    Thanks for a great race! Our son, Zach left today for Army Active Duty and we wanted to do something fun just before he left. This was a very amazing experience so thank you Pole Position Raceway for providing our family a place to let off some steam! #GreatMemories.

    Family racing. My husband and kids made fun of my race name, "Speedy". "What, I can't hear you from behind." Bahahaha

    Overall, I was disappointed with my experience at K1 Speed due to repeated instances of karts…read moreslowing down or coming to a complete stop during active racing. This created a safety concern, as it was alarming to come quickly around a corner and encounter a stopped kart on the track--not because of an accident or reckless driving, but due to the kart's power being remotely controlled by staff. Our group was not being rowdy or causing issues, so it was unclear why these interventions were necessary during our race. While we did enjoy the customer service and food, the racing portion of the experience left our entire group dissatisfied. Not having full control of the karts made it difficult to enjoy the race and, at times, felt unsafe. Abruptly slowing down or stopping mid-race left drivers feeling vulnerable and at risk of being hit by others who had no warning. Additionally, these interruptions negatively impacted race results. Several drivers who were leading or in the top three were dropped to much lower positions after their kart slowed or stopped unexpectedly. Because of these issues, we are unlikely to return, despite the otherwise positive aspects of our visit.

    The granddaddy of them all. An amazing dirt track with great facilities and tons of seating…read more Located directly in town which makes for easy supply gathering, but difficult traffic.

    This was my first time to Knoxville for the Sprint Car races!…read more It was 3M sponsored night so this review will not reflect on general seating. We got a parking pass and as soon as we made our way into the parking lot. We got parked easily. We started walking the short walk to the arena. Parking is a little tight along the fence and saw a little fender bender. Good news is there was security close by and there in a heartbeat. We got to bring in our own coolers and drinks. This may be because we had suites way up above the general seating. Third floor up. With the passes we got scanned in to go up the elevator. We walked down the runway and found our suite at the end of turn four. The view is great. There is a fridge, sink and couple different seating areas. Right up against the windows is a row of standard chairs. Directly behind them is a bar like structure and then high rise chairs bump up to that. There is room to stand and another side high top in the back corner. Then there are multiple TVs. The A/C is super nice and there is a speaker you can hear the race announcer. We also got to go back down and check out the provided meal in the nearby rec building. It being 3M sponser night, they provided a full bag of goodies. We enjoyed the provided meal. With that in mind, there is still concessions that you can get some goodies. From the suite you can also call and have food delivered up so you don't miss out on the races. This is the #1 track for Sprint Cars. Drivers from all over the world. There is a museum across the track that tells you all about the history of the historic track. It is good fun for the whole family. We had a good time in the suite. The races were fun to watch. It was scary a couple times with the crashes and luckily no one was that night. I would go again if we were able to get the suite again. I really dont think I would enjoy 5 hours on the hard bleachers. Great stadium. I recommend.
