The staff handled our group with a smile and made the entire experience run smoothly. The hosts were friendly, organized, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The kids had an absolute blast racing and competing with one another. Watching their excitement alone made the visit worthwhile. I couldn't resist joining in for the final race, and those go-karts are no joke! They're fast, responsive, and incredibly fun to drive. It was just as enjoyable for the adults as it was for the kids. If you're looking for a place to host a team event, birthday party, or just spend a fun afternoon, Fastimes is a great choice.

We were immediately greeted with a big smile from a gentleman who proudly shared that he's been working there for 23 years. He took the time to explain everything, from the teen karts (which go up to 30 mph) to the adult karts (up to 40 mph). I was impressed to learn that licensed 16-year-olds can drive the adult karts..neat and a little scary! They offer a private room, though note that private events aren't booked on weekends and reservations aren't taken. However, if it's not busy, the private room is often available. Also, any racer under 18 needs a waiver signed by a guardian 24 hours in advance. The day of the party, we arrived early since it's first-come, first-served. The ladies at the counter were friendly and set us up in the private room, which was perfect for our group of twelve 16-year-olds. The space is roomy, has AV capabilities, and features a huge window overlooking the track. There's even an order window in the room for added convenience! The food options exceeded my expectations as well--the menu is larger than I expected, and the pizzas and tater tots we ordered were pretty tasty. We'll definitely be back. Such a great experience!

The revving sounds of the monster trucks can be quite loud, but only momentarily, and it builds up the momentum for the crowd as the drivers ride the large mounds of dirt and entertain attendees with impressive maneuvers during their racing and monster truck freestyle performances. Anthony Ritter in the Dragon Slayer truck was a fan favorite, and for good reason. He had the speed, power, intensity, and confidence as he wowed the audience with his two wheeling and soaring through the air in his vehicle. Tuff trucks, like the Jurassic Park, added to the thrill. One tuff truck even tumbled, flipped over, lost its roof, and still landed on all four wheels... the driver giving a thumbs up out his window after all that, noting that he was okay, as the crowd roared with excitement and cheered him on. The announcer kept viewers educated and engaged throughout the show, adding some lighthearted humor with some of his remarks. And the event ended up being a lot more fun than I expected (free to attend with fair admission).

What an awesome experience! Speedway Indoor Karting is one of those places that makes you feel like…read morea kid again, while still being perfect for families, groups of friends, or even a fun team outing. From the moment we walked in, the energy was high--bright, clean, and full of excitement. The karts are fast, smooth, and really well-maintained. You can tell they put a lot of effort into safety as well as fun. The staff goes over everything clearly before you start, so even first-timers feel comfortable and confident. Once you're out on the track, though, it's pure adrenaline! The layout is great, with enough twists and turns to keep things interesting without being overwhelming. For families, this is a fantastic activity. Our kids had a blast, and it was so fun to see everyone laughing and getting into the competition. That said, it can get a little pricey if you're bringing a big group, but the experience is unique enough that it feels worth it for a special outing. What I really appreciate is the professionalism of the staff. They're friendly, patient, and keep things running smoothly even when the place is busy. The facility itself is clean, modern, and has more to offer than just karting--they've got other activities, food, and areas to hang out, which makes it easy to spend a whole afternoon here. Overall, Speedway Indoor Karting is a must-do if you're looking for something exciting and different. Whether you're a racing enthusiast or just want a fun activity for the family, you'll leave with big smiles and great memories. Highly recommend!

My fiancé loves racing and we always have a great time when we visit the Indianapolis Speedrome…read more They have a great variety of races. There isn't a bad seat in the house however I suggest bringing bleacher seats for the wooden bleachers. Hold off on eating dinner before you come as well. Their nachos are delicious and their tenderloins look pretty good. I LOVE the margaritas that they sell and the sugar rim tops it off perfectly. For the kids or kids at heart, they have snow cones, cotton candy, and dippin dots! The biggest complaint I have for this place is that many fans smoke in the stands and it's hard to get away from the smell. I wish they would ban smoking. Also be prepared to hear some foul language as the fans are really invested into the races. If you can handle those few bad things, come on out for family fun at the Indianapolis Speedrome

The seats would be my only complaint, but if we had been here before we would have known to bring a cushion or something because these wooden bleachers are killing my ass. The food and drinks, pizza, burgers, hotdogs, pretzels, nachos, snow cones, and of course lots of alcohol. Their are people smoking in the stands, cigarettes and other things, couple of times the smoke was a little overwhelming, maybe would've had to change seat if we had brought the kids. The parking is free, and not too long of a walk to the entrance, and I was parked all the way at the rear of the lot. Definitely would recommend.

This was my first time here, and has been rather a dream to come check out. LUCKILY i have some extended family that lives not far from the track. I only purchased tickets for the finals day because i didn't want to make a job out of coming for a whole week. I ended up going with the Top Eliminator Club tickets, which have a stout price, but it comes with some actual nice perks! There is a separate building you can go chill at with tons of seating and tv's everywhere to keep an eye on the action. It is an all-day event, so being able to go relax somewhere a little less loud and sit with your food is pretty nice. Outside there are tents that had I think 10 different types of drinks available free for TEC and you get breakfast in the morning which was fruit and sugary treats and then for lunch you get (1) run thru the lunch line so load up! (the wrist band has a thing they cut off) The food was pretty dang good! i figured after being in those big steamer trays for awhile all the flavor would have evaporated. It was well worth the extra cost and my wife who does not follow racing at all enjoyed the whole experience. The whole body rumble from the nitro funny cars was intense to say the least so the TEC building is a pretty cool thing to retreat to. I can't wait to do this again!

