    My first time ever did the electric race car and had a great time. It was actually harder than I thought but willing to try again next time. This place was clean and they have some good selections for food Ave drinks.

    This Deceptive ad means buy TWO get one free on Tuesday's aka buy a race to buy a race and get a race.
    Pat L.

    This business uses deceptive pricing. I recommend you spend your money at business with integrity. The Tuesday promotion, advertised as follows, implies a BOGO promotion. However, YOU MUST PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE RACE TO RECIEVE A FREE RACE. "SAVE on Racing Every Tuesday! You can get two races for the price of one every Tuesday. *Pricing based on two single races." Hidden behind a link it's explained that you get a free race with the purchase of a race AFTER the purchase of a race. AKA buy TWO get one free. Lol. This shows how much respect they have for their patrons. Other deceptive pricing includes the required annual "license" purchase.

    I advise everyone to come and have fun with family or friends to celebrate a birthday. Very nice staff, fast cars. They are electric and there is no exhaust smell. I was incredibly happy!!!!

    I went in around noon for 3 races it was empty so I had a lot of fun and it was good for me cuz I don't want to slow people down or be slowed down I could race at my own speed and get to know the track since I was the only one they gave me lots of tips and tricks on how to best maneuver the course there were all very nice and will absolutely come back again

    Kids had such a blast!

    Andy was so helpful and so nice despite all the crazy little kids running around. Had so much fun here! I love racing, it's sooooo much fun! I love it here I just wish they had ICE cubes, better food, and WIFI! I ordered the paddock burger with fries and the fries were 3/10 - soggy and cold ( I like my fries hot and crunchy) and the burger was whatever - 5/10. It just seems like it's missing something flavor wise!

    Very professionally run electric go-cart racing place. I liked that K-1 took safety very seriously. With very good helmets, excellent lighting for good visibility and instruction on how to drive vehicle. The track itself is large enough to drive the carts to the maximum and still be safe - including spectators. It's all computerized. Including your signup and your speed times displayed on monitors and a print out of your speed trial compared to the other racers. The place is very clean and there's adequate seating for before and after the race to share stories of the epic race. Food is limited so you might want to make plans to eat before or after the race. Expect to pay about $25 per race. Each race includes 12 laps around the track. You are timed for each lap around the track. Your best time around the track determines your standing versus the other riders in your group. Great fun.

    This place is terrible for younger kids. They do not keep their times for the races and you wait forever. I would never come back.

    How much is the cost?

    Hello, Jose! Very sorry for the delay in our response, but you can find our current pricing here: https://www.k1speed.com/thousand-oaks-location/pricing.html . Hope we see you at the track soon (if we haven't already)!

    My son would will be celebrating his 8th birthday, is that an acceptable age for go karts?

    Hello, Ruth! Absolutely! Kids love racing our Junior Karts. These karts are smaller and go a little bit slower than our Adult Karts, but they love the driving experience. For many, it's their very first time behind the wheel of a vehicle that they… Read more

This was our first time, and we skipped the reading materials and just learned as we went, it worked out fine. We arrived on a Sunday around 4:30 PM and it wasn't busy. One thing to note: the Super Track tends to have a much longer wait than the others. Fair warning: there's a lot of exhaust. It's heaviest around the Super Track. While it's noticeable throughout the facility, the waiting areas for the other tracks felt better ventilated. I still felt like I'd chain smoked just by being there. The karts are clearly well used but in good condition. The staff are friendly, young, and clearly into go-karting (I wouldn't be surprised if they take laps themselves on breaks). They're attentive about safety without being so strict that it kills the fun. Overall, a solid four star experience.

    The automatic doors parted before me like the gates to a forbidden arena. My heart pounded--not…read morefrom fear, but from anticipation. The smell hit me first: burning rubber mixed with ozone, a bouquet that spoke of countless battles fought on these very tracks. I approached the counter, signed the waiver with trembling hands. This was it. My initiation into the world of electric velocity. The safety briefing washed over me. Speed limits. Racing lines. Flags. But my mind was already elsewhere, imagining the perfect lap, the flawless execution of every turn. Then I saw it: the kart. Sleek. Silent. Deadly. I lowered myself into the molded seat, gripped the steering wheel. The moment my foot touched the accelerator, everything changed. The instant torque slammed me back into my seat! No engine roar, no warming up--just pure, unadulterated acceleration that felt like being shot from a cannon! The first corner approached rapidly. I braked--perhaps too hard--and felt the rear end slide ever so slightly. My pupils dilated. This was it. This was the dance. Turn two. I remembered the instructor's words. Brake early. Apex late. Accelerate through. My body moved on instinct, finding the rhythm, becoming one with the machine. By lap three, everything crystallized. The track revealed its secrets to me. That slight banking in corner four. The deceptive tightness of the chicane. Each revelation was a flavor explosion on my palate--bitter defeat transformed into sweet victory! Other racers surrounded me. I could feel their presence, their fighting spirit! We weaved through corners in formation, each seeking that perfect line, that extra tenth of a second. When I finally executed a flawless outside pass on the long straight, my entire body surged with electricity! The laps blurred together in a symphony of speed. Left, right, brake, accelerate--a recipe perfected through repetition, each iteration bringing me closer to nirvana. And then, too soon, the checkered flag. My final time flashed on the screen. I stumbled from the kart, legs shaking, heart racing, a massive grin splitting my face. The other racers gathered around the timing board, comparing battle scars and bragging rights. This wasn't just fun. This was transcendent. This was speed distilled to its purest essence, served at precisely the right temperature to ignite the soul! K1 Speed had delivered a five-star experience that left me hungry for more.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    I gave this location (2) stars for the staff when you come in to register (they were helpful and…read morewelcoming) and because of my food (which took a while to order because the girl who took our orders seemed like she was not all there --for lack of better words-- she made the ordering process longer and difficult than it needed to be). The biggest issue was a staff around the track --this (1) girl in particular appeared to be having too much fun slowing certain go-karts down with her red remote, imo. But I'll get back to that in a sec. We decided to eat first: Food was okay-- ordered pepperoni pizza (they almost left it in too long and some of the crust was burnt. Had to break those pieces off and eat around it) and Pepsi in a bottle. My bro got sliders, wings, tots and Pepsi. His food took a while so we couldn't really eat together. Ended up sharing my food while we waited for his to come out -- which was weird since we were the only ones there who had ordered anything. When his food finally arrived he ate some of it and threw the rest away --guess he wasn't impressed. He mentioned it was "decent". Now to the races: Multiple people came and bumped me trying to get past me --never saw her slow their go-carts down but she definitely slowed down me and my bro multiple times when we were the ones getting bumped continuously. It got to the point where I just purposely stayed the last racer just to try and enjoy the experience and made no attempts to move up the ranks. Idk what the men's restroom looked like but the women's restroom had lots of gnats! Paper towels overflowing from the discard. Important to note: For as many staff as they had lollygaging around near the track you would think the place would be spotless. There weren't a whole lot of customer so definitely some staff could've been putting in some time and effort to clean around the place. Ultimately: We paid for (3) races. Ended up only using (2) mutually agreeing it was time to get outta there. Leaving the 3rd race on our accounts for another visit that we will be using at ANOTHER LOCATION. No I don't recommend and doubt I'd be returning. This review is reflective of my visit on 11/7/25 Duration of stay around 2hrs.
