I have been to this place a few times before their time tracker/system problem and a few times after. Every time has been great! The Race was great and customer service has been spot on. It does seem like they are genuinely apologetic for the system issue and its really out of the workers control. Seems like they are doing their best to work with the hand that they have been dealt until someone higher up figures out how to fix the issue. Also, Please add more games to help kill time when there is a wait!! read more

This place is a joke they are mean and the carts go so slow don't ever go there they suck

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE GOING IN A BIG GROUP!!! I reserved a slot for a group of 19 people, and on the day of the event two people had to cancel. WE STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THOSE TWO PEOPLE WHO CANCELLED.... THAT'S $130 EXTRA.... luckily I had 17 people who agreed to split it, which was $7 extra per person. If you plan to go with a big group make sure that everyone is 100% going, or reserve a slot for less people than expected. Other than that the race was super fun, and the rest of the event ran smoothly. The location was clean, not overly packed, and they included an awards ceremony at the end. read more

Me and a couple people came here and was told that we get 12 laps which is fine but they added on two dudes (who had already just raced before us) who were very experienced so when they finished their 12 laps the race ended meanwhile me and my friends only got about 6 laps. We all paid 30+ dollars to not get a full experience. They also kept stopping our carts and putting the 'Let pass' for the two dudes. This was a waste of money. read more

Good fun good staff fast cars. Had friends bachelor event and was awesome. Recommend for sure.

We got to K1 Speed. It took about 20 minutes to get help. Finally we do. Then they tell us to wait because there was a problem on track . They said they would let us know quickly what would be done. Another20-30 min no updates no apologies no service. We left. Longish drive for no k Carting. My nieces good sports maybe I will try another location. Highly disappointed because this type of racing not available in their hometown. read more

A great track and some great staff. Lots of fun for kids over 4' tall and a good one for adults too

I went to this place with my cousin and family and definitely not worth it! Not only is the track incredibly flat and boring. The staff was also pretty mean and when we paid for our karts and everything they didn't tell us the karts needed to charge so we watched one 7 year old use the junior karts for 15 minutes confused as why we weren't going, we then had to wait 20 more minutes. They put up this act like how competitive it is with a leaderboard per race and everything, when in reality it's not that at all. The group I did they pulled us out all at once and one by one turned on the engines ONE BY ONE. By the time I actually got going, everyone else had already done half the track. Half the staff doesn't even seem like they know what they are doing. Also if there's someone more experienced than you, they put them up to the highest speed setting forcing you to lose so what's the point of the competition? Who fucking knows? In conclusion: DO NOT COME HERE NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY read more

Called in and asked what the height requirement was for children and when the location closed. Specifically asked about the height requirement for children (aka juniors). The response I received was open til midnight and children's height requirement was 4 feet. Keep in mind this is at 8:40 pm. Show up at 9:30 wait 20 minutes in the lobby to then be made aware "junior" races end at 9:00 pm. I turned around and told the two kiddos that we were leaving. To say the least, it definitely leaves a fowl taste in the mouth. Probably would have been a good idea to make me aware of the junior time restraints then and there when I originally called in. Won't be back. read more

Jacob was super helpful, and the wait times were minimal. Great overall experience, and will definitely come back.

K-1 speed was a disappointment. Under staffed, unprofessional, and disrespectful to their customers. On their web page they advertise hot food and beer but when we got there, the kitchen was closed. When I asked one of the staff members "there's no hot food?" he stated "right" but 30 minutes ago I saw someone being served chicken strips and fries and 30 minutes later I saw pizza. When we came to the staff to express our concerns about someone who was driving too rough, the staff just disregarded us, stating the other driver was fine but also noticed this driver brought his own equipment like he was driving at Formula 1 read more

