
We started out with a Hot Laps session, which runs for about 10 minutes. I think it’s the perfect length of time to ride for a session. It doesn’t matter who starts on the track – it’s anyone’s race as they go by fastest lap. Every lap you drive by this huge leaderboard, which made us all more competitive as the rankings were constantly changing!
At the end you get your printed results to see the driver rankings. We kept them for bragging rights, of course!
This would be a GREAT place for an adult birthday party, bachelor party, date night, or group outing. We’re making it a birthday tradition!

About 9 of us raced here for Hubby’s 34^th bday. The racing itself was pretty wild & fun. I am by no means a fast n furious driver. In fact, I am more like Driving Miss Daisy. If you have some anger issues & stress issues & frustrations to let go of, I would say this is a pretty good place to get momentary relief. Think of it as an adrenaline junkie’s 20 minute high. By the time I was done doing the super track, which is an extended track that occurs after 5pm, I was so full of adrenaline, rush & I thought nothing more of the worries on my mind. It was a great sensation. Especially while trying my hardest to drive as fast as I can. The feeling of being «safe» no matter how fast I drove was very liberating.
The place itself is very humble. Walking in you can see all the way through the windows to the track. You can see the pool/​dining/​game area. There isn’t much pizzaz or wow factor to the place or maybe I just say that because I have been to K1 first (off Bradshaw) & that place is very detailed in that it’s very nice inside. This place even down to the racer outfits are very simple & look very worn to me.
The gist of the stars go to the customer service. I called a few times before we came. It was last minute, & they accomodated our group readliy & easily. K1 on the other hand was a 2 hour wait! This place had no wait at all.
Upon arrival the staff was ready to help & nice upon our entry. They assisted & explained our groupon too.
My biggest gripe was the cost. Even with the groupon, which was worth $ 50 each, we still had to pay about $ 7 more for membership that included a mask. So, my Hubby & I both used a $ 50 groupon (paid $ 40 each) & still paid about $ 7 more on my credit card. So thats, about 20 minutes of racing each for about $ 87?! Pretty expensive to me. But as a once-in-awhile.I would do it. It would be nice on a date too. Especially a first time date even.
At the end we got copies of our racing scores & times. That was nice. Thanks for pointing out i’m the slowest of the bunch, haha!
Would I go again? Yah. But at the cost, I would only go for a better cost or just go once in a while or during special occasions.
And if you are a little heavy set, the race car, all the gear you wear, plus all the go cart movement may be a lil uncomfortable for you. I am only 109 pounds, about 5’1 & I needed help buckling my belt cuz I couldn’t see it from the helmet’s bulkiness & it was super tight & squishy!
Have fun and try it at least 1x! But check groupon… their sale seems ongoing.

Located in warehouse park towards back. Place shows up on group on quite a bit. Far better priced, better newer equipment.
Staff is friendly informative and gets people moving. Lots of room for large parties and groups. Wait times are almost near non existent.
Several race styles. Race track is well kept for being new. Leader board is nice and large to see through the race.
Good: nice friendly staff, newer equipment, long user friendly play.
Bad: sits in the back of a business park so hope this place gets enough business to stay in business
I’ll be back.

Came for my 32^nd birthday last night with a group of friends. I called ahead the same day to give them a heads up and the woman on the phone was really helpful and nice. We used a coupon from the website for first-​time drivers. We got signed up, suited up, and went to the track! They definitely don’t play around with safety. You might think that sucks since you can’t just go all-​out buck wild, but honestly, I’m comforted that they are taking priority in making sure I won’t get hurt. You still go very, very fast!
Nice staff, the price is reasonable, and the facility and equipment are top-​notch. We are still amped with adrenaline and will be back for another race for sure.

Great place for racing with friends. These go karts are gas powered, it gets hot and is a workout for your arms. Make sure to wear shorts you will have to put on a racing suit over your clothes. Once strapped in the karts, you will the heat of the engine. You will start sweating if you push the kart to the limits.
Comparing K1 Speeds go karts to these go karts are night and day. The best way to put it is K1 karts are Hondas and these are Ferrari’s. Don’t get me wrong. I will continue to go to K1 as it is closer, but I would make the drive to West Sacramento to mix it up a bit.
You will get a print out of your times at the front counter.
Enjoy.

Finally a track close to home where I can feed my need for speed. Great group of guys working here and the staff is very friendly.
An added bonus is that they don’t limit your speed like the others (not going to name drop).
Gas powered demons here so be prepared to feel high speeds and tight turns. The track feels a lot wider too! Woohoo!
