Speeders Indoor Prokarts

Speeders is a ton of a fun, and has great potential to become a 5 star experience. This is not go-​karting where you get to bump into people and the sides. It’s meant to be a race, not bumper cars. The goal is to get your best time, and it really is quite a bit of fun.
There are a lot of rules, and while I can appreciate rules for safety, it gets really annoying, really fast, when there are 10 people racing at once and yellow flags keep popping up, slowing everyone to a crawl. For the size of the track, 10 people going at once is a little much. Even 8 would be better. It seems that every time someone bumps into the side or drifts the yellow flag is out and we all get slowed down. It would be nice if everyone could just follow the rules, but of course that’s not the case. Then you have the rule of keeping left so people can pass, and with 10 people at once you’re lucky to even get a chance to pass as the course is not wide or long enough.
The pricing is a bit exorbitant. You have to pay $ 16 to register (annual fee), and then one race is $ 20, 3 for $ 49, of 5 for $ 79. Let me say, one race will not be enough if you’ve never been. And the races are «up to 14 laps». I went 3 times, and while it was fun, $ 16 fee plus $ 49 for 3 laps is quite the price tag (my experience was free as it was with work).
Overall, if you feel like spending the money to go, then do it. You’ll definitely have fun. I just think that the course is too small for 10 people going at once. It really affects how fast you can go when you keep getting slowed down.

This used to be one of my favourite things to do in the city. Excellent staff, excellent facility, very well set up. I couldn’t even complain about the pricing, since one can easily see what an expensive operation this is to create and run for our enjoyment. Four years ago I would have given this place 5 stars in a heartbeat.
However in the past year or so, the cart maintenance has seemed to deteriorate to the point that I consider it a good day if I get a good cart in one out of 3 races. This may not be terribly noticeable if you have never driven go carts before, but for those of us that have our «pro speed» license, it is extremely noticeable. What is worse is that the complaints about this from many of the «regulars» seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
In a recent competitive race, my whole cart was chattering around the track since both of my front tires had large gouges in them. Before the race was over, I had my front left tire pop and go completely flat. My cart was replaced for the last two laps, but I was never offered a replacement race to compensate me for the first 11 terrible laps.
If you are new to go-​carting and just want to try something new, then by all means give it a try. As for myself, I will be spending my money elsewhere until the owner chooses to address this glaring issue.

Worst place for go karting imaginable !
Not allowed to drift, must stay a good distance from anyone
Not allowed to pass or bump or touch the sides of the course
They control your kart from a remote slow u down constantly and always throw yellow flags that slow people down over stupid things
To many god damn rules
They charge u 16 $ if you’ve never been, to make a membership which is useless
Then u pay 20 $ for a 8minute race most of which is caution n slowing you down for anyone’s stupidity
Then 50 $ for 3 races
So expensive m stupid
Avoid this place !!!’

Who doesn’t love speed, and racing around in go karts? So much fun! I went last night for the first time, the staff are awesome I didn’t have 1 complaint about them. So thank you for your awesomeness! Friday night is ladies night, so for any of you ladies that want to get speedy here’s your place to go, nothing wrong with getting it cheaper than the guys– LOL It came to about $ 30 for the membership and 1 race that I bought which I thought was a reasonable price! I will defiantly be back again sometime in the near future!

Its not cheap and its not for kids — at all no matter what they advertise or say!!! Unless your kids are over sixteen or super tall forget it, staff is rude and they almost require adult supervision. This place used to be great, its like most places once the new wears off the old and the cynical move in.

This is one of the best places to go with buddies for thrilling, adventures and of course for fun. They will ask you to create a profile and you will have to pay the mandatory one year membership fee .
Staffs are really friendly and helpful. This place is really good for group events and office parties. Check out their website before you are planning to go. Perhaps you can find some good deals on prices.
Oh and you will get a free race if you go there on your birth month.
Good times !

Had a lot of fun both times I’ve been. Little expensive but it is a great environment to go for a few laps. At the end you get a printout of your run and can compare times with the people in your group to see how you rank. This is really helpful if you’re on the track with a bunch of people and don’t necessarily get to race with just your group. Ensures bragging rights are awarded to the rightful party!
Prokarts are fast and no one under the age of 12 is allowed to drive so it’s usually a reasonable competition. I was a little upset that on my last visit they bunched me and my friend in with a large group instead of offering us the chance to wait and race on our own. Found that there were a few super cautious people and they weren’t great at letting faster cars pass, but still a pretty good time.
Be sure to bring extra footwwear as outdoor shoes are not allowed!