This is a fun place! Very good track layout, and karts that have the ability to go fast enough to scare most people. If you prove your safe, they will let your kart fly! Great atmosphere. Good music, lighting, and plenty of places to get comfortable! I can't imagine it could be much better! In fact, I like the place so much - I hold my employee Christmas party there every year. We never fail to have a BLAST! Now they have DRIFT NIGHT! Absolutely a must do - PUT IT ON YOUR LIST. The manager, Badri, is one of the best managers I have ever seen - anywhere. She is always doing whatever it takes to make sure everyone has the best time possible. Be sure to meet her, you'll be glad you did! K1 Speed on Campbell in Richardson - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Visited this place expecting a fun night of go-karting for a reasonable price with my fiancé and brother. Once we got there, we noticed the prices were higher than average. $20 a person for 1 race + this mandatory $8 membership fee. So, $28 per person for one race? $90 dollars gone for one race for 3? That's a bit absurd. We watched a race and the karts move pretty slow. There was one car that was significantly faster than the others and when my fiancé asked the employees why it was faster, they told him that the driver is there everyday so they speed his car up. Basically, they give him an unfair advantage against the other drivers which is no fun. What's the point of racing if you know you're going to lose? At that point, we decided to just save our money and leave. Also - none of the lights were on in the parking lot, so it was super dark and felt unsafe. I don't think we'll return unless the prices drop or we find a deal. read more

First time racing at this place go karts faster than speed zone, customer service was great especially jacob!

I went in to have a fun date with my fiancé. Upon entering they told us they wouldn't have anyone available to operate the track until 5. I don't see the point of having a place like this if you're only going to have races available for half the time you're open. I'm disappointed because I've always wanted to come here but haven't had the time. This definitely makes me not want to come back. read more

I won my freaking race and they placed me at 6th place. Unbelievable if you ask me. Now they did admit their mistake but they should not be making such critical mistakes. What if I had $500 on that race. Highly disappointed. Staff was cool other than that though. read more

I booked a birthday party here for a Saturday night and the staff was really awesome. A lot of people were first time racers and the staff did an excellent job of making sure that everyone knew what they were doing and felt safe. Once all of the guest had arrived, the races started promptly and we never experienced a long wait time in between races. Recommendations: Two races seem expensive but it's a lot of fun and it'll leave you TIRED and sore. So if you're picking btwn 2 or 3, I think 2 is just fine. If you're booking for a large group, only reserve for the amount of people needed to reserve the number of tracks you need (12 races per track). So say your party has 20 people, you'll need 2 separate tracks- book for 13 people to reserve two tracks. The reason: once you confirm your final number, they will charge you for the amount you confirmed. So if only 17 of your guests showed up, you're still responsible for paying for the 3 that didn't. And you can always ADD guests the day of, you just can't have less than the amount of people you reserved for. That happened to me but we were at least able to get some credit for them. read more

We couldn't get in last night. Tried again this morning because they don't let you make reservations online, and they said it would be a thirty minute wait PLUS thirty minutes between every single race. I had to sign waivers and create accounts on disgusting computers. When I was doing it for my son, it waited til the end to tell me he was an existing customer so i had to start over. when i got to the desk to buy the tickets, prices were 25 for one, 46 for 2 and 64 ish dollars for a membership and two rides. rides are only 10 minutes but i was going to get two rides for each of us. The person at the desk then said i would have to buy the membership for both since it was our first time, even though my son had been there just a month before and already had an existing account. I tried explaining it to him but he wouldn't accommodate me at all. I asked if I could just get one ride for each of us, but apparently i would still have to buy a membership. Not to mention the entire location is extremely dirty and poorly kept. Would never recommend. read more

This was fun but prob won't go back unless in a big group event with friends. Definitely big emphasis on safety here -- they can remotely slow down your go cart during the race to prvent accidents. My nephew had fun racing with th kids bc he was barely tall enough for the adult carts. read more

K1 racing is the best - fast, fun and relatively quiet. The staff (especially Joseph) are kind and very professional.

I am so glad I recommended this for my husbands birthday!!! We had such a great time and both Curtis & Joseph were awesome!!!

