Went here a few days ago and it was fun. We had 5 people in the group that was racing. It's an easy way to kill time and blow some money. There is a bar upstairs for you to have drinks in between races. The track upstairs seems a little smaller then the one down stairs. When you walk in the doors the lines to check in were packed. But you walk in pay then you wait till it's your turn to race. They will Call your group number on the loud speaker that your in before so you have time to get there. The one thing that I liked about this racing is when you hit a car or a bumper on the side they will make sure everything is all good they slow all the cars down with a remote then go check on that driver then by ac touch of a button ask the cars go fast again. Pretty cool thing. One thing the food was okay.

If I could give 3.5 star I would, but I can't so I had to 3 stars unfortunately. My children love go-karting and do it any opportunity they can (usually on vacations or when it's cold outside and we can find an indoor track). We finally decided to go to overdrive (the prices really made us debate it for awhile). While we still feel the prices are a bit high for what you're getting, it's still fun. The wait times are incredibly long (came on a Saturday) in between races as well. An hour in between each race makes it really hard to do the package deal that saves you money. The only consolation is that they allow you to use your races on another day (for the package deals) if you're unable to use them all up the day you come. The person running the races stopped the races seriously no less than 10 times while they did their 8 laps. It was hard for them to get momentum. We will be back to use our other races we were unable to use due to scheduling issues, and will update the review again if anything changes.

Joshua loving Overdrive racing! He couldn't tolerate a helmet so they put a slow speed restriction on for us.

Our family had an incredible time at Overdrive thanks to James! He set up special time for our disabled son to be able to ride in the Duo Kart (a side by side Kart) with me and race against his sister and nurse. At our request he was able to restrict the speed to a slow safe speed to accommodate our son (who could not tolerate a helmet due to his special needs). Thank you Overdrive for making the extra effort to include disabled community members in the racing as well as typical racers! **Photo note: slow speed restriction on karts allowed no helmet driving to accommodate special needs racer**

My b/f did the track upstairs and said it was intense yet fun. I liked the layout and the fact the there was entertainment for those, regardless of whether or not you chose to do either of the tracks. Definitely worth a visit.

Great raceway, fun atmosphere but a little disappointed that the bar doesn't open until 4pm. The food was lacking in flavor and quality. Of course - this isn't the place you go for food. The tracks were nice but my nephews car broke down several times. So his race time could have been better if the equipment had not Failed. All In all we had a great time but perhaps Monday afternoon isn't the best time to tackle this adventure.

Don't break the rules!

We love this place and the owner and staff are really top notch. It can get busy, but it makes me happy to see a local business succeed. The upstairs bar and pool table is a fun place for adults to just relax and the two tracks offer a lot of options. We saw all the employees focus on safety before and during the races and everyone had a great time!

This place is AWESOME!!! We took our daughter here for some quality time and fun, and we sure did have a blast. We each opted for the 3 Pack of Races on the Agility track, our daughter is not 16 so we were unable to go on the Speed Track with her. The 3 pack is a good deal considering one race sets you back $22, and if you go for the 3 Pack you save a few dollars at $59 (And you get a free drink and a slice of pizza). Seriously it is really hard to do just one race, especially if you have never been. Our daughter is tall enough to do the adult races which was great because they have different Go-Karts for the smaller kids, and this way we were all able to race together. These Go-Karts are FAST!!! They are also a bit hard to steer, it definitely takes some getting use to and you have to use some muscle for sure. The agility track has a few hair pin turns that can be difficult, but overall the course is a lot of fun. Our daughter whooped us on the first race, she was a natural. We were able to get in on the next race fairly quickly. Each time there were only a couple of races between our races. We got there before 6PM on a Saturday and it was not horribly busy so we must of lucked out. Though by the time we left it was fairly busy. The upstairs had the Speed track, these races are a couple of dollars more than down stairs. There is a full bar and a pool table up there too, and a bit more adult oriented with a DJ and club vibe going. I really want to come back and try this track, my husband and I plan on doing a date night here. Also apparently you can drink and drive, obviously not at the same time though and there are rules so if you break em they will kick ya off the course (So don't go getting all crazy on the juice, if ya know what I mean).

These go carts are not slow putters!

It's a fun place, and staff is friendly. The races are overpriced is the only downside that I saw. My kids enjoy it, so we will go back.

