I've come to this location every time I'm in Phoenix, however each time I have not gotten to race due to a large group party or event where the estimated wait time is over 2 hours. The prices are competitive, but that's about the only pro I can think of. There's usually only a couple attendants at the front desk... More

We raced last Saturday with our relatives while we visited in Phoenix. We were first time drivers with our sons (ages 9 and 11) and we LOVED it. We raced on track 1 at 2 PM, after waiting about an hour (not bad for a Saturday afternoon I suppose). They allowed only 3 adults and 5 kids on the track... More

This is a great raceway, with excellent go-karts and a good arcade. Recommend you keep your kids on the Jr. track - my 14 yr old son moved up to the 45 MPH Sr. track and crashed pretty hard against the wall, which ended his racing for the night.

I recently visited Octane Raceway with some friends from out of town and was shocked that I never been here before! There was about a 30 minute wait but we were able to watch the races and ask the staff for tips on how to be faster. The staff was very friendly and were able to answer the million and... More

I could have had some fun if it hadn't been completely ruined by 3 young guys that kept bumping and slamming me. The marshals would not take them off the track like they say they would When I complained to the track manager he said he was sorry and offered me a free lap but that was not the point.... More

This was the best. The cars are fast and the curves are hairpin. Loved it. They supply helmets and even racing overalls.

I took my 10 and 12 year old grandsons to the Junior Kart Driving school. They loved it. They have driven go-karts at the beach but these are fast and fun. The class had only 6 students and they received good instruction on track and kart safety, how to take corners and then they had qualifying track time and a... More

If you are looking for an adrenalin rush, this is the place to go! I wouldn't recommend for smaller children, but for teenagers and adults for sure! Facility has many other things to do such as an arcade, rock climbing, etc. Food and beverages as well.

Great fun for our sons! The go carts are fast and the track was very challenging. For new participants it would be nice to race against riders of the same experience. We went on a Sunday night and all the 40 plus year old Kyle Busch wanna bees who think they are trying out to compete in NASCAR next week... More
