      Looking for the Best Karting in the Tar Heel State?

      Karting has come a long way since your parents’ childhood. If your idea of a go-kart is a cobbled-together steel chassis with an old lawn mower engine attached to it, you’re in for a surprise. At K1 Speed, we pride ourselves on building world-class entertainment venues – not simply go-kart tracks. It is this commitment to excellence that has allowed K1 Speed to become the largest karting company in the United States, with locations nationwide. We have a ton to offer, including:

      Our Karts

      What separates K1 Speed from so many other karting locations is our go-karts. All-electric, professionally designed in Europe (the worldwide epicenter of karting), and incredibly easy to drive, our karts offer a unique, pleasurable, and memorable driving experience. Unlike traditional gas-powered karts, which are noisy and tend to bog in slower corners, our karts accelerate effortlessly out of even tight hairpins with almost no sound. You may hear a slight whir from the electric motor, but other than that, what will strike you is the lack of sound! Of course, our karts also emit no exhaust fumes of any kind, which makes for an inviting atmosphere inside our locations.

      Our Tracks

      At K1 Speed Concord, our indoor go-kart racing experience will redefine what you come to expect from karting. And much of this comes down to the location itself, specifically our professionally designed race track. Our indoor tracks are smoothly graded, have high-grip surfaces that allow for maximum cornering speed, and utilize high-tech safety barriers for our competitors’ safety and assurance. Furthermore, like all of our indoor go-kart tracks, the track at our Concord location features a challenging combination of turns and straight sections, which will give you (and your kart) a full workout! Of course, when you’re not racing, you can relax in our leather couches, check out our authentic racing memorabilia, or get a bite to eat at our Pit Cafe.

      Concord’s Favorite Party Venue

      Adults celebrate on the podium at K1 Speed during a retirement party.

      Whether it’s a lively Friday night or a lazy Sunday afternoon, the easiest way to experience indoor karting at our Concord location is our Arrive & Drive package. This option allows racers of all ages* to compete in heats for the fastest lap with up to 12 other competitors – no reservation required. Simply show up with your friends and family in tow! We provide the helmets and driving instruction needed to safely compete on our track.

       

      For larger parties, we also offer a number of private race packages. Each includes multi-heat race formats, podium ceremonies for the winners, reserved race times, and exclusive access to our track. These packages are ideal for special events, business meetings, and more, such as:

       

       

      If you do decide to host a special event at our Concord indoor go-kart racing location, we have private meeting rooms available as well. Each includes complimentary WiFi access, multimedia setups, ample seating, and a private space for you and your party to escape to during race heats. To book a race package for your event, contact K1 Speed today.

      Come In Today

      Located a stone’s throw from Kannapolis and a short drive from Charlotte, K1 Speed Concord is the place to spend time with friends! Visit our indoor entertainment center today and see for yourself! We look forward to seeing you soon.

      We had a ton of fun at K1 but some of the cars violently shook from accidents. The thing that got me is they said no cameras- which they've allowed before. The sign says it's for safety. But you can RENT a camera and PAY for videos. So they monetized it and greed isn't cool

      Overall I had a good time, but during my third race there was a family that came and treated the karts and other drivers like it was bumper cars. They crash into each other and the rest of us at high speeds every lap causing us to stop. While I was given a free race to compensate, this family was not pulled off the track, which led to someone in their next race being seriously injured. The guys running things need to be aware of these situations and either kick people like that out or make them race in their own groups.

      2-26-22Did the three race pass ($59.99). You get about 10 laps per race. The track is winding, has sharp curves, etc. The karts are fast. Will add that after three races, I found some cars handle better than others. Also note that the employees have control over the cars and can slow you down for emergencies, racers who've spun out, the occasional reckless jerk, etc. Expect this at times. You are timed on your laps if you want to compete with others.Logistically, you can spend a lot of time here waiting on your races. Hours. Expect some wait at peak times. Can be tough on your arms, neck, back from doing sharp turns, impact with others, etc. I am in decent shape and was fatigued after my three races.This was fun and I really enjoyed this.Two things I don't like:1)Requiring a membership costing 7.95 is pretty much silly. I can't think of any reason to have this other than getting more money2)Also they charge a fee to use cards, a few dollars. No bueno. I understand swipe fees but there are few places that still charge a fee (at least outright and not part of the cost) to conduct business. Per the price to do anything, I find this as insulting as the membership fee.

      Niece and I had a lot of fun - 1 race wore me out. It is much faster than it looks. Great price and easy process with lots of safety built in. Employees were very helpful and easy to get guidance from.

      Very clean and great games. But if you want to experience the go karts you'll need to arrive on the weekends in the morning or during the weekdays. If not the wait time is around 2 hours. The staff was decent. They could be a little friendlier.
