What parents say
"First time in years that we have gone there to race, and it was the first time ever for our son who is 9 y.o. The K1 staff were so kind and professional. Brian was specially helpful and was able to give our son some tips that helped him dramatically improve his time from the first set of laps to the next. We will definitely be back! Our son also asked to be part of their Junior League, so we will look into that."
