Honestly, I'm not sure how Turn 2 Racing doesn't have over 1,000 reviews with all 5 stars. My…read moreboyfriend and I stopped by on a sunday morning so he could try the racing simulators and we were immediately greeted and helped! The store is run by a dad and his son, and it came to fruition as their hobby. Both the father and the son are super passionate about racing and simulation racing, and it clearly shows in the heartwarming enthusiasm and dedication they show to making sure you have an enjoyable experience. The price is great too! $20 for 20 mins on the formula 1 racing car and the 60"screen car. The price drops to $15 for 20 mins for the two smaller sim cars! We were in line behind a group of racers from Sonoma, and the father happily explained that the racers were frequent customers, and that they actually race on the racetrack they were simulation racing on in real life. Once it was my boyfriends turn, they strapped him in and explained that the simulation racing had full motion and impact. Halfway through my boyfriend's turn, the father/son duo noticed that the motor wasn't adjusting properly and paused the game so that they could fix it. They even ended up letting my boyfriend finish a few extra laps! They could have easily not told us, and we wouldn't have noticed, but it really illustrates how kind and honest they are, and that this really is their passion! My boyfriend enjoyed it so much, and cannot stop talking about it. We will definitely be back, and he's hoping to place in the top20 for the timeattack next time!

My husband loves racing, formula 1, and karting so this was an amazing experience for him!…read more There are 4 professional racing simulators, 1 with full motion and another with formula 1 motion. My husband tried both of the motion simulators and enjoyed the full motion the most. The staff was very friendly and helpful! They adjusted his settings so that he would have the best racing experience. He even had the chance to race other racers there in real time, and I was able to watch the race from an exterior cam view. We also thought the price was great at $20/20 min! Check out their instagram and website for more info and videos. We will definitely be there often.

This review is going to be very similar to the one I recently posted on an associated business of…read moreTAK, Karting Concepts. Full Disclaimer, but read my review. The owner is a friend, but keep reading to find out why. The owner of Karting Concepts is very passionate about kart racing and his local club tracks in Davis ( BlueMax Kart Club ) and Folsom ( Prairie City SVRA - All Star Karting ). I've known him since 2013 in which he started a business relationship with the company that I work for. I'm used to getting sales pitches and other non-creative marketing tossed my direction from the racing circles, but Patrick was different. He urged me to come back out to the local track, Blue Max Kart Club and to try club racing again, with a Briggs and Stratton 206 powered kart. At first I had no interest because, "I'm a shifter guy!!!". I've been around karting since 1995, and my smiles come from driving a shifter kart, so a lawn mower engine package had no appeal to me. Patrick kept working on me to come out and give it a try. After about a year, I finally headed out to BlueMax for a club race and the class I entered had about 30 kart on the track. This shifter guy had a huge smile on his face, not because the karts are super fast like a shifter, but because the racing was intense and close. After I got out, I became an ambassador for the Briggs LO206 platform because it was a great start up package for all kart racers. I enjoyed a large field, close racing, and once I bought my own equipment, relatively affordable (by motorsports standards) cost to hit the track. Now over the years, Patrick and I have become friends. He has a real passion for the sport of karting, as do I. He is honest with people and he puts others first. If the world had more people with his temperament and personality, it would be a much better place. He has participated at all levels in the karting business. He had offered rental programs do introduce new people to the sport. He runs a side business to retail karts and parts. He has traveled to big national karting events to support customers. He has spent countless hours building the local kart club and growing membership numbers. Do I need to go on?

Wednesday is half priced bar drinks, and while their prices are already low, the Wednesday deal is a steal! We ordered several classes of chardonnay, beer, a few shots of tequila, the burger sliders and wings. For a Wednesday night, it is pretty dead, which meant we had the arcade to ourselves and a very attentive waiter. Every round of drinks came out fast, and our food did not take much longer than that. The burger sliders were just that, sliders, but the sauced and dry rubbed wings were great! The rest of our party ordered the pretzel board, pizza, and more wings, which were seemingly good. Our waiter did mention they are revamping their menu, so stay tuned for potential changes in their food offerings.

My friend wanted to play Duckpin bowling, but it was $35 an hour for up to 6 people. Lucky we asked the bartender if we could pay for it at the bar and she talked to the bar manager and he said sure! It's only $3 a game per person! Now we're talking! We had 4 people and one game each was perfect for $12. You don't need bowling shoes, there is barely an approach. It was super fun! They had many specials such as street tacos $3, Modelo draft beer $4 and Margaritas $5. We had the Supreme flatbread for $14 and it was good. My Friend ordered the charcuterie board for $24. I really loved the sausage and the display was presented in a giant pretzel. I love the couches for trivia so nice and comfortable! The staff preferred not to have a photo so I respected their wishes. The building is huge with no one In it, which makes me sad! We will definitely be back for trivia and hopefully Duckpin bowling will be $3 a game again! If you're looking for a fun place for the family look no further this is the place for you!!!

I will concur the other review on the 2024 LTM. This race was supremely disorganized. It started…read morewith long, rambling emails from the organizer that jumbled all of the weekend's events into a single bulleted list. (The website/social media pages were equally chaotic: broken/missing links, inconsistent info, and partial course maps abound.) This was charming at first, but became super frustrating as the weekend imploded and accurate info was harder to come by. I figured this just meant the organizer isn't big on tech, but then he failed to get his permits submitted on time for two of the weekend's three marathons. That's kind of your ONE JOB as a race organizer. Instead of taking responsibility, he railed Caltrans for not honoring the race path he'd used for the last 28 years (again: his responsibility, not theirs). Saturday's race was cancelled entirely (with email glitches preventing participants from learning about this until 11:45 on Friday) and Sunday's was rerouted as a series of out-and-backs on SLT's less scenic public sidewalks, neighborhoods, and bikeways. To make matters worse, there were no bathrooms on the course (just a few at the start line to be shared by all participants), no proper race fuel at the aid stations (the volunteers were fantastic, though; I don't blame them!), and a couple of fee-only refreshments at the finish line (spare a bowl of pretzels and a booth with sugar-free NA beer from a sponor). I suspect the quality of the race has decreased over time. If this year was a fluke, then I'd love for the organizer to take ownership of that and make amends for those of us who spent a ton of resources for what turned out to a pretty crummy race experience.

Signed up to run the Emerald Bay Half Marathon on Sunday, October 20. 2 days before the race,…read moreFriday night, the race director announces via email that the race course is canceled because he did not get permits approved from Caltrans. The race was "rerouted" through neighborhoods in South Lake Tahoe. Not at all the scenic route we expected and paid for. The RD offered a refund or rollover to next year, but after training for the last 9 months to run this, quitting or waiting was not an option. Beyond frustrated with the lack of information provided and the original course being ripped out from under us at the last minute. Do not recommend this experience to anyone.
