A New Racing Challenge


South Florida’s Longest and Fastest Indoor Go Kart Track is getting a makeover! While we’ve all grown attached to our go-kart track, we promise, change is good. The Xtreme Pit Crew has been working tirelessly to bring you an exciting all-new, ultra-fresh, layout design for you to sink your tires into. The all new go-kart track features not one but TWO layouts:

Standard Track with thrilling new turns, chicanes, and shorter straights, this new layout incorporates a reinforced barrier and is well supported for all drivers.

Fast Track with more of an oval shape and fewer turns for easier handling for younger drivers or cadet karts. AND for those with a need for speed, the track is adaptable to accommodate even more straightaways – perfect for our soon to arrive brand new Super Kart fleet.

Now, all we need to do is set the new track time!  And a new qualifying time for our Super Kart fleet. Will you be the one to set it?  Come to the track now and see be the first to try out the all new race track.

What are the Benefits of Updating the Track?
  •          Tweaking previous design elements to allow for increased speeds at the highest possible safety levels.
  •         Updating worn out track walls and dividers to newer tech and builds.
  •          Keep things fresh, exciting, and new!
  •          Challenging our members to see who can set the best time, every time.

Laps vs. Timed Race Sessions


All too often it has been questioned which is better: Laps vs. Timed Race Sessions. Here are some tips to help you decide:

Track Length: If the track is a half mile long, like ours, you can expect it to take an average of 35 seconds to complete one lap. A shorter track may only take 20-25 seconds to complete a lap. Track length and lap times will help you determine if you are really getting enough seat time for your spend.

Lap Races: A great option for a race experience. When you participate in a lap race, you are competing with other drivers. If someone is faster or a more experienced driver, then you can only complete the amount of laps allowed until the fastest driver reaches the finish line and the race ends. So if you only drive 8 laps in the amount of time it takes someone else to drive 10 – you don’t get to continue driving. The race ends and so do you.

Timed Race Sessions: Race the clock for your Fastest Lap Time! Timed race sessions are a great choice to work on your race technique and practice. In this heat, or group, all drivers are racing the clock to reach or exceed their fastest lap time. Here you can truly hone in the race line, work on maneuvering around other karts and feel the thrill of racing but at your own pace. When the time’s up – your race ends. You can then see your results and determine your best laps and tips for faster race next time in.

Comparison Guide of Laps vs. Timed Race Sessions at Xtreme Action Park:


*Based on average lap time of 40-50 seconds for Cadet Karts, 35-45 seconds for Pro Karts and 28-33 seconds for Super Karts. Lap counts listed are for example purposes only – not guaranteed.

At Xtreme Action Park, we offer both Time Race Sessions and Lap Races. We recommend for first time and recreational racing to participate in our Arrive and Drive Timed Races. However, Lap Races will give you the closest “real” racing experience and our formats are second to none! We offer qualifying laps in conjunction with a grid line up and green flag start. Just you and your group on the track… then it is truly a competition race to the checkered flag for the finish!