Expensive go karting… But would you have it any other way? Expensive means fast. Expensive means safe. Expensive means no lineup. I was very impressed with my first experience at speeders. I wish the track was twice as long, but at least the races were 14 laps. Can’t wait to go back again.

I Have been here twice and really enjoyed the carts, they are fast. they could make the track bigger, there is a big empty space in the corner that isn’t used for anything.
also as it can be a up to an hour wait when its busy, they need more tv’s, video games, foosball, to kill the time (since they have the space for this stuff) otherwise make the track bigger and it would be perfect.

Booked a bachelor party here. From the outside, it doesn’t look like much but once you step in, these guys are definitely not messing around.
The thing that stood out the most for me were the staff. Every line of staff, from the race marshall to the receptionist were exceptional. The receptionist were extremely friendly and helpful and the actual pit staff weren’t just there to do their job. They actually talk to you about the races and are enthusiastic about your experience.
The cool thing about Speeders is they change their track up every so often so it’s always fresh and exciting. After every race, you get print outs of performance which I think is really cool if you’re in a group and want to have bragging rights.
The price is a bit up there ($ 69.99 for 3 races) but compared to the other places in the city, these guys take go karting pretty seriously and is definitely recommended for groups of 8 or more.

This is definitely a fun place to go with a group of people looking to have some fun. It’s not the cheapest place in the world, but you get your money’s worth.
Your races are divided up into categories like qualifying and different race types, and you have a break in between each event. You do get tired, so the break is welcomed. It starts you off fairly slowly so that you can get used to the carts and the track, but be prepared for when they unleash the full potential of the cart… it is quite a difference.
The staff explain things very well to you, and are on hand throughout your races if you have any. uh, problems — (read: crashes).
This is an ideal place to start of a stag or bachelor party!

I came here with my staff for a 30 – 35 person party with Footlocker Canada. I really enjoyed dealing with them to get this setup done. they were accommodating to my every need. they even worked me out a great corporate rate.
We essentially all got memberships upgrade to elite memberships which got all my staff free races on their birthday week which is great because every single one of my staff members really enjoyed it.
Our package included 12 practise laps, 2×12 qualifying laps and a 14 lap final race. we had medals and a podium pose at the end. I found this to be really detailed and organized on speeders staff’s part. We got print outs after every race with racers stats which really gave all of us a picture of how we classified. it really instilled a competitive environment which is what I need managing a staff of 50 people in a retail store. it really bonded the team well as we saw team work on the track trying to qualify for the best time.
We also booked a rather large room which accommodated all of our food and drinks along with all of our possessions.
Id love to do this again, speeders was a great experience!
Thanks speeders!

We saw that they had a deal that you could pay fourteen dollars for twelve laps. It sounded like a great deal, but upon arrival they said that had we read more closely it was only for premium accounts… and they were really rude and abrupt, defensive, when they said it, so it seemed like it wasn’t the first time they’d heard that. Worse, they claimed that it was on the website so that we should’ve known, and I just checked the website and lo and behold, nowhere does it say you need a premium membership!
So to get the deal, we would need a premium membership at eighteen dollars, plus the fourteen, so that’s thirty two dollars for twelve laps. Outrageous, but on the board I saw that twelve laps were twenty dollars.
So, twenty dollars for twelve laps. Not as good as the fourteen… but not bad… but NO! You can’t ride the carts without a membership, which costs seven bucks for the regular and eighteen bucks for the premium membership. So, that’s become twenty seven bucks for twelve laps with the regular membership, and the big deal they advertised was fourteen. Apart from feeling like they were sneaky about the whole thing, they were rude about it! So, I can’t comment on the actual ‘prokarts’ because there was no way I was going to pay that or put up with that.
Update: They’ve now changed their website, possibly because of my complaint, although the asserted it was there well before it was. Cheap.

This place is a blast! We just did a couple of races but could have stayed all day. While the track isn’t that big and doesn’t look that hard, the carts go fast and it can be pretty challenging. They also give you a printout with all sorts of data about your race times and break it down by lap, so each time you go you can try to beat your own times. This would be an awesome place to bring a group.
