The karts ran at fast speed and the rules were simple yet structured. If you're looking for excitement, high speed, and safety, I highly recommend K1 Speed Torrance. The price is approximately fifty dollars per ride which includes an estimate of 14 laps per person. Finally, the attraction is indoors and offers some snacks.

Best experience I've had at Go Karts. Everyone from the staff at the front desk to the track marshals and managers were welcoming, friendly and helpful.The karts are fast and fun - after your first race. I found out that for your first race, the karts are slightly handicapped so that you have a chance to familiarize yourself with the track and the kart. They should make that clear somewhere, because this could make for a bad first experience, if you are constantly being passed and flagged to let other cars pass, always thinking that you're doing something wrong. Other than this, it was am awesome experience, just don't get discouraged after your very first race. If they think you are holding up someone else, they will slow you down to let them pass. This is good when you have a mix of people, but doesn't allow for real wheel to wheel racing. If you're going with a group of people, you might want to let the marshals know that you don't want easy passes and that you'll work for them?? Worth a shot!And for everyone scoffing at the thought of electric Go Karts, give it a try - they have enough torque to give you overseer out of every corner, and glue you to your seat on acceleration. They are on par, if not better than some gas powered karts I've raced.

Awful place, with very strange rules. On Oct 27, 2013, in the last race for the day, we were 8 racers, everybody drove fast but fair (not bumping, not hitting each other). The employee requested that I let another driver pass me by and I saw the sign while I was in the fastest section of the track. So, there was no time to act upon his sign, it was impossible to let the other driver pass me by right away, especially while taking the turn where everybody drives with their highest speed than any other area of the racing track. I don't mind letting anybody pass me by, but not on the highest speed portion of the racing track or on the next 70 degrees sharp turn!!! As a result, he slowed down my car. That happened twice, which is not fair and totally uncalled for. I was very frustrated... well can you blame me?!?!?! To slow me down in order to let anybody else pass me by - what bogus rule is that?! It is called "speed racing" for a reason, not "don't speed up or we'll slow you down" racing. I've been recommending that place to so many people and this is what I got in return!!! No appreciation for their loyal customers. I think they should reimburse me for that.

my husband and 15 year old drove three races. The times and places are all computerized and you get a printout of your performance. This seems like a safe place and well run. The staff was very nice and one of the guys went out of our way to find something my son lost. Located in a commercial park. I'd go during the weekday if on vacation. It wasn't too crowded. Also, very clean facilities and the equipment was clean.

I took my twin 16 year old girls to the Torrence K1 Speed facility for some family fun. I had never been to any of the K1 Speed facilities but I had been to the M2B Cart facility in Sylmar once. The two facilities are very similar and in fact may be owned by the same parent company. We purchased three 14 lap races. During the first race there was a spin-out which I'm sure is common place where they have the ability to shut all of the cars down remotely via a handheld computer/transmitter. The odd thing I noticed was while everybody else was shut down one individuals cart was still able to move. He continued to move around the track while the rest of us were stopped. Later when the race ended I noticed that my daughter only got to run 10 laps of the 14 lap race. When I asked why, Nick, the manager told me it was because the leader must have lapped her 4 times which then brought the race to an end. I understood why this rule is in place however then I learned that the person that lapped her was the same guy who's cart was allowed to keep running while ours was shut down. Then after questioning Nick again I found out this guy is a friend and frequent racer there. It was very obvious that Nick was allowing certain friends to run their race at the expense of other paying customers. The attitude I got from Nick was, "Oh well, that's the way it is". He even got a bit snotty with me by saying, "haven't you ever watched NASCAR?" Here is my point, I understand there will always be people who are faster and will move around the track and pass others. I also understand that not everybody will get the full 14 laps they paid for because of the faster people. I have a problem when the managament knows these "faster" racers are out there and assists them by not shutting down their carts. I assume the staff of these facilities are experts and knows most of the regulars. I would think then they would arrange the carts to let the novice drivers out for at least one full lap before letting these other "pros" out of the bullpen. I would not recommend this facility to any corporate or family customers.

Had to register on the spot and waited for like 10mins before we get into our games.. Speed of the kart was really fast, gives a really good experience! Receives a coloured printout of your results at the end of the game, detailing your records as well as how you fared against your opponents~

会社の同僚と遊びに行きました。最初にいろいろ登録するため端末で情報入力が必要です。平日の夜に行きましたが、空いていたのでそれほど待ち時間なくレースに参加できました。ただし、グループの人数が少ないと他のグループと一緒になる事があります。
