[Review based off experience from 2017-Jan 19, 2020] I used to come to this K1 location an almost unhealthy amount of times to the point of employees knowing me by name, and I was able to seek out which karts were faster based off tire wear and other wear and tear. I can honestly say going here, your experience with drastically rely on which employees are working that day, and how skilled the party you’re driving with is. Race slowdowns: a lot of the time, beginner drivers crash. And not just once, they crash many times. When you’re trying to set a new lap record, this is unideal because they will set your maximum speed to 1mph or 0mph depending on how much they need to do to set that driver back up. Race slowdowns happen a lot, simply because if you’re a single or even a small party of 3-4 drivers, they will put your party in with other drivers. At one point I was able to request we be put in a faster group, since times are posted online publicly, and that allowed us all to set faster times without limit. I guess this may be “insider knowledge” but I also believe they also have a highlighted user that I recall being a green box, in which those drivers have set exceptional times (<19s a lap), which let the staff know the highly skilled from beginners. Which brings me to the next point: speed limits. This part is what really made me dislike coming here. Speed limits are up to the employees discretion based solely on how they feel the drivers are doing - driving safely, without needing caution. Many times, when new employees come - they aren’t as aware of how skilled drivers are and tend to leave the speed limits at speed 3, instead of full speed. This drastically changes the experience, because you won’t be able to get up to speed on the after the last corner towards the finish line/corner one straight. On my last visit (2 years ago) I explained to the *new* staff on sight, that my party of 6 was slowed down to level 2 the entire time because they put a beginner who slowed the group down the entire race to the point of our 20.5s average time skyrocketed to nearly 38s average per lap. The new manager essentially told me “nothing I can do about it, it’s not my fault you guys were slowed down” - which I knew wasn’t true, because whenever I came to the old manager and explained what had happened, he would comp us one extra race - after coming here approximately 200+ times, I stopped. New staff sucked, so it wasn’t worth my money anymore.

The location is good but the electric carts do not perform like gas ones, you pretty much never have to brake and it's flat except for one single turn. The track is pretty short, 20 seconds laps. The rest of the facility is great for company events, nice areas to sit, maybe the music a little too loud. The pool table - which is in a nice area post-event - is not in a good shape. It needs a little more work and faster karts to get full stars.

We drove an hour to come ride for my sister's birthday. We arrived at 7:30pm and they told us we would not be able to race until 11:30. I also overheard a guy working there tell a lady who had just walked in and was brand new, that he could squeeze them in at 9:30pm or 10pm. Anyway, we paid for everyone almost 600$ and we talked to the personnel and agreed to just come back the following day to race instead of waiting til 1130pm because of the little kids. We arrived the next day at 2pm after paying almost 600$ the night before and was told we would not be able to race until almost 9pm. I called prior to arriving and was told NOBODY "rented" the track for personal use but they did have 2 birthday parties. From my understanding race's are supposed to alternate racers throughout the time to insure that everyone races. They kept the same 2 parties on the track from 2pm until 8pm even without them "renting" the track for personal events. I'm not sure if they were paid under the table to do so or not but it was very very different from the last 8 or 9 times I've came to this location or any of the other 7 locations I've been to across the nation. It put a very bad taste in my mouth especially after driving an hour AGAIN and spending almost 600$. THEN They didn't even register the junior racers in any of the races which resulted in having to wait another additional hour for the kids to race. Places like this often hire immature young adults who have very poor customer service. I would seriously consider hiring new staff that are RESPECTFUL and mature. I wouldn't waste my money racing here in the future. South San Francisco will treat you much better for your money's worth!

Love this place. The boys had a great time. First race was just the 2 juniors but the second and third race there were 5 more kids. Staff did a good job of putting them in the order of pace so the slower kids weren’t being pushed around by faster drivers. A+. Thanks

Definitely had a great time. First time here with some friends while waiting before our race we were in the lobby playing giant Jenga. Good party areas and a bar scene( can't drink till after your race) which of coarse makes sense. They instruct you before heading in. They have 10,20,30 min. races up to you. Definitely recommend having your next party or for a weekend fun..

I loved the experience of driving karts at K1 Speed ​​- Dublin. Great leisure option, the place is safe, clean and organized. Everything works great. I will certainly come back many times. That day I was faster than my husband lol. I love adventure and speed. I really recommend it.

We hosted a birthday party for 12-13 year old boys during the busy holiday week between Christmas and the New Year. The staff did a good job juggling all the planned and unplanned guests in the lobby. Races were timely, the party room was clean, and conveniently located. This part of the experience was 4 stars. The check in experience at the location was 0 stars. Check in was a poor experience because even though every party guest had a signed waiver in hand upon arrival, we had to sign in again and get another waiver set up when we got to the lobby. We arrived 30 minutes ahead per the party instructions and good thing we did because it took every part of that 30 minute buffer to get 11 individuals re-checked in.

Had our sons 8th birthday party here it was great an the staff were very friendly an helpful. All the kids had a good time. Pizza an game cards in the package we got so all the kids had plenty of fun.

First time to this K-1 location which is right off the freeway. walk in was very easy going first by signing a quick waiver, then go over the different levels of payments/racing options. was on the track within an hour. Really fun experience.

Awesome atmosphere, very inviting, bathrooms and whole place were immaculate. We had some racing and food and wine. The staff was amazing. Mike was extremely helpful and met all of our needs please thank him for us. We are definitely coming back soon for more fun. Thank you for having such a great crew and experience. Five stars all around!!

