Making Lasting Memories

Instructions and information for newcomers.

🚦 Driving Guidelines & Remote Control

  • If you’re driving unsafely, we reserve the right to remotely reduce your speed.

  • New to our karts? Gently press the gas on your first lap to get comfortable before increasing speed.

🏁 Track Etiquette

  • Staying slower? Keep to one side to allow faster drivers to pass safely. 

  • Karts may fishtail in corners—ease off the gas to maintain control.

  • Brake early, not mid-turn, to avoid spins or contact. 

  • No contact allowed: no bumping, pushing, spinning out, or cutting off others—non-contact is strictly enforced. 

  • Be predictable: signal your intentions by maintaining lanes and avoiding weaving. 

👀 Awareness & Control

  • Keep both hands on the wheel and feet inside the kart—one-handed driving and leaning out are prohibited.

  • Always keep your eyes on the track ahead—especially in and around turns. 

  • Drive at a comfortable pace—respect your own limits and those around you.

  • Do not press the gas and brake pedals at the same time, only 1 pedal at a time.

🛡️ Safety & Equipment

  • Fasten your seatbelt snugly (shoulders included). If it shifts, pull into pits and notify staff. 

  • Helmets must remain on until you’ve exited the pit area. 

  • Wear some form of footware—sandals and flip-flops permitted—and avoid loose clothing that could snag (scarves loose shirts). 

  • Hair longer than shoulder length must be tied up so as not to come loose during your ride.

🛎️ Stalls & Pit Area Protocol

  • If you stall or get stuck, stay seated with belt fastened, raise your hand, and wait—staff will assist.

  • At session end, follow staff instruction and enter the pit slowly using your brake—not the gas!
    Full brake compression is required; pumping the pedal does not stop the kart. 

  • Remain seated with your belt on until all karts are in and staff gives the go‑ahead. Then exit quickly—do not linger.

  • Keep your helmet on until you’ve fully left the pit area.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Karts & Motion Sickness

  • Zero tolerance for contact with 2‑seater family karts—any incident (even accidental) may end your ride.

  • To prevent motion sickness—especially in children—avoid large meals before riding.

🔐 Personal Items & Ticket Policy

  • Store purses, hats, phones, and loose items in your car trunk or our lockers (lockers come with a wristkey).

  • Unused tickets must be validated before leaving—unauthorized tickets won’t be accepted upon return.

📢 Respect, Compliance, & Consequences

  • Our goal is fun for everyone. Disregarding rules disrupts the experience for others—please drive responsibly.

  • Staff are trained to support you—heed their advice at all times.

  • Misconduct or inability to control your kart means removal from the track, no exceptions, and no refunds.

⚠️ Important Restrictions

  • We do not accommodate toddlers or children under 40″ in height.

  • Karting is thrilling—but safe operation is our highest priority, and rules are strictly enforced.

 

These guidelines reflect widely accepted industry standards, including zero-tolerance non-contact policies, proper cornering and braking, safety gear requirements, and pit protocols

 

We do not accommodate toddlers and children under 40 inches.
