We launched our go‑kart venture in 1996 within a small section of the Windsor Airport parking lot, operating there for four consecutive years until the city took over the airport. In 2005, we reopened on a permanent adjacent property—our current location—marking the beginning of a new chapter for the track.
We provide concession-style go-kart rentals for guests aged four and up (minimum height 40″), operating on two outdoor concrete tracks. The Main Track is a dynamic concrete road course—drivers must be at least 54″ tall—while the Junior Track is a smaller concrete oval for 40″–53″ drivers. In addition, our facility features a spacious picnic area with tables, plus free parking right next to the track.
Our Main Track stretches an impressive 1,800 linear feet—over one-third of a mile—and features an adaptable layout that can be reconfigured in numerous ways to keep the experience fresh and exciting!
We feature four distinct go‑kart types:
Main Track – Python (open-body, split-axle): Built for drivers 54″ +.
Main Track – Scorpion (open-body, split-axle): Built for drivers 54″ +.
Main Track – Viper (5 double-seat models): One adult driver with a child passenger (both must be 40″+).
Main Track – Double Kart: A two‑adult kart reserved for those with special needs—ideal for passengers who can’t drive but still want to experience the thrill of go-karts.
All Main Track karts are powered by 9 hp Honda engines.
Junior Track Karts: Single-seat karts for drivers 40″–53″ on our oval circuit.
All Main Track karts are equipped with 9hp Honda engines.
Since we’re an outdoor activity and completely weather-dependent, we don’t take reservations. Without being able to predict the elements, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis—ensuring fairness for all guests when Mother Nature calls the shots.
We currently do not require a waiver to drive, however, there is a registration upon arrival and all safety requirements must be met. Please review our Rules page.
It takes approximately 50 seconds to make a lap on the Main Track, depending on driving skills.
🏁 Kart Speeds at Our Track
Main Track – Single-seat karts reach up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
Main Track – Two-seat karts run slightly slower due to the added weight and size.
Junior Track karts offer a more spirited ride—comparable to battery-operated children's jeeps, which typically travel around 6–8 km/h (3.7–5 mph)
All our karts feature remotely operated shut-offs that instantly cut the engine’s fuel or spark—effectively acting as a kill switch, a standard safety device on many vehicles and equipment designed for rapid shutdown in emergencies
This system allows us to slow individual karts—or the entire track—if needed. It’s particularly useful when a driver requires assistance or isn’t handling their kart properly. In situations where participants ignore rules or drive recklessly, we can remotely slow them at every turn or whenever they approach another kart, ensuring safety for everyone.
We’ve maintained a spotless safety record—no rollovers in all our years of operation (20+ years). Our karts feature a very low center of gravity, minimizing the risk of flips, especially when combined with our rigorous safety protocols.
🛑 No Outside Karts Allowed
To uphold safety, compatibility, and regulatory standards, we do not permit external karts on our track. Here’s why:
Safety & Design Compatibility Per Ontario regulations, simultaneously operating karts must have compatible speed, bumpers, body parts, and wheels, and different classes are not permitted on the same track Incompatible karts may not fit, handle, or stop as expected.
Barrier & Track Integrity Track layouts are engineered specifically for our fleet—barriers, guard zones and track width all assume standard kart dimensions. Introducing outside karts could compromise barrier effectiveness and risk run-overs or karts breaching safety fencing.
Manufacturer & Regulatory Compliance Our karts meet rigorous design, center-of-gravity, and guarding standards required by safety regulations. Unsupported or unfamiliar kart types may not meet these specs, increasing risk to the kart and driver.
Yes, but all helmets must be D.O.T. approved.
🧼 Helmet Sanitation Protocol
Disinfectant Spray (Exterior & Interior) After each use, helmets are thoroughly sprayed on all outer surfaces and wiped clean. The interior also receives Lysol® spray, targeting bacteria and viruses with its active benzalkonium chloride and ethanol solution
UVC Sanitizing Cubicle (10-minute cycle) Helmets are then placed in our UVC sanitization cubicle for a full 10 minutes. UVC light (200–400 nm) is widely used in commercial helm-cleaning systems to destroy pathogens
🔬 Why This Combination Works
Spray + UVC = Two-layer protection Lysol acts as a chemical disinfectant, while UVC targets microbes via radiation—covering different types of pathogens for thorough decontamination .
👒 Hairnet Barrier for Helmet Hygiene
To add an extra layer of protection, we provide one-time-use hairnets to all patrons. This prevents hair from contacting the interior surfaces of our helmets—maintaining cleanliness and keeping liners fresh between.
