About All Star Karting Prairie City

All Star Karting offers one of the most authentic driving experiences in Northern California. Located about 20 miles east of Sacramento, the track features something rare for rental facilities: elevation changes. The circuit includes banked corners and undulating hills that challenge a driver's skill much more than a flat warehouse floor. It serves a dual purpose: it is a high-speed rental facility for the public and a competitive home track for the region's serious kart owners. Whether you are driving a rental Sodi kart or a 125cc Shifter, the technical layout provides a serious adrenaline rush.

Detailed guide

The Rental Experience

  • Adult Karts (Sodi RT8): These are high-performance 270cc gas karts capable of speeds up to 45+ mph.
    • Requirement: Drivers must be 16+ years old and at least 60 inches (5'0") tall.
  • Junior Karts: Smaller gas karts designed for younger drivers.
    • Requirement: Drivers must be 8–15 years old and at least 50 inches (4'2") tall.
  • Two-Seater Karts: Ideal for parents with young children.
    • Driver: Must be an adult (18+).
    • Passenger: Must be at least 3 years old (and ~40"+ tall to fit harness).

The Track

  • Layout: The ½-mile course is celebrated for its "Bowl" turn, a banked corner that allows you to carry high speed. The surface is grippy asphalt, and the outdoor setting means track temperature plays a huge role in handling.
  • Owner-Drivers: If you own a kart, All Star offers open practice days (typically weekdays and non-race weekends). You must have full safety gear (suit, neck brace, gloves, Snell helmet).
