Go-Kart drivers who race at the Canadian Mini Indy Go-Kart Racing track, simply love it and cannot get enough. The thrill of wheel to wheel racing at speeds upwards of 80km/h, have our customers coming back week after week.
Are you unsure if go-kart racing is for you? Go-kart racing at the Canadian Mini Indy is for everyone from the ages of 8 to 75. The Canadian Mini Indy also goes to extra lenghts at every race event to break down drivers into correct age and weight categories, to keep the racing close and fair.
But don't just take our work for it, see what our customers have to say about go-kart racing at the Canadian Mini Indy.
Super organized, well trained staff, even during the pandemic as they made sure you remained safe during time spent. Super fun Go-Karting experience, make sure to join the rookie series as you would not regret it. Being right near the airport, you got to enjoy the view of planes flying low right above your head. Don't forget to bring sunscreen!
If you have ever thought about racing in any capacity, this is a great place to go beyond thinking and start doing. The karts are fast and the speed challenges what you think should be easy. The adrenalin at the end of a first race shows you what is reality and what you can start to accomplish with practice and racing against new and experienced karters. This was my first season racing and I thought it would be so easy, but I was wrong! These karts are not your family weekend puttering around the track type, but really the type that put you in a mind process to advance to the next level if you are so inclined. Just remember that Lewis Hamilton started out in karting and it gives you a better appreciation for the work involved to race these vehicles. I loved the fun and reasonable cost as well as the walkaway factor that is part of the membership and race day fees. You don't have to buy a kart, maintain it or put any fuel in it, just arrive with appropriate race gear and go. Stop thinking about this, do it!!
It was the best experience ever for our little guy!! Our son has never raced here nor seen this track. We did a 2-day race camp last week. Not only was his coach very informative and a lot of hot laps helped improve his time, agility and speed in controlling a full size kart! He was able to participate in their own version of A&D program. 2 heat races (1st random order, 2nd reverse order) and did amazing on the final race. Came home with a 2nd place podium and an experience he will never forget! Thank you Canadian Mini Indy, we will definitely come back.
Having been involved in the sport of Karting for many years, my son and I wanted to try something new this season. That is how we discovered Canadian Mini Indy. After having raced there now for a couple of the Rookie Series races and Special Trophy events (as well as some extra practice lapping), I have been nothing but impressed with the organization and tight ship that is run here. The Customer Service, in person and via email, is absolutely exceptional. The Mechanics take obvious pride in their work which is felt in the excellent and consistent performance of the karts. Safety and fairness is of utmost priority, at all times. And most importantly, you can feel how much the staff loves the sport and cares about the participants they host on the track. As a Mom, I could not ask for more from a service perspective on and off the track and for my son as a driver, his experience has been positive in every way. If anyone is considering to come check it out, I would highly encourage you to make the effort. You won’t regret it.
My son started the arrive and drive program here over the summer and really loved it. Lots of times to come practice and race on the weekdays and weekends. They provide you with everything you need, you just need to show up and have fun!
Really good place to do competitive racing! With European go-karts that go 80 k/ph, it’s really fun. Staff is really nice and the system is setup nicely.
My son attended a two day camp here on July 9-10 2019 that he thoroughly enjoyed. I was especially impressed with the driver coaches and how they handled difficult situations between the the kids in the camp. Great Job and we look forward to returning for upcoming practices, races and next year for camp.
Ladies, you have to try this! What a thrill !! After watching my husband and son for most of the season in Arrive and Drive they encouraged me to give it a whirl at a Friends and Family race day... nervous, but excited to see what all the hullabaloo was about, I was the sole female in my group of experienced drivers. Although my first ever attempt at driving these fast karts, I even made a successful pass ! (Nor did I come in last either lol!) This group of seasoned racers were courteous and shook my hand after the final and asked if I had fun, which I did! I can now really appreciate the thrill my son gets racing karts! Great staff, positive encouragement by all, in a competitive yet friendly environment. Thanks for a great afternoon of racing Canadian Mini Indy!
If you think you're too old (or too fat) to enjoy a night at the track you are so wrong. Lots of great racing with the other older guys and a great organization running the place. After many years enjoying Tuesday nights at the track one of the few regrets of moving out of town is that I am no longer able to experience that adrenaline rush. Try it...they'll make you feel welcome and you won't regret it.
