Supercharged Indoor Karting and Axe Throwing
If you're planning to axe throw, check their schedule for walk-in spots. Some time slots fill up, and it’s better to reserve a spot to avoid disappointment.
Try to book your karting session online in advance! It saves you a bunch of waiting time, especially on weekends when it gets super busy
I suggest wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. You'll want to move easily while karting and it adds safety when throwing axes.
Speed Circuit
I suggest booking your race time in advance online; it saves you from waiting in long lines like I did when I just showed up! Grab a time slot at least a day ahead.
I recommend checking out any first-time racer discount packages. I missed one and ended up spending more for the sessions than I needed to!
I think visiting on a weekday right when they open at 10 AM is the best. You get the track pretty much to yourself and it’s way less crowded compared to weekends.
Go Kart World
I think you should bring your own snacks if you can. The food prices there were kinda steep, and it’s nice to have something to munch on between races.
K1 Speed San Francisco
Don’t forget to wear closed-toe shoes; they require it for safety. I saw a couple of people get turned away, which is such a bummer considering the hype.
After your race, check out the arcade games while your friends finish up. It’s a fun way to keep the energy going and fill the wait time!
Sonoma Raceway
Check the race schedule online before heading out... I missed a key event because I didn't realize there were multiple races in one day and ended up at the wrong spot
Laguna Seca
When you're taking photos, try to find a spot by the Corkscrew. The views are stunning, but get there by noon to snag a good view — I learned that the hard way when it became super crowded later.
I think it’s a good idea to bring a portable chair or blanket to sit on. The grassy areas are great for picnics, but I wished I'd thought about that ahead of time for more comfort during races
Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area
I recommend arriving early, around 8 AM, to snag a good parking spot and beat the crowds. The sunrise over the dunes is stunning too!
Bring plenty of water and snacks because the place is huge and options inside are limited. You don’t want to end up super thirsty!
Metcalf Motorcycle County Park
I suggest bringing your own fuel. There’s nowhere to fill up nearby, so grab extra tanks or a jerry can before you head out. It's a bummer to waste time searching for a gas station!
You might want to pack a cooler with snacks and drinks. The concession stand prices are a bit high, and there’s not much variety.
Imperial Sand Dunes
My advice is to wear sunglasses and a bandana. The sand can be super blinding and gets everywhere! I wish I had done this instead of wiping sand off my face all day
I think it's a good idea to rent your ATVs ahead of time. I waited too long, and by the time I went to find one, they were all booked out for the day. Save yourself the hassle.
I suggest bringing plenty of water and snacks. The heat can really sneak up on you, and buying food on-site can drain your wallet! I spent way too much at the snack stand.
I recommend visiting early in the morning, like 7 AM. The dunes are way less crowded, and the sunrise is stunning! Plus, you can beat the blazing sun later in the day.
Enjoy The Mountain Off Road
I think it's worth spending a few extra bucks on the guided tour. They really know the trails and ensure you have a safe fun experience without getting lost!