The NHRA U.S. Nationals runs here on Labor Day weekend each year. It's the biggest, the longest and most historic drag racing event in the world. We always enjoy seeing the Pro Stocks, Funny Cars, Mototcycles, Alcohol Dragsters and Top Fuel Dragsters on the well maintained track. In 2008, NHRA shorten the distance of the Funny Car and Top Fuel Dragster car races to 1,000 feet from the standard quarter-mile for safety reasons. Acres of parking including ADA parking along with camping is available. There really isn't a bad seat in the stands but I always recommend purchasing reserved seating in the grandstands. I prefer to sit in section BB and fairly high up. Yes, you'll smell like nitro but hopefully the wind is blowing the smoke away from your seat. Oh, and earplugs or ear protectors are highly recommended as the cars are LOUD! Rain delayed the 2022 festivities on Saturday when we were there but after the track was dry, around 2:00, it was back-to-back racing the remainder of the day. Shortly after announcements started a sky driver floated down carrying a briefcase with $80,000 prize money for the Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout Speciality Race with Steve Torrence winning the prize money. The other exciting run on Saturday was Justin Ashley in a Top Fuel Dragster who broke the track record with 335.032 but Brittany Force broke Ashley's new record on Sunday with 337.75.

However many you buy, you will wish it was more. Get as many as you can afford. This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Makes a great gift. Positives? Good cars with more capability than you will be able to use. These are actual retired race cars, mostly late model short track cars. Great instructors and staff. Radio communications in your ear while on the track. Passing allowed. You can really hang it out. Even if you're driving, get the ride along first, so you know how fast the cars are capable of going. Otherwise you'll waste laps getting up to speed. Drawbacks? They are usually running behind schedule. The personal equipment, firesuits, helmets, etc. are well used. If you have your own that meet the specs, bring them. By the time they are done explaining the damage policy everyone is spooked about damaging the cars. Get the damage insurance (upsell) and go for it. They will temp you with lots of upsells; videos, photos, insurance, extra laps. Conclusion? I highly recommend this company. I've been involved in short track oval racing for 50 years, and this is as close as most people will ever get to actually racing. It had been 20 years since I had driven a race car, and I was instantly back in those days.

Long wait. A friend…read moreand I were on the schedule for ride alongs at 2:30 PM. We didn't leave until around 5 PM. I believe the paperwork mentioned that they may be off schedule a bit and to allow an hour or so. That wasn't the case here. After being there for a couple of hours, we were informed that there was a gas leak earlier in the day that affected something and that something else happened. Because of that, they had one car instead of two and they were way behind schedule. They also had to reschedule people from the previous day because of rain, so I'm sure that was a part of it. Anyway, they offered us an extra lap around the track for having to wait so long. The two guys who worked in the ride along area and the driver of the car were all very nice. The ride was exhilarating. The driver would mostly ride along the outside of the track, only moving in a bit on the turns. I was slightly terrified because we were so close to the wall, but it was a blast. It goes by really quickly. Would I do this again? Maybe on a better day when I don't mind standing outside for a while. It was a cold and windy day.

I first contacted you early in the year and explained that Joe has significant special needs and asked if you could accommodate him to do the ride. Everyone there and at the track went out of their way to make this a day that this wonderful 9 year-old will never forget. The crew at the track went above and beyond to assure that his ride was fun while at the same time making sure that he would be safe. They never once lost patience or gave the impression that they were upset with the situation. In fact one of the staff said to my son-in-law, "don't worry, we will make this happen"....and they did. I hope that you will check out the pictures that we've posted on your Facebook page of Joe in his wheelchair with your driver and other pictures. I also want to commend the driver. He was great with Joe and so very nice to our family. I'm sure he felt extra pressure driving a child with Joe's issues. We can't thank you enough for what you did for Joe. This is a wonderful boy who spends a lot of time with doctors, in the hospital. This was such a special treat for him. I hope that someone there will let Rusty Wallace know that you are doing his name justice and that he can be very proud of the work done in his name. Again, thank you so very much for making ours and most importantly Joe's day. You are a very special group of people. All the Best, Paula French Indianapolis IN

She was great about answering my million questions leading up to the raceday experience. Safety, social distancing during a pandemic, what to wear, what to expect, how to book. Shonda answered all of these questions and more. It was so nice to meet her in the trailer on a perfectly clear cool autumn morning where she gave us our gear, as we were fitted in a full fire suit and shoes for the day. Next, we met Scott Jasek for a short orientation. He gave a great overview to both the car and the track. Then, it was off to the speedway. Several options and opportunities are available for riding with a race car driver, driving a IndyCar or both. Race car enthusiasts can even have a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride with legend Mario Andretti in the 200 MPH Club which is offered once a year. Next, it was on to the track. Each driver or rider is kept socially distanced and masks are required. At the heart of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, we received our gloves and helmets as we patiently waited for our ride or drive. You are literally standing on the track where the Indy 500 happens.
