Checkered Flag Indoor Karting

Very disappointed. Went years ago and it was fun. I would say it almost compared to F1 Boston. Now it’s go karts like at a ice cream place. When race started karts moved pretty fast and then the kid controlling it at pit must slow them because in both races we held gas the entire time. Never needed to slow down or even touch break. The kid controlling it def liked the power he had. He was funny. At some point he’s was yelling at the other «come on people a strait line is easy rule to follow». And then he gave another group a speech about he won’t tolerate there bumping The group I was in never got yelled at it spoken to but there was no need. It’s was ice cream parlor go carts. Very sad I went in 2012 and it was fast and involved skill. Young children may enjoy it. Adults don’t was ur time

Well organized, excellent equipment and super staff!
This place is well worth the effort to check out.

Checkered Flag is the poor man’s version of F1 Boston…
–Only 1 track and it’s much shorter (no bridge, no tunnel, etc.)
–Carts are older and banged up and go much slower
–The overall appearance is underwhelming
–The staff wasn’t rude but not friendly either
–The snack shack consists of pizza, hot dogs, etc. You really can’t go here for a meal.
I would never consider hosting a corporate event here but it might be good for a pre-​teen party.

Recently became a fan of karting and F1 racing and figured I’d look for a serious karting place to celebrate a birthday. Arrived with my girlfriend on an incredibly slow Wednesday (we were the only two there for an hour) and were kindly greeted and introduced to the whole process. The actual racing was good fun — each race is 15 laps, lasting about 7 minutes each. After each race you can take a break, check your times, and catch a drink of water. Since we were the only ones there, we were given a substantial amount of time between races.
Tom was also kind enough to give me a helmet as a gift, as all the older helmets were being replaced with newer ones that day.
My only complaint is that the kart seats are uncomfortable as my back was a tad bruised walking out. Overall, it was a great experience and I do plan on going back frequently.

I organized a corporate outing recently and the whole process went incredibly smoothly with impeccable customer service! All my colleagues and myself had a great time, the night was a huge success!
Shout out to Tom, who was friendly and personable during the whole experience and went waaaay above and beyond by personally delivering a colleague’s glasses that had been left behind to the restaurant we went to afterwards! Can’t beat that for service!

Ooof, this place. So expensive for what it is. And, yet, the kids will have a good time. It’s just that you will be So Much Poorer afterward. For adults, the karts are horrible — slow, ill handling and they make you go through all this «training» even still. Again, if you don’t mind parting with a ton of money (I think it was $ 80 for the three of us to ride twice — like 15m), then go for it. Otherwise, I would take a simulator over this.

We booked our son’s 11^th birthday party there. Staff was super accommodating and gracious. The kids had a great time getting into their head sock, helmet and neck brace. They raced, had good pizza, played games and won prices. BJ’s right around the corner was the perfect spot for grabbing an ice cream cake and chips. Gail who was attending to the party room was delightful. Everything was well timed and organized and it was 2 hours well spent. Overall a fantastic experience.

Had my son’s 13^th b-​day party today and had a blast! The staff was awesome, nice, helpful and caring. Its been a long time since I witnessed a staff that work well together. They all seem like they really enjoyed their job. Special shot out to Gail, who pretty much catered to my every need. She has such a great heart and we love her :)
Couple of things that stood out the most:
1. The place was really clean. We appreciate it!
2. The way they care for the equipment. It felt good knowing that there weren’t anything crawling in head socks.
3. The speed of the carts — it was pretty fast
4. Again the staff. It was an awesome environment.
5. Checkered Flag have some attractive men working there.
xoxox Kisses!

This place is so much fun! They have a small snack bar, a shop, an area for parties, and an area where you can stand and watch the action on the track. You can also buy a laminated license. They are very reasonably priced too.

Get a bigger location so that you can have a bigger track the track is to Small, when you do move to a bigger location, post it so we can check out the bigger track, so you can Compete with F1 Boston.

Awesome! I went here with 4 of my guy friends (ages 26 – 36), for my birthday, I wanted something that guys and girls could do. After I did some research this place came up. After driving through a snow storm we were so happy to arrive! The guys even more then me!
The staff was absolutely awesome, from our checkin to the ‘pit master’! The were funny and helpful. There were at least 3 other groups there, yet time flew by in between the races.
There was food and screens that displayed the stats of the races and racers (huge hit for the guys). They also have a 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd are to take photos to capture the moment.
When you are behind the wheel you feel like you are at Daytona! So much fun, there are even different levels of speed dependent on the age of the racers.
So after an awesome day of reasonable priced races (and a 5 – 10 min instructional video, that gets you ready to race) We all left beyond happy! UNTIL the way home I realized I had left my hat at the computers where we had our pictures taken (Because it was my birthday I got an actual license!) I called back and asked if it was still there, after the gentleman found it I offered to send a check to pay for return shipping, he said no worries! I received my hat in the mail a few days later!!!
We all had an amazing time and will certainly go back and tell our friends!
AMAZING place for all ages, super fun, fantastic staff, great times!
on the Green side, the track is electric so no loud gas cars!

Hotter than hell inside but fun! Great for a rainy day

Mehhhhhhhhh. That’s how I felt about the place.
A few things to note:
–If you go in winter, wear a hoodie or three because the place isn’t heated
–If you go on a weekend, expect to wait. And wait. And wait some more.
–No matter when you go, know this, their computer system for organizing racers is haphazard at best. I was told we’d have to wait until everyone else before us finished their races, it doesn’t incorporate new racers until everyone else before you finishes.
–The management was actually really nice and accommodating
–If you’re an adult who gets put with a child in the race, they slow down all of the karts on the track to junior speed.
Since I have about eight races left, I’ll definitely be back to use them up.

This was definitely a fun way to spend a Saturday night if you want to shred the gnar!!! I went to Checkered Flag with a group of 18 friends and the staff were very accomodating and easily handled our large group. The go-​kart racing itself was fun and hillarious at the same time. Picture a group of mid twenty-​something professionals flying around a racetrack in little go-​karts, wearing obscenely large helmets (safety first!), and fighting over who will get the #11 car (it was the fastest). This was a nice break from the typical Saturday night bar scene and it’s only 30 minutes north of Boston.
One small complaint is that the go-​karts were battery operated and it seemed as if some karts were more charged than others and therefore faster. Everyone wants their go-​kart to be as fast as possible right? I’m sure this is an issue that the folks at Checkered Flag can address for future guests. A good time and recommended!
