Go Karting in New York

Unforgettable go-karting thrills in New York.

New York offers two distinct karting worlds. Downstate, near New York City and Long Island, you will find high-tech indoor facilities designed for all-weather urban racing. Upstate, the focus shifts to pure motorsport, with outdoor asphalt tracks that have trained generations of professional drivers.

For those on Long Island, RPM Raceway (Farmingdale) is the premier destination. This massive indoor facility features two quarter-mile tracks that can be combined into a single "MegaTrack" for special events. It runs a fleet of Italian electric karts capable of 45mph, providing a clean, fume-free experience that is perfect for the local climate. In the Westchester and Rockland suburbs, the landscape has recently shifted. The two major players have been brought under the K1 Speed banner:
  • Mount Kisco: Formerly known as Grand Prix New York, this massive entertainment complex now operates as a K1 Speed location, offering premier indoor electric racing alongside bowling and arcades.
  • West Nyack: Located inside the Palisades Center Mall, this track (formerly Autobahn Indoor Speedway) is now K1 Speed. It is arguably the most accessible track for city residents, located right off the Thruway.
For purists seeking Outdoor Petrol Racing, you must head north. Oakland Valley Race Park (OVRP) in Cuddebackville is a legendary 0.5-mile outdoor circuit. It is a "driver's track" with elevation changes and a high-speed straight, running gas-powered karts that offer the visceral feel of real racing. Further central, LaFayette Motorsports Park (near Syracuse) serves the upstate community with a reconfigurable asphalt road course.