This was a fun time & an easy to plan event! To make a reservation you need at least eight racers…read more (Spectators can come & watch, no charge.) We had ten racers & a group of spectators. Each racer got two 12 lap races, food & drink, one hour reserved seating, arcade tokens & top finishers got medals - plus all racers got to race together with a reserved time. The price was about $80 per racer. We paid separately for additional food for spectators. These go carts are electric, so no smell & pretty quiet. A few things to note, racers need to be at least 48 inches tall & if you have more than twelve racers you then split into two groups. Also, K1 has an Arrive & Drive option for just racing, it's first come first serve. The day we went was for a birthday. After checking in racers registered & signed waivers after which they got balaclavas & helmets. Instructions were given but it was rather hard to hear. Our racers had a blast...they loved it - it was a great experience. Right after racing our lunch was ready, it was served buffet style. We choose Cheese & Pepperoni Pizzas, BBQ & Buffalo Chicken Wings & soft drinks. There were no salad or vegan options. The pizza was good, however the wings were even better & delicious. Since we were a big group we had a private party room. The only outside food allowed was dessert. Our party ran smoothly, the staff was friendly & very helpful. All in all a great time!

Such a place to wind down from the weekend. My godson rather enjoyed it as did the other racers…read more Like everything else it's a bit pricey. Something to do in nice in a while but for me not a frequent adventure. The staff was nice and helpful and knowledgeable. They also give military discounts. As far as pricing I would think they would give junior drivers at a cheaper rate.

After finishing lunch, we did a quick search for something fun to do nearby and stumbled across F1…read moreArcade. We walked in with absolutely no idea what to expect, and I'm so glad we decided to give it a try! The racing simulators are incredibly immersive, allowing you to compete head-to-head against everyone in your group. If you've never done anything like this before, don't worry, the attendants do a great job explaining everything, and the simulator walks you through the controls before the race begins. It was easy to pick up and an absolute blast. The venue also has a bar-and-restaurant atmosphere, so you can grab drinks or a bite to eat before or after racing. Just keep in mind you can't eat while you're actively racing, so it's best to plan accordingly. Another nice bonus is that F1 Arcade offers a military discount, which we always appreciate seeing. Whether you're a racing fan or just looking for something different to do with friends or family, F1 Arcade is a fantastic experience. We walked in with zero expectations and left talking about when we could come back. Definitely one of the highlights of our day!

It's a cool…read moregame and all (I mostly sucked at it, lol), and it lets you choose different levels, which definitely impacts the game you're playing. But there are no other games. It's very expensive to play the games. I was at a group event, so I didn't have to, but I would not go back and play a $10 per race car game that's only a couple minutes long each. The minimum is about a $50 charge, you can't go alone/have to have at least 2 people, and online it says that's 5 games & also says that's 45 mins. There's also a lull reload time in between games, so you're also paying for that time not racing and just waiting. They do have a happy hour, so that's cool. I wonder if they get busy for that, but it is only M-F from 3-6. There is currently beer, wine, and a couple of cocktails for $5 - $8 and a few snacky food items for $8. I guess they'll always have the restaurant and corporate packages, if that's enough business. As a regular person, it's a pretty expensive night out between the game package price, food, drinks. They even have some cocktails priced at $23+, come on, people! Why don't we just charge $50 a drink? I don't know how people are affording to go out at the full prices anymore. I'd def hit it up for happy hour again, but that would be it for me.

That being said, quite a few of the rides and games were clearly broken down and hadn't been touched in years. It's kind of sad that no one is putting any love into this place, and hasn't in a long time. But, it's clearly very popular! We paid $5 to walk around, which is absolutely worth it for the nostalgia. You have the option to pay for unlimited rides or you can buy individual tickets for the rides you want. Since most of the rides would have made me vomit at this age, I was happy to pay $2.50 for a train ride around the lake. Jerry, the guy running the train, was fantastic! He really seems to love his job and his enthusiasm is contagious. I did think it was odd that on the list of rules as you line up to pay, it says no photos are allowed. BIZARRE. I guess they don't want any photos getting out of a ride that's about to break down? Clearly people were ignoring it, as who doesn't want photos of your kids having a blast on the rides! I have mixed feelings about this place. CLEARLY, people love the nostalgia. What bothers me is the lack of love behind it.