Tierney (hope that's right, terrible w/ names) is the reason for the 5 stars. Brought 4 teens and she was awesome. Helped book our races, took our food order, cooked the food, and brought it to us. The best! read more

Came for my son's 7th birthday. I checked height requirement in line and measured him. He was 48in in the money. We got here, they fitted and said he was too short despite meeting the 48" minimum. Had to leave with a super sad 7 yr old in his birthday read more

Tires are over inflated, impossible to get grip on the corners. After you check in you wait almost an hour to actually race. Race stewards don't really like battles between races. They're always ready with that blue flag to end your race. The waiting area is nice, massage chairs, vending machines and games to keep you occupied. +1 for having drinks to sell and not needing to go somewhere else to rehydrate read more

So it's a school holiday.... but can your kid race here.... only once, because THEY BOOKED A BIRTHDAY PARTY..... seems like a bad business choice. It also is NO FUN when your cart is slower than the others.... should offer a discount if that's the situation. read more

Oh boyyyyy. They must be hellaaa underpaid because the lady at the front desk was absolutely miserable. Didn't even greet with a smile. Super unwelcoming. Ending up going to andretti instead read more

This place is great... helped me realize true calling. Great staff, Charles and Shae were great! Next time I'm in Texas, I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Told us the wait would be 30 minutes max. 90 minutes later, they told is it would be another 20-30 minutes. After that passed, we were told it would be another hour. Horrible manager, Jesse, was the one who initially told us 30 minutes! He was dismissive and rude. I would avoid going here unless you plan to wait hours for an 8 minute race. read more

Very fun, went during winter break and my family got to race the entire time because no one else was there!!

Only beef I got against them is that is is expensive at 20 bucks a race. Nice place, friendly staff, air conditioned indoor track, you just pay dearly for it. read more

Nice indoor karting experience. You do have to be careful since after some runs, a few of the karts felt like the brakes were giving out. After telling some of the employees about issues, they would still send out the same kart in the next race within the same grand prix. I know kart inconsistencies can be a hit or miss, and overall my group had alot of fun. I have been here about 3 times and I don't believe they have changed the track yet. One thing worth mentioning, unless they tune the Karts down you have to brake and drive your line to get a better time. Not your typical floor it and turn and everyone ends up with around the same lap time, this place is srs bsns. read more

Too expensive for this long wait that you have to go through and the food is absolutely terrible lord have mercy, employees act so none professional Its ridiculous. The go karts are nice but all the trouble definitely not worth it. read more

Great place for fun...hubby and our teenage son loved race tracks and the pool table. However snacks n food over priced. We went twice in one week they loved it so much but found Speed Zone to be the best dea w multiple tracks for fun. Still a blast....lots of fun. Great staff. Visiting from Cali read more

Cool place if you're with a party of 6 or more and have purchased multiple races. If you want to go have a quick race this is not the place. Individual drivers will wait until every party has completed all races (3 or more) before you are called. 2 hour wait to drive for 3 people. read more

Horrible experience!! The place wasn't even that busy and my family was there for literally 90 minutes just to take three turns (one for myself, my husband and son). I can't imagine a less efficient way to run an indoor track. And there was NOTHING to keep us entertained while we waited for our turns! If it was dirt cheap, I might consider it an okay entertainment option, but it was so exorbitantly overpriced! And if that weren't bad enough, now I hear they've run off a great farmers market that occupied a small part of the parking lot one afternoon a week?!?! SHAMEFUL. NEVER going back! read more

First time visiting this location. When greeted the young lady was very welcoming, which was awesome. However the guys who explained the rules/gear didn't seem like they wanted to be there. I've done race cars in the past & I don't remember having to wear the racer mask. Unfortunately, the style of hair I chose for this day made it very difficult to get this gear on. Obviously I don't blame that on them but wish I would have known. And the prices were really steep. You're forced to buy an $8 membership. In total, for two people & two races each it was $94. I will not be back because of the pricing alone. The racing portion of it was fine though. read more

Love going to K1!!! Friendly staff & an awesome time here! This place has the best high speed kart racing, and they print out a summary of your lap times at the end of every race! Becoming a member also will save you money on package races, it's so worth it!! Thanks Bart, Hunter, & staff for the amazing service! read more

Great race place! We showed up and got to racing right away! The folks at the deal were helpful and nice to the kids.

Lousy service. Short ride for the money. Not impressed. These folks are not real nice. The place was nearly empty and still seemed to take a long time before we wete able to race. Then the time itself is extremely short for what you pay for. read more

So much fun. Mia is the best employee ever! Take everyone you know here! The facility was clean, the go karts were fast and my kids were occupied for a good chunk of the day! read more