My son started to race in the "arrive and drive" championship in the summer of 2018 and he loved it ...we like that we can be included in a championship and he can have a target to achieve. The karts are way faster than your regular "go-kart" tracks in GTA. The day at the track looks like a f1 weekend compressed in one morning , practice, quali, prerace and final race. There are a lot of kids of his age sharing the same passion... It is our main activity for the weekend ... staff is very nice and helpful to accomodate your skill .... strongly recommended
Easily one of the best competitive karting outfits in Southern Ontario. Having raced multiple events, including a 6 hour enduro here, I feel that their organizational ability, prioritization of safety, marshalling and attention to the maintenance of both karts and facilities is exemplary. WELL worth the drive from the GTA.
Canadian Mini-Indy is THE place to race in Southern Ontario. Trevor Wickens and his team of mechanics do an incredible job of preparing fast karts (including a brand new fleet of cars for 2017) that are a blast to drive in both dry and wet conditions! The marshals keep the events running smoothly, and the safety team is always there to help you out if you have an off-track excursion. Danielle and the front office staff do an incredible job of making you feel welcome, and they speedily answer any questions you have, night and day. After running almost 80 races last year as a rookie, I must say that I found each event to be very fun and competitive, a testimony to the caliber of drivers the facility attracts. Newcomers need not fear -- you'll always find someone of a similar skill level to battle wheel-to-wheel. Kart racing is a family sport, and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the Canadian Mini-Indy is seeing generations of racers out on the track. The facility welcomes everyone -- from 7 to 70+ -- and it's really neat to see kids and their parents suited up and ready to race. The camaraderie of the Canadian Mini-Indy, to me, is one of the best aspects of this facility. I've met so many awesome people at the track -- staff and fellow racers -- and forged many new friendships. Just hanging out in the pits and waiting to hit the track is a fun part of race day. Kudos to the Canadian Mini-Indy for running a wicked track. I'm looking forward to the 2017 season, and I hope to see some new faces out there.
We had the pleasure of enrolling our two grandson's in the 2 Day Race Experience program. They are ages 11 & 13 and had an amazing time. The staff and facilities are top notch and the karts are fast. They learned a lot about kart racing. Excellent safety instructions and explanation of proper procedure etc. before going near the track. All and all a great experience and we highly recommend Canadian Mini Indy.
Very well-run programs for beginners wanting to try karting out, to seasoned drivers who are looking for good advice to up their game. The track gets better every year, and the friendly atmosphere is top-notch. You will not be disappointed!
Best place and great value for your dollar, Everyone from young kids to adults that wish to try out go-kart racing, this is the one place. Best fleet of racing go-karts available anywhere. Knowledgeable and professional staff. If you want to race go karts this is the place.
It was the best experience for my son this summer! He 14 years old, an introverted introvert who speaks fluent' Car and Driver', but had minimal "real" karting experience. His words to me after 20 minutes of Camp... "mom I think I have found my people" :) The head staff hooked us up with the appropriate gear that we could afford and had options to rent the rest! Paying attention to detail walking the fine line between what gear is mandatory vs what is nice to have, at what I think was affordable prices. AMAZING!! Especially for folks just trying it out! A special shout out to the young women and gentleman on staff! They were kind, courteous, and knowledgeable about the subject matter and extremely friendly. The Instructors of the program focused on giving critics of performance in a professional manner , always gearing towards the positive. The organization had exceeded my expectations in all the transactions I have had with them to date. The camp was so well done and beneficial we have signed my son up for Another session in August! The smile on my kids face is worth every single penny.
My son and I have been coming to The Canadian Mini Indy for the Rookie Series for the past 2 seasons and have had a great time. We had no karting experience and all the staff made it very easy to jump right in and have a great time. If you are a bit nervous about the idea of coming of to race all I can say is come out and give it a try, its a great place to come out and meet some people and just have a good time.
Think you're a great driver? Are you sure it's not just your car doing all the work?? Come out and let's see what you've got! The staff and management are true pros who will give you everything you need to have a blast every time. You won't find a better bang for for buck anywhere else. You're always saying to your friends" I could do that, easy". Well... bring it, I'll be waiting.
My boys (age 8 and 10) are huge Formula One fans and were so excited to join the Rookie Karting league. The staff are wonderful. The young men in the pits are so helpful and encouraging. This year has been a wonderful experience for the boys. They have loved every second in the karts.
Great experience at the boot camp. We were on track a lot and the coaching helped a great deal. The carts run well and they are all the same speed so the races are fair. Staff was also good, considering they probably have to explain the same thing for the thousandth time they were enthusiastic and gave good pointers and tips. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend to anyone who is into any type of racing. We did both the junior and the adult campa and they were both equally good.
