JD Karting

Great facilities and really fast cars. The staff is very professional and cares about your safety. We came during a weekday during work hours and had the track to ourselves. I think a paid race is 15 laps, which is great value. Our only problem was the computer timing was not working and we could not get accurate laps times for each driver.
Also liked that the electric cars were very quiet. The helmets were very clean/​no smell because each driver wears a cloth cap.

Pretty good karts, fast track. Staff was friendly. They need to work out a more efficient and «friendly» way for groups to pay. They take one credit card per group so that’s tough but the experience was spot on awesome.

My first go carting experience. The facilities are spacious and clean, and we were impressed by the quiet electric go carts. We came as a group of 8 and signed on for 3 races. The races were fun on the curvy tracks.
As a complete go kart newbie I spent my time just trying to get the hang of the car. Our group definitely enjoyed it, though the tracks were narrow so passing was difficult, which cut into the fun of the whole thing, according to my much more go cart pro friends.
The stars are docked due to the same reasons as other Unilocalers, the racing policies are stiff and inflexible. We understand that there are set schedules, but when 3 of our group needed to sit out of the last race, it didn’t seem that hard to offer the extra space to 3 other people. They were adamant that because of their fixed schedule they cannot offer those spaces to other racers who may want them. The attendant was professional and nice about it and offered to refund us for the 3 racers.
It would be nice if they could be more flexible. Still a fun experience nonetheless.

This place was great! We came as a group for my dad’s birthday and had two races. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time! The only other go kart place I’ve been to is pole position in Vegas and I thought this place was just as good! Karts are fast, staff is professional and track was clean.
Can’t speak to individual walk in races but if you go in with a reservation and as a group, to a blast!

As far as I’m concerned I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who is not a common racer due to the fact that they are very rude to newcomers. Also as my first time coming here I was constantly stuck moving aside for the more «common racer» so that they could get more time and get into first. So if your trying this place I would not highly recommend it instead go to Dave and Busters which is better.

I had a birthday party here for my husband in July 2013. They were very accommodating and even though there were some technical difficulties with the computers and our races were delayed they allowed us to stay over our allotted time and race an extra race. We were allowed to cater in food from a local restaurant which was very nice. We experienced no track issues, maybe because we were one party on the track at a time? All in all, we plan on going back very soon.

Had such high hopes going in. Karts were great, fast and handled fantastic. Facility was also great, spacious and clean. The racing policy is where it fell apart. They coddle the regulars by making you slow down and move over so they can pass. They tell you that you’re not racing for position, just times, so it ok to move over and slow down. That doesn’t make any sense. Have never heard that at any other racing facility. If you can’t pass somebody on your own skill, suck it up and try harder. Will not be going back.

My friends and I often race at another track in the area, but we decided to change it up and try a new place. I was looking forward to trying electric karts and racing outside of the cold. The facility was excellent, the karts were fast, and the track was challenging. Unfortunately all of this was ruined by the awful racing policies. Regulars are given preferential treatment on the track giving a huge disadvantage to newcomers. I understand not blocking the track, but it is infuriating to be told to stop and let others pass at every turn. Their rationale is that faster drivers want better lap times, which is understandable, but so do the rest of us, and asking us to stop at each turn just makes the situation worse.
My friends and I were very disappointed, and none of us will be returning.

This place has terrible customer service and is run by incompetent teenagers. I predict it won’t last a year. Prices are outrageous.

you have to come to this place. So much fun. I will be back for sure. This would be a great event for the family or a work party. OUTSTANDING. #1 fun thing to do in this area.

Newly opened JD Karting is a pretty nice facility. They have electric karts, which are pretty peppy, at least at the beginning of the run. I didn’t kart while I was there, but my husband says that the karts were nice and fast in the beginning but the tires were not warmed up, so the kart skid around a lot, and then towards the end of the run, when the tires were warmed up, the kart would start running out of power and noticeably slow down, so there were only a couple of laps in the middle of the run that allowed for optimum driving. Like Kart2Kart, JD Karting also gives you a print out of your run, so that you can compare it with everyone.
Apart from that, the place was pretty nice. They had a couple of screen showing the lap times of everyone on track, including one that could be seen while you are on the track driving. I don’t think they serve alcohol yet, but they had an array of soft drinks, tea, coffee etc. and some snacks like candy and bags of chips. There was a birthday in our group, and they let us bring in a cake (from Whole Foods) and cut/​eat it at our table. While we were leaving, I asked everyone in our group what they had thought, and most agreed that they’d come back to JD Karting, but that the karting was more fun at Kart2Kart, because those karts are better.

Went here for a friends birthday. The facility is really nice buts its really strange that the karts make no noise though. I raced 2 sessions. The track still needs to «rubber in» but is pretty good. I do wish it had a straight away or two. The way it is setup you should never have to use the brake, which in my opinion is kinda lame. I also wish they had a track map on the wall somewhere to use to discuss lines. The electric karts were interesting. They had nice adjustment options so that tall and short people can fit. But I was slightly disappointed with the performance of the electric karts. First off they are a little slow, like i said before i don’t have to brake anywhere on the track. Also, we all agreed its kinda slightly harder to gauge your speed without engine noise. But the worst part is the lack of lap to lap consistency. The power noticeably decreases from lap to lap. If you look at your lap times you can see that your lap times will linearly increase with time and that the further into the session you get the less you have to lift into corners (and this is not because of tire temps). Basically if you were trying to set your fast lap you have to do it on the first lap. Its still fun thought but its no kart 2 kart (though kart 2 kart needs to update their karts). Also they don’t serve any booze.
