Adult karting

Pro-speed gas karts on a combined indoor and outdoor track. Walk in any day of the week — $45 for three six-minute races, all the gear provided.

The karts

Sodi GT5 racing karts

Our adult karts are Sodi GT5s running 6.5 hp gas engines — the same chassis used in rental racing leagues worldwide. The course rewards a clean line over a heavy foot, so it stays challenging for experienced racers and approachable for a first timer.

6 minutes
Per race, 17–25 laps, timed to the thousandth. Time sheets printed or emailed after every heat.
Ages 13+
Fully adjustable seats and pedals, fitting most drivers from 48" to 78" and under 325 lbs.
6.5 hp
Gas engines that pull G’s through the corners and carry speed down the straightaways.

Since 2012

The only locally owned track in the valley

Pioneer Valley Indoor Karting opened in 2012 and is the area’s only locally owned and operated indoor karting track. Our location on Route 5 in West Hatfield serves Western and Central Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and New York.

We’re ten minutes from UMass Amherst, twenty-five from I-91 exit 7 in Springfield and twenty from the Vermont border — and visible from Interstate 91, so there are no lights or traffic to fight. All skill levels welcome. Kids as young as 8 race safely on their own, and parents can run an adult kart in the same heat as their kids — we just ask that you give them the right of way.

Before you come

Questions we get at the counter

Do I need a reservation to race?
No. Adult racing is arrive and drive, first come first served, seven days a week. Call (413) 446-7845 before you leave and we will tell you what the wait looks like.
How much does it cost?
$45 for three six-minute races, including the helmet, head sock and all safety gear. Larger packages bring the per-race price down.
How long is a race?
Six minutes on track. Most drivers get between 17 and 25 laps depending on how comfortable they are, and time sheets are printed or emailed after every heat.
How old do you have to be for an adult kart?
Adult karts are for drivers 13 and up. Younger drivers race junior karts, and the seats and pedals adjust to fit most people.
What should I wear?
Closed-toe, closed-heel shoes that stay on your feet. No sandals or flip-flops. Long hair has to be tied back, and dress in layers because the track runs indoors and out.
Can I race with my kid?
Yes. You will be in an adult kart and your child in a junior kart. Adults in a junior heat give the kids the right of way.
