It’s wild to think that you can go shopping in the mall and then, without even leaving, take a thrilling ride in the 43,000 square foot facility on a racing kart which can reach the speed of 50 MPH!
You never have to reschedule due to inclement weather, the weather at K1 Speed, formerly Autobahn Indoor Speedway, is always perfect. There are no reservations necessary.
We walked in and Mickey helped us sign up and get started. First we needed to watch a short safety video. Once that was completed we headed over to the starting point where we donned our head sock. We were then fitted with a heavy duty helmet and assigned to our car which is outfitted with professional four point safety harness.
I don’t think I went all that fast, after all I am a woman 🙂 I did see some men before me enjoying every bit of speed they were able to use. It definitely was an experience even for me.
There are special karts designed for junior drivers eight years and older, and at least 48” tall which can race up to 25 MPH. Children can race against each other or the clock. The junior karts have additional safety features to ensure their safety.
K1 Speed in the Palisades Mall has lots of seating and can host events. Axe Throwing is another activity available at this location.
Want a free ride at K1? (Pay only $7.95 for the yearly license if you do not have one) show up within a week before or a week after your birthday with proof of your date of birth and you will receive your free race.
