Racing Requirements & Rules
While everybody is here to have fun, safety is our number 1 priority! We have rules and regulations that racers must abide by. You will be briefed before you get onto the track but we like to reinforce our rules before our drivers arrive.
Requirements for All Drivers
- Drivers must wear close-toed shoes. No high heels.
- All drivers must be able to operate the karts safely.
- Proper helmets must be worn while on the track at all times. We provide drivers with the proper helmets, no other safety gear is required. Visors must stay down on helmets at all times while on the track.
- Every racer must create an account with us and sign a waiver. If the racer is under the age of 18 years old, a parent or guardian over the age of 21 must be present to sign the waiver for them in person. If we did not require a parent/guardian in person we would have 15 – to 17-year-olds signing forms in the parking lot every day and there is no way for us to discern between those forms and ones signed by parents other than in person.
- Waivers are legal documents and if you lie about your child’s age so that they can get in the adult karts it is insurance fraud. So, please do not lie or ask us to lie for you. Experience tells us that the vast majority of teens that are not, at least, 16 years of age are not ready to race in adult races.
Management reserves the right to determine if someone is not able to control the kart safely.
Junior Racer Requirements
- Must be a minimum of 6 years old and 50" tall
- If your child is between the 48"-52" mark, we recommend bringing your child in to get seated in a kart to see if they can safely reach the pedals. We do not have double-seater karts, so every racer must drive their own kart. Some kids have longer legs, and some kids are longer torsos. So just because they may be 50-52" tall, they may still be able to not reach the pedals safely. It is up to our discretion to allow kids to race or not due to safety and height.
- Racers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian present to sign the release liability form in person.
- All racers must be able to operate the karts safely.
- All Junior racers are required to wear a provided neck brace.
- Junior races run at approximately 25 mph and are 8 laps on our ¼ mile track.
Management reserves the right to determine if someone is not the proper size or able to control the kart safely.
Teen & Adult Racer Requirements
- Must be a minimum of 14 years old and 56" tall
- Racers under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian over the age of 21 present to sign the release liability form in person.
- All racers must be able to operate the karts safely.
- Weight limit of 300 pounds.
- Racers between the ages of 14 - 15 race at approximately 35 mph and travel 10 laps on our ¼ mile track.
- Racers 16+ years of age race at approximately 45 mph and travel 12 laps on our ¼ mile track.

ALCOHOL/DRUG POLICY:
Alcohol may NOT be consumed prior to racing. Races will be forfeited, without refund, if we have observed alcohol consumption in the parking lot or on our premise, prior to racing, or if a Manager on duty suspects consumption or intoxication from alcohol prior to arriving at our facility. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase post-racing. The aim of this policy is to ensure the safety of all guests, visitors and employees. Victory Raceway has a strict, zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol and/or drug use during or before racing. Anyone who appears to be under the influence will not be permitted to race. Management has the right to remove anybody from a race if they are deemed to be unsafe to themselves or others. We do not give refunds for reckless driving.
Rules:
All new riders will receive a mandatory briefing session on indoor kart racing safety and regulations. Please remember that indoor Karting is real racing and not just an amusement ride. Accidents can happen if you do not follow the rules or pay attention to flags. We cannot emphasize enough that indoor kart racing is a non-contact sport. We do not tolerate any bumping or blocking of go karts. If you are unable to pass a kart, there is no excuse for contact. If at any time during the race a kart goes under the barriers, or karts are stacked on top of each other those racers will be removed from the race without a refund. Accident's like these are avoidable with the info that is provided before racing by our Race Directors. At any time during a race if there is a severe enough wreck deemed by our Race Controller, that kart and driver will be removed with no refund. Safe driving is key, and it is up to you as the driver to be safe out there. Victory Raceway has a strict, zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol and/or drug use during or before racing.
