The Canadian Mini Indy offers racing leagues for kids beginning at ages 8, with teen and adult leagues as well.
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.
Well I've been racing here since 2008. Canadian mini indy is by far the beat place for karting. Nice big track with multiple configurations to keep things interesting. A great fleet of karts. Top notch staff on track or in the pits to keep the day going smooth. Doesnt matter your skill level it's fun for all. There is always someone willing to help. It's great fun for all ages. Danielle and Trevor definitely have a well oiled machine at the Canadian mini indy. Thanks for another great season.
As a Motorsports fan looking for an affordable way to feel the thrill of racing I am so glad for having found this place. I raced the full 2021 season there and had such a great time. The go karts are quick and put a smile on my face. The mechanics do an amazing job keeping the go karts in good shape. Some are slightly quicker than others but it evens out down the season as I literally raced them all. The track is fun and can be changed into many different configurations. The staff do a great job following safety rules and maintaining sportsmanship without taking the fun away. I have met lots of people there who have the same passion for racing with age that goes from 8 to 75! The atmosphere is great, family oriented. I am looking forward to the 2022 season.
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!!
