First time being there with South FL Mini GP but track was amazing super nice facility definitely worth a trip and ill be back for more soon!
Anderson no longer rents individual carts, but they will rent for groups of 8-15. Myself along with 8 other moms got our 16 year old sons a group rental for Christmas. It. Was. Worth it. One of the dads drove as well and he too had a blast. Anderson was professional and prompt. They had a nice sitting area with drinks and snacks for the spectators (although not good sitting while watching, just for waiting in between races). The carts are FAST and have a very low center of gravity so flipping isn’t really a concern. The boys would spin out when they took a turn too quickly but nothing scary. They had a great podium ceremony for the top three racers at the end and the boys absolutely loved it. Every single person who participates said they would do it Again.
As a side note, they are very serious about their waivers for minors. If you print it out and get it notarized ahead of time MAKE SURE IT IS IN COLOR. I sent one of the notarized forms via email ahead of time and it was rejected for being in black and white. It doesn’t hurt to send it to them ahead of time to make sure you have it right before you send a minor there without your presence.
A few years late on this review but we wanted to make sure to give praise where it is due, we took our staff out for a company outing at Andersen RacePark and had an absolute blast, it was a great break from the tough weeks and was some fun competition for the whole staff. Highly recommended for a team building event.
My first time racing go carts and WHAT A FREAKIN BLAST I HAD!!!! It was a few years ago thinking about it now still gives me a rush, i was only female and rest (think there was 8 male) i came in 3rd place, good fun for sure!!!! Want to bring my friends to have another go at it!
We had a fantastic experience here with the friendly and helpful staff, nice facilities, challenging track and well prepped karts, and flexibility with their hours and schedule. I definitely recommend their kids instruction course as it provided a great mixture of track and classroom time to teach important concepts on turning, braking, and the fastest and safest lines. Matt, Neil, and the whole crew there do a very nice job and are true race enthusiasts.
Matt is really experienced and does a great job teaching the kids how to safely and effectively drive. My son loved it and we will definitely be back.
One of the coolest experiences I've ever had.
I've always dreamed of racing as a hobby. I've always thought it would be one of the coolest things to get into, but where do you start?
Here, actually.
This is where you go to learn the basics of racing technique in a safer, more accessible environment.
To be sure, this isn't your 10-year-olds go-karts, either. These things get up to a ridiculous top speed, made to feel even faster by your proximity to the track and the open chassis.
Powering through turns and struggling against the G's is just a phenomenal experience. It's truly exhilarating to fight against your own time and navigate the presence of others on the track, and man if you even manage to pass somebody you feel like the fastest guy around.
As a newcomer to racing, this was exactly what I needed to know that this hobby is for me. I can't wait to delve deeper into it.
Experience aside, the employees at the facility were exceptional. They took care of us, explained the track and the techniques to shave off our time. The facility is clean, heck even the snack bar prices are reasonable.
Beyond all that, the facility manager sent me an email about a lost handkerchief, understanding how important it was to me.
I hope you take the dive into a racing experience and head out to there to see what it's really like.
Real exhilarating fun! They send you out with an experienced driver in the lead to get a feel for the track and how fast you can really go. Second session you can go by yourself. Looking forward to doing it again!
