My advice is to dress on the comfy side. I wore jeans and a t-shirt but ended up covered in paint. A quick-change in old clothes would’ve been smarte because it’s messy

I think bringing your own gear can help cut costs, but make sure it's allowed first. Some reviews suggested that renting their gear is better for the first visit since you can try it out.

If you're a newbie like me, don't be shy about asking the staff for tips on how to race better. They were super friendly and gave me some solid pointers that made my experience way more fun.

My advice is to wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. I wore sandals and regretted it — those karts are way faster than I expected, and I ended up with sore feet!

Definitely consider booking online in advance to save a bit on your race fees. I saved a few bucks, and it was nice not to wait in line too long

If you're planning to grab a bite before the game, head to one of the nearby restaurants like Max Downtown—skip the arena food which can be pretty pricey. Trust me, the price difference is huge!

Get your tickets online before going... Some folks I met paid way more for walk-up tickets, and online deals can save you a chunk!

i recommend looking for parking a bit further from the arena—might take a little longer to walk, but you'll save a bundle on fees. plus, the walk's nice!

Check out the merchandise shop of the team before the game. I waited until halftime and found everything sold out! It’s a bummer when you want that sweet jersey after the game.

pack your own snacks and drinks! food at the track can be pricey, and my friend and i spent way too much on just a couple of drinks. bringing your own will save you cash for those cool souvenirs instead!

I suggest arriving at least an hour before the game starts. Parking can get crazy, and you want time to grab some snacks and take in the atmosphere. Plus, the pre-game hype is part of the fun

My advice is to check for deals on tickets online ahead of time. I saved a bit by snagging a discount deal through a local coupon site. It made the experience a little sweeter!
