What you’ll do

RPM Raceway believes that anyone can be a driver. No stoplights, speed limits or lanes. Whether gunning it through our lightning fast straightaways, or finding the apex of each hairpin turn, RPM Raceway’s fastest lap racing format will elevate your adrenaline level as you accelerate through its quarter mile European-style racetracks in high-performance, Italian-made go-karts capable of speeds up to 45 MPH+. Race head-to-head against your friends during Arrive and Drive, gather a group of 8+ for a competitive 2, 3 or 4 race event, host a personal celebration race or put your skills to the test among the very best during our year-round racing leagues. Grab a helmet, get behind the wheel and drive like a pro.

  • Go the Distance: Push the limits of recreational kart speeds. Don’t lose time in the corners, master the braking zones. Use the brakes at the right moment to lose as little time as possible in the corner. Punch it and explode out of the turn and down the straightaway. These are skills that any pro has mastered. Our go-karts give you the ability to try these skills out for yourself. And they’re safe enough for drivers with no racing experience. Our karts can be electronically controlled in case someone decides to play demolition derby. And because they’re electric, our karts are also emission-free. So don’t worry about the fumes or special clothing. All you need is closed toed shoes.
  • Recharge Your Batteries: Racing works up quite an appetite. Whether you need a snack between races or catering for your pit crew, we’ve got you covered.
  • Press Play: Choose from a variety of arcade games, from time-honored classics to the latest in video game technology. Get a game card and play the day away.We offer the most realistic and top-notch racing experiences. In addition to our state-of-the-art karts, you can also test your skills and get the feeling of driving an actual race car at top speeds on our unique racing simulator. You can either get behind the wheel or ride-along in the two passenger seats.

Things to keep in mind

Weight/Height Requirements for Racing: There is no set weight requirement, however, the parameters we can suggest is someone more than 250 – 275 lbs may not be as comfortable, though we encourage all to race. We’ve had NFL Linebackers in our karts! As for height, a racer must be at least 4’ tall (and 6 years old) to race in a junior kart and at least 4’ 10” to race in an adult kart.

What should you wear: It’s best to wear comfortable clothing. It is required that you wear closed-toed shoes. We provide a head sock and helmets for all racers If you have your own helmet, you are permitted to wear it, as long as it is equipped with a full-face cover and DOT certified.

Do you need to be experienced to race: No prior racing experience is needed. All racers will view a safety video prior to racing to brief them on how to operate a kart, rules and guidelines of the track.

Can adults and children race together: Due to state regulations we are not able to race adult karts and junior karts on the track at the same time. We separate racers into 3 categories – junior, non-licensed adults and licensed adults. All are separate categories and race with others of the like.

How Fast are the Go-Karts: We have 3 speeds at RPM Raceway: adult speed which is speed 4 that goes up to 45 mph, non-licensed which is speed 3 and goes up to 35 MPH and our Junior karts which goes up to 25 MPH.
