Go Kart Driving Experience
Fun and Excitement for the whole family! Concession Go Karting are open daily (weather pending – cannot run karts when track is wet).
This is not your average karting experience. At Grand Bend Family Go Karts you actually get to “race” on a real NASCAR Sanctioned Race Track.

Come by yourself, or with a group and we promise an experience you will never forget!
Pricing:
$30 per Session (20-25 min experience: training + 10 min “race” = about 20 laps for the Pro Karts and 12 laps for the Jr Kart or Double Rider Kart*).
*Price includes driver and passenger in the Double Rider Kart.

What to Expect
All participants will attend a “driver’s meeting” before getting into a kart.
We will teach you about the racing flags, safety protocol, what is expected of you on the track and how to “race”. For those who have never driven before we also practice gas, break and steering in the kart.
* We have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for rough driving – Staff and management reserve the right to observe customers action and remove anyone we feel may threaten the safety of themselves, others or our equipment – no refunds will be given.
Helmets are provided or you can bring your own.
Staff will ensure helmets and seat belt are on properly and secured. We teach new participants how to drive (ie, break, gas and steering) before the group follows our Pace Vehicle onto the track.
After a pace lap is completed our flagman will throw the Green Flag and the Race is on! 10 mins at full speed until the black and white checker crowns the WINNER!
Lastly a cool down lap and the racers will then follow the pace vehicle off the track.
We guarantee Miles of Smiles and memories to last a life time!
