Go Karting in Nebraska
Indoor and outdoor karting excitement in Nebraska.
Nebraska’s karting landscape is defined by its practicality. In the Omaha metro, the serious racing action happens just across the Missouri River, where indoor gas karts roar year-round. However, the true hidden gem of the state lies in Hastings, where a world-class road course offers a rental program that puts drivers on the same tarmac used by professional touring car series.
For the Omaha area, the premier destination for speed is technically Joe's Karting, located just minutes away in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This facility serves the entire Nebraska metro with indoor gas-powered karts capable of 45 mph. It is widely considered the "home track" for Omaha enthusiasts looking for a competition-style experience rather than an amusement ride.
Inside Omaha proper, The Amazing Pizza Machine dominates the family entertainment market. It features a large indoor electric track ("Grand Spree") that, while geared towards families, offers a fun, slick-track style experience that is surprisingly competitive for groups.
The crown jewel for motorsport fans is Motorsport Park Hastings (MPH) in central Nebraska. Known primarily as a 2.15-mile road course for sports cars, the facility hosts the Ignite Karting series and offers rental opportunities through Klatt Motorsports, an on-site partner. This allows the public to rent Margay racing karts and drive on a professional circuit, a rarity in the Midwest.
In central Nebraska, the Big Apple Fun Center in Kearney serves as the regional hub. It features an indoor track that operates year-round, making it a reliable stop for travelers on I-80 looking to break up the drive with some racing.
Kart Owner Scene: For those with their own karts, Mini E Raceway at Eagle Raceway (near Lincoln) is a major destination. It is a 1/8-mile dirt oval that hosts intense weekly racing on Friday nights, feeding directly into the state's strong sprint car culture.

Go karting in Nebraska - FAQs
Common questions about karting in Nebraska.
The fastest rental karts serving Omaha are at Joe's Karting in Council Bluffs. They run gas-powered karts capable of 45 mph, which is significantly faster than the electric amusement karts found at The Amazing Pizza Machine.
Not directly. Lincoln has Adventure Golf & Raceway (outdoor amusement). For indoor racing, residents typically drive to Joe's Karting (Omaha/Council Bluffs) or west to Big Apple Fun Center in Kearney.
Yes, but it is not a "walk-in" amusement attraction. Rentals are handled by Klatt Motorsports, which is located at the track. They offer rental packages for the Margay Ignite karts, usually for scheduled events or group bookings. You should contact them in advance.
