Le Mans Karting (Fremont)
Speed Ring (San Jose)
Go Kart Racer (Burlingame)

Go Kart Racer is the best.

You know, I heard Speed Ring was bad too, so I avoided it and went almost exclusively to Go Kart Racer (le mans track just sucks). Then I actually WENT to Speed ring, and I honestly don't see wht people are complaining about. It has a MUCH more technical track then the other two, but I admit I have never been on the "big" track at GKR. Speed ring has probably the least HP in their karts, but you achieve some good speeds on that track layout, and I just love the tricky last turn.

Speed ring I thought was gay and from working at Cal Kart I found out the people that work there are dicks. Lemans the peaple are cool and they support Pocket bike, mini 50's, and RC car races. Go kart racer is a guy name dave from jetpro he is an okay guy but I have never been to his place.

I'll chime in here too..

Le Mans karting - First time I went there they were AWESOME. After that,nothing but problems (even had a wheel fall off). When I spoke to the highered help they agreed that the karts are in bad shape. not to mention, the track layout just sucks.

Speed Ring - I have not had any problems with them at all. I have been there severely times. The staff I had dealt with have been fair and accommodating. The track has high speed and low speed turns and I would say takes some skill to be fast in both sections.

I have not been to Go Kart Racer yet.
