Unforgettable go-karting thrills in Texas.

In Texas, go-karting is more than just an amusement ride—it is a legitimate motorsport discipline. The state boasts a collection of "bucket list" tracks that attract drivers from all over the country. From racing in the shadow of the Formula 1 tower in Austin to tackling the high-speed sweepers of Dallas Karting Complex, Texas offers pro-level gas karting that few other states can match.

The crown jewel of Texas karting is COTA Karting in Austin. Located at the Circuit of the Americas, this track allows you to race right next to the only purpose-built F1 circuit in the United States. The track runs high-speed gas karts on a technical layout that mimics the challenges of the main Grand Prix circuit next door. In North Texas, Dallas Karting Complex (DKC) in Caddo Mills is the undisputed king. It is one of the largest kart tracks in North America, featuring a 0.8-mile outdoor course that runs Sodi RT8 gas karts capable of 65 mph. It is famous for its "arrive and drive" racing that feels like a professional event, complete with grippy asphalt and aggressive cornering. Just down the road in Fort Worth, Lone Star Kartpark offers a unique thrill located inside the Texas Motor Speedway complex, letting you race where NASCAR legends compete. For Houston, the pro choice is Speedsportz Racing Park in New Caney. Co-owned by karting legend Alan Rudolph, this facility is designed specifically for driver development. It features a dedicated rental track that runs high-speed gas karts, separate from its competition track, ensuring that public racers get a premium surface and well-maintained machinery. Indoor Entertainment: Texas is also a stronghold for Andretti Indoor Karting & Games, with massive multi-level electric tracks in The Colony, Grand Prairie, Katy, and San Antonio. These venues combine high-torque electric racing with bowling, arcades, and dining, setting the standard for premium indoor entertainment.
