Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!

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.

Safety & Liability Policy Warp Drive Race Park – Windsor, Ontario • Warp Drive Race Park has maintained a spotless safety record over 20+ years, with no rollovers and no serious injury claims. • Our go-karts feature a very low center of gravity, which, combined with rigorous safety protocols, minimizes the risk of flips. • All rules are in place to ensure the safety of all visitors. • Failure to follow the rules may result in loss of control and increase the risk of collisions with barriers or other karts. • Minor injuries, such as bruising from seatbelts, can occur if rules are not followed. Your safety is our priority—please follow all track rules and staff instructions at all times

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.

Helmet & Hairnet Policy Warp Drive Race Park – Windsor, Ontario To ensure safety, hygiene, and comfort while racing: • Patrons may bring their own helmets, but all helmets must be D.O.T. approved. • Helmets must be worn at all times while on the track. • Long hair must be tied up above the shoulders to prevent it from coming loose during your ride. • Patrons must wear a hairnet (cootie cap) under the helmet, if using the facility's helmet. • The hairnet should cover all hair and ears. • Hairnets act as a barrier between the patron and the helmet, helping prevent hair from getting caught or tangled and keeping helmets clean. Thank you for helping us maintain safe and comfortable helmets for everyone!

Helmet Sanitation Protocol 1. 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 2. 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.

Two-Seater Go-Kart Policy Warp Drive Race Park – Windsor, Ontario • Absolutely no exceptions: passengers may not share a seatbelt. • Ontario regulations strictly prohibit this dangerous practice. • All two-seater karts are designed with side-by-side seats, and each rider must wear their own seatbelt at all times. • Safety is our top priority—following this rule helps protect all riders

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 may be allowed to complete their ride as planned. However, if a driver is unable to manage their kart safely, or if the rain is excessive, they will immediately be removed from their remaining time. • Drivers receive tickets valid for another day for the remaining time. • If a ticket is purchased but not used at all, it must be authorized for any 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: 1. Ticket Scanning: Your ticket is scanned into our system before entering the pit area. 2. Kart Assignment: You will be assigned a specific kart, which is also entered into our system. 3. Time Tracking: Our computer program monitors your session time from the moment you leave the pit area. 4. 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.