By using hairnets, we uphold a higher standard of hygiene and enhance both rider comfort and helmet longevity—another way we care for your experience.
⚠️ Pregnancy & Back-Condition Advisory
We strongly advise against go-karting if you are pregnant or suffer from back issues. The activity involves:
Intense vibration and jolts due to the lack of suspension and track impacts — these can strain the spine and exacerbate back conditions .
Sudden accelerations, sharp turns, and potential collisions, which may pose risks to both expectant mothers and their unborn children—including placental abruption or miscarriage.
Overall physical strain and G‑forces, especially during tight corners and bumps—this can lead to discomfort, aggravate back pain, or elevate health risks
Whole-body vibration exposure, which in occupational settings has been linked to hypertension and pregnancy complications.
⚠️ Fracture Safety Advisory
We strongly advise against go‑karting for anyone with healing or recently healed fractures, including spinal, rib, or limb injuries. Here’s why:
Whole‑body vibration (WBV)—common in go‑karting—can unpredictably influence bone healing.
High‑impact forces from track bumps, jolts, or minor collisions can stress healing bones, risking re‑injury or slowing recovery. That’s why medical guidance typically advises avoiding high‑impact, vibration‑heavy activities during fracture healing.
⛽ Fuel Policy
We use regular gasoline in all our go-karts—no nitrous or performance enhancers added.
🎯 Kart Speed & Regulatory Compliance
Ontario regulations specify that rental karts must not exceed 45 km/h (28 mph) unless the driver holds a licence. Since our facility caters to families—not licensed drivers only—we ensure all karts run at the same governed speed on the track.
Absolutely NO. Ontario regulations strictly prohibit this as a dangerous practice. The 2 seaters are side by side with each wearing their own seatbelt.
At this time we do not offer leagues. We offer timing for registered members who will receive results via text or email, as well as best times and overall standing. Guests will not receive this perk but can view their time, temporarily, on screen after their race.
Driving a go-kart is very easy to do provided they are driven at a speed you are comfortable with. There is a gas pedal and a brake. The steering wheel column is between your legs. You must use 2 feet to drive but only press the brake pedal when you want to slow down suddenly or stop. Letting go of the gas pedal will slow your kart enough to gain control again.
🏁 In-Session Behavior & Ticket Policy
If the track session begins and a driver is handling their kart responsibly—slowing appropriately around turns to avoid spins—they are allowed to complete their ride as planned. However, if a driver is unable to manage their kart safely, they will immediately be removed from their remaining time.
Unsafe drivers receive tickets valid for another day for the remaining time.
If a ticket is purchased but not used at all, it is automatically authorized for a future visit
This ensures both track safety and fairness to all guests.
🛑 NO “RUBBING” OR CONTACT ALLOWED
Contrary to what some say—“rubbing is not racing, it’s cheating”—we do NOT permit intentional contact between karts on our track. Any contact, even small side taps, especially done to gain position, is considered a rule violation and grounds for expulsion.
🕒 Timing & Kart Assignment Process
Upon purchasing your entry ticket, the following steps ensure a smooth and fair experience:
Ticket Scanning: Your ticket is scanned into our system before entering the pit area.
Kart Assignment: You will be assigned a specific kart, which is also entered into our system.
Time Tracking: Our computer program monitors your session time from the moment you leave the pit area.
Session Completion: When your allotted time expires, our system notifies staff to guide you back into the pit area to complete your ride.
This system ensures accurate timing and a consistent experience for all patrons.
🛑 Driver Control & Safety Policy
Maintaining control of your go-kart is essential for the safety of all patrons. If a driver is unable to manage their kart safely—such as by spinning out, erratic driving, or failing to navigate turns appropriately—they will be:
Removed from the track immediately.
Offered an alternative experience:
Ride as a passenger in a two-seater kart.
Drive on the Junior Track, if eligible.
This policy ensures a safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. Please refer to our Rules page for detailed safety guidelines and expectations.
🛡️ Helmet Policy for Turban-Wearing Patrons
Our facility adheres to the safety standards set by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), which governs amusement rides in Ontario. As per TSSA regulations, all riders must wear a safety helmet while operating a go-kart. This policy is in place to ensure the safety of all participants.
We understand that wearing a helmet over a turban can be challenging. To accommodate this, we recommend that patrons wear a smaller turban that fits comfortably under the helmet. This adjustment allows you to participate in the go-kart experience while respecting your religious practices.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
We use the hairnets as a barrier between a patron and our helmets. We ask patrons to wear the hair net (cootie cap) to cover hair - and ears! We do not wish hair to be stuck in our helmets, nor anything else that may be hiding in other crevaces!