The facility is a great, and the people working are excellent. The only thing I found puzzling is that the car speed can be controlled by someone using a remote. Which I wasn't too thrilled about. Other than that, it was a nice experience.

We had a blast and everyone was so nice! Even was placed in car 27 which made the day extra special. I did not request this car it was spontaneously assigned to me 😜🥹. We still have not received all our videos yet though but I’m sure we will.

Our group of ten had a really great time racing! The staff was nice and responsive. It's frustrating to only be able to book same day, as I had to be there when they opened in order to get a slot for the evening. It also would have been helpful to know in advance that the walk-in appointment can't be booked without the forms signed, as I was there for a couple hours, trying to coordinate my group, via phone, to complete their forms. The facility was well kept, and the bathrooms were clean. I appreciate all of the seating and would have loved for more pool tables, which would have extended our stay and maybe encouraged more concession purchases, but ppl were using the one table they had. I do recommend this place, and we will likely be back.

Bit pricy, but a fun place to race. For first timers it will be exciting. Support staff were good too.

So much fun. We came for a8 year old party (which the kids did great at) and then the parents had a race. These new electric cars are much better than the old gas ones that were smelly and loud. It’s also much safer since they have a global kill switch to shut all the cars down in the event of a massive collision I also liked that this place let us race with as little as 3 racers so we didn’t have to race with strangers. We had lots of fun and will definitely come back soon

Took my 8 year old son for the first time, but it won't be the last. He's hooked! Super nice facility and extremely helpful and friendly staff at the Dublin location, will probably be lifetime members.

The wait was relatively less ~20 minutes. In addition to track they also have mini arcade for kids. They seem to offer opportunities to host birthday parties and other private event. We enjoyed the race and food.

Super fun and we always love it! Would love to be able to have slightly less people per race and find a way to have the slow people get the F out of the way cuz the employees flashing the “move over” sign doesn’t seem to work. Just a heads up that if you buy 3 races make sure you are clear that they schedule you for 3 because even if we say something for some reason we always only get 2 scheduled. After 2nd race just go check in at the desk to be sure. Plenty of space to hang out and such a fun experience.

Great facility. Really quick and efficient staff. The cars were good. I wish the scheduling was clearer. We had to wait another 30 mins beyond our allocated time which was annoying. All in all a great experience. **Make sure to book for a party in advance if you are a big group as they will club other people with your party otherwise. Since you are competing for the fastest lap, this might affect your timing

Wife surprised me on our date night and brought me here. She told me the wait time might be long but she had planned the night in case worst case had to race at midnight (god bleed this woman!) she knew my love and passion for motor sports well. Even if we had to wait hanging out in that ambiance was amazing. Loved all the racing pictures and paintings, racing seats, and race car parts decorating the walls. The food was ok, and there were theee or four different bday parties but they weren’t obnoxious or annoying. We paid for two races each, which is kinda pricey but what isn’t now a days.we figured we might not get both in that night, but the. We were told wait time was 30 min and then 15 minutes after that for the second race. We couldn’t believe it. But sure enough after 30 minutes we were called. Fitted helmets and were explained the rules and procedures. The we raced! And when the first race was over we were instantly called into the next race group. The cars are fun and electric and can be controlled by the staff. Don’t worry if they keep you from catching the driver ahead of you, it’s not a track position race, it’s a race against the clock. Cars are different to drive to get the most speed out of them, I was trying to drive like a Normal car but was going super slow, wasn’t until the third lap a guy with racing gloves whizzed pasted me in a corner and I watched him the next few, and that’s when I saw he never touched his brakes. So I decided to try that and had to man Handel the kart through the corners but I got a lot of speed out of the kart and finished second 1.3 seconds behind race gloves guy. Overall it was a fun and surprising experience. We got there at 3:45pm on a Saturday and left at 5 after two races , hanging out, and watching some junior races. Only thing that kinda bothered me was the amount of range in experience per race. there’s guys that were walking in with their own race helmets, gloves, and shoes, might as well worn a fire suit to complete the look. In one race these guys were super fast and I was able to keep up but it made my wife look like she was putting around and she had no fun in that race. The second race there was a group of teenage girls or at least acted like it and where crashing and bumping everyone they could, the race was slowed and then it was stopped at which point they slowed their karts because on the restart they were slow and couldn’t get near any body. But I still took a hard hit from one. Overall it was a fun and enjoyable experience, we would love to do it again but due to the pricing and over an hour drive from the Central Valley we probably won’t return very often.

Went there the night before my sister's wedding with all the guys in the wedding party we had a blast looking forward to going again highly recommended

Experience was excellent here. The lobby area is full of tables made from wheels, an F1 or Indy car up front, food and beer. A lot of fun to have a team building setup. The go-karts are all electric too so you don’t have too much noise. I do find the price to time on the track a little lacking. From 12-15 laps, 3 sessions, about 20-22 seconds a lap, you’re out there maybe 10 minutes. It’s great, a lot of fun, and the price is understandable cause of go-karts tire costs and all that Some of their karts are beat up, I know one I got on pulled hard to the left, which was not fun, but otherwise it was fine. If the Karts were all up to 100% quality wise honestly I would have given it a 5 star. Just some of the Karts being beat up pushed it down a star. I get it though, these karts are used daily. 100% recommend going! They also have a juniors league for younger drivers, so almost anyone can enjoy.

Really fun experience is not just for little kids it's for adults as well a nice snack bar And they have a space for parties
