K1 Speed runs indoor electric go-kart racing at 100-plus centers, from walk-in Arrive & Drive races to leagues, parties and corporate events, and it started in Carlsbad, California in 2003.
Race prices are set per person and vary by location, and every driver needs an Annual License, about $8.50 at most centers.
Every K1 Speed center runs electric karts and also includes an arcade plus a Paddock Lounge restaurant, and most of those lounges serve beer and wine to guests 21 or older once they are done racing. That setup lets the company present its venues as all-in-one entertainment centers rather than just tracks.
Beyond standard sessions, K1 Speed offers themed evening race formats, a karting academy with one-on-one classes, junior, teen and adult leagues, and a world e-karting championship. Its centers are spread across the United States and Canada as well as Mexico, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and China. The company also sells branded apparel and race gear, runs a franchise program, and publishes race scores and rules for drivers on its site.

Where deals stop
The Myrtle Beach location sits out the promotions, and K1 Circuit is excluded from all K1 Speed deals.
Spectators
Watching from the sidelines is free; only racing costs money.
Most K1 Speed savings are day-of-week specials rather than codes: 3 races plus an annual license for $50 on Mondays, and buy 2 races, get a 3rd free on Tuesdays.
Racers 17 and under can get $19.99 single races.
Specials can't be combined with other offers, discounts or coupons, so pick the single deal that suits your group instead of trying to stack them.
The 10% military and first responder pricing applies to in-store purchases once you show ID at the counter.
None of the promotions apply at Myrtle Beach or K1 Circuit, and group or corporate events are left out.
If your K1 Speed code doesn't work
Exclusions: The Myrtle Beach location does not take part in the promotions, and K1 Circuit is excluded from all K1 Speed deals.
Combining offers: Specials cannot be combined with other offers, discounts or coupons and are not valid for group or corporate events.
Monday is the day to bring a first-timer, since the $50 package folds in the license that would otherwise cost about $8.50 on top of the races.
The food menu has its own specials: $12 large pizzas on Mondays, $9 sliders on Tuesdays, $7 wings or tenders on Wednesdays and $8 appetizers on Thursdays from 5 pm.
Booking a birthday party before Nov 30 adds a $100 arcade game card.
