FAQs

  • How Long Have You Been Around?
    We started our go-kart business in 1996 at Windsor Airport. We had a small area in their parking lot for 4 consecutive years, until the city took over the Airport. We reopend the track on a permanent basis, in 2005, on an adjacent property, where we are located now.

We offer 3 Viper model karts which are designed for an adult driver and a child passenger, over 40". We have 1 double kart which is designed for 2 adults. It is reserved for special needs passengers who are unable to drive their own but wish to experience the thrill of go-karting. 2 adults fit comfortably in this kart. The Junior karts are available on our Junior Track for drivers under 54" but must be at least 40" to drive them.
  • What Kinds Of Engines Do The Karts Have?

    It takes approximately 50 seconds to make a lap on the Main Track, depending on driving skills.
  • How Fast Do The Karts Go?
    On the Main Track our Pythons go 45km (28 mph). Our 2 seat karts are slower due to the size of the kart. Our Junior Track karts go a little faster than battery operated jeeps.
  • Is There Something Wrong With My Kart Because It Loses Power Periodically?
    All the karts have remotely operated shut offs which cut the gas to the engine. These are one of the safety measures we have in place to slow individual karts or the whole track if needed. Often times there is someone who needs assistance or a driver is not handling their kart properly. There are instances where unruley drivers may be slowed down in every turn or whenever they near another kart, should they ignore our rules.

  • How Difficult Is It To Drive A Kart?
    Driving a go-kart is very easy to do provided they are driven at a speed you are comfortable with. There is a gas pedal and a brake. The steering wheel column is between your legs. You must use 2 feet to drive but only press the brake pedal when you want to slow down suddenly or stop. Letting go of the gas pedal will slow your kart enough to gain control again.
  • What Happens When It Starts To Rain?
    If patrons are on the track they will be allowed to finish their ride, provided they are handling their kart properly and are slowing down around the turns to avoid spinning out. If they are not able to handle their kart safely, they will be given tickets for the remainder of their ride for another day. If tickets are purchased and you have not been on the track, your ticket will be authorized for another day.
