Wilmington, MA With one indoor karting center already open in the Plymouth-Kingston area, K1 Speed Boston in Wilmington, becomes the company’s second New England location. The largest karting company in the United States, K1 Speed continues to grow. The new Boston facility brings the total number of K1 Speed facilities to just over 30 – and there are more facilities scheduled to open in the near future.

What makes K1 Speed unique is its commitment to all-electric go-karts. Though competitors have followed, K1 Speed is the industry leader and really brought electric karting into the public consciousness. Opening its first center in Carlsbad, Calif. in 2003, K1 Speed has since expanded its reach throughout the U.S. and even internationally, to cities as far as Mexico City. Now Boston residents will be able to experience the excitement of indoor karting for themselves.

Racing at K1 Speed Boston is available in a variety of formats. Large groups of eight or more can book private events and take advantage of unique race packages, while businesses can book corporate packages, such as team building exercises. For the average customer, K1 Speed offers its most popular race option: the Arrive & Drive package. This option is so-named because it allows people to come in any day of the week, any time of day, and sign up for a race without a reservation. Competitors then line up with up to 12 other racers in 14-lap heats against the clock.

When not racing other competitors around the facility’s indoor track, individuals can take a look at K1 Speed Boston’s extensive collection of authentic racing memorabilia. Video games and pool tables are also available.
