A great option for anyone feeling the need for speed.  They host a lot of events for drivers and vehicles of all types. Always clean and always a friendly staff!

Horrible experience. We bought a groupon and when we arranged the experience we were told that we would have the chance to opt out of insurance but were forced to spend $100 when we got there stating it was mandatory? The drivers that accompanied us were great but the check in was long and the customer service poor. The cars were pretty cool but I can't say for $300 that experience was worth it Read Less

I hate to say it but pea gravel would probably help a bunch in T1 there if there are no other options. Either way I am sure they owners will put a good effort into making it safer. Last weekend was a good smoke test for them. Everything went pretty damn smooth there for their first try at a sizable event. Our group was asked multiple times throughout the weekend if we needed a ride or wanted them to haul our stuff to or from our truck by the owners. They called in more food vendors for Sunday after seeing the lines on Saturday. I cant say enough good about the place at this point. It is very refreshing to see compared to what we are use to seeing at most of the other tracks at this point. This is an awesome summation of the weekend. The PIRC owners killed it, especially with it being the first event. It'll be much better when that timing tower is finished, which is a shame because it seemed as though everything else was pretty much done. Regardless, it was a great turnout, and not crazy like I originally thought coming in and out (one 2 lane road). Although minimal, I was most impressed with the calling of food trucks for Sunday because the lines were so long, and the vendor(s) ran out of food.... great decision on the owners part, even though the lines were still long lol. Everything was clean, the trash was collected so there wasn't any gross overflow; all in all, an awesome event and outcome. If I had to say some improvements for conversation's sake, obviously a gravel trap would do wonders in T1, but also the seating needs to be improved. We are all pretty much confined to 2 hill sides, with only 1 big screen further down after T2 (but you can barely see T1 from there, if at all). I think if they were somehow able to put some seating in the infield to get different views of the track such as on the hillside above T1, or in between the track coming from T6-T7 (back straight to the start of the esses), and some on the downhill of the North Track, it would be even more top notch. Overall, the MotoAmerica event was a HUGE success and the owners are doing a spectacular job with the facility. Keep it up. Read Less

This place would be a 5 star if they handled things a little better.Me and a bunch of friends drove out here for a little karting over the weekend.  Most of us from hundreds of miles away.After waiting our turn to get on the track, we all paid for 3 heats each.Unfortunately, there were a bunch of karts in disrepair.Two of them had loose throttle cables, causing some of us to lose anywhere from 8-11 seconds per lap, and one of them had bad steering and couldn't turn right to save its life.  (The guy who took first place in our first heat, moved to second last in the second.)We told them about it, and we watched them fix them right there on the spot.  But did we get another chance to get out there since we were screwed out of a fair chance on heats?  No.  We were told, 'eh.  they're mechanical devices; it happens.' and sent on our way.We were all prepared to drop more money on more races, but after that, we went and spent our money somewhere else instead.We won't be back.  I wouldn't suggest anyone else go either.

I can't recommend this enough. Parents (and fiances) are welcome in the classroom and I learned a few things. And I am not a new driver.The instructors are funny and kind.
