    Octane Raceway is huge, and on a Wednesday afternoon it was surprisingly quiet—no lines and plenty of track time. We did the junior go-kart race, and I was the only adult with three juniors. I had a blast lapping them, but they didn’t enjoy losing nearly as much. The best part was two junior racers bumping each other and spinning out like a budget Fast & Furious scene. Fun place overall—just maybe take it easy if you want the kids to have fun too. 😄

    Extremely dangerous, was t-boned knee hit the steering wheel and can barely walk on my left leg. Will be contacting management and discussing this with an injury lawyer. Cars aren't maintained and clearly shown damage with no instructions by staff and when asked constantly met with rude responses and yelling can't you understand.

    Pretty decent and safe circuit. Good carts. There needs to be a complimentary locker service for participants. The locker needs 25 Cents coin and no one has it these days. The kids managing the race need to give better instructions and pull out errant drivers early. Otherwise good and safe family outing with junior and senior times available.

    Brutal online booking. Booked 25 people in one race and wouldn’t refund as we are strapped for time and couldn’t make the race they rebooked for. Do not recommend there is better options around here. I would give it 0 stars if I could

    My family and I started a Christmas tradition to visit a place we have never been. We chose Phoenix, Arizona. The first attraction that we visited was here at Octane Raceway. The manager Matt was amazing. He told us all about the races and their sister attraction next door. He and Sophia at the front desk were extremely helpful not only in planning our day which included races VR experiences, and Maverick but also things that we could do while completing our visit in Phoenix. He followed up with us throughout the day to ask us how we were enjoying our time. We had such a ball. Everyone was amazing and efficient. The atmosphere was comfy, welcoming and very family friendly. This is a must experience visit for sure. I have a brother who recently moved here and we will definitely be back!
