K1 Speed

K1 Speed Boston is an indoor go-kart racing center in Wilmington, part of K1 Speed, which calls itself America’s largest karting company. The 58,000-square-foot facility has two road course-style tracks with adult and junior electric karts, plus live scoring on a giant scoreboard and printable individual race results. It hosts family outings, kids’ birthday parties, corporate events and team-building exercises, and racers of all ages can drive any day of the week.

Off the track, an arcade offers classic and current video games, shooters, air hockey and prize games. The Paddock Lounge restaurant serves food and drinks, and authentic racing memorabilia on display gives the space a museum-like feel. A 10,000-square-foot main lobby overlooks the racing, with nightclub-style lighting and audio and 17 TVs showing race times and satellite channels. Drivers can also join karting leagues such as the Challenge GP.
