How to Make the Most of Your Race Time
When it comes to group event ideas, people love the experience of go kart racing. To make the most of your race time, there are some tips to keep in mind.
Preparing for Your Visit
Before you hit the track, there are some things you can do to prepare. If you’ve never driven a go kart before, or it’s been a while since your last race, spend a little time researching what to expect and how go karts work. You’ll be able to go into the driving experience with some basic knowledge that will help you make the most of your racing experience.
You can also save yourself time at the track by completing your waiver in advance. At Tampa Bay Grand Prix, you can download the waiver form from our website, complete it, and bring it with you on the day of your race.
What to Wear
It’s important to pick the right clothing to wear while you race. You want to find the balance between being comfortable and not wearing anything too baggy that could get caught on something. Keeping it simple with jeans and a t-shirt is always a good choice, and you’ll want to be sure to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. It’s also typically better to wear lighter clothing, as you’ll heat up once your adrenaline kicks in!
When it comes to footwear, sneakers are an ideal choice. You won’t be allowed to race in any open-toed shoes or heels in order to ensure your safety.
If you have long hair, it’s a good idea to tie it back so it’s out of the way. Keep in mind that you’ll also be given a helmet to wear, so you’ll want to make sure your hair is back in a comfortable style.
When it comes to accessories like jewelry, it’s typically better not to wear any beloved pieces or larger jewelry so that you don’t have to worry about them coming off or getting lost.
During the Race
During the race, it’s important to follow all of our safety guidelines so you can enjoy the friendly competition without worry. Remember that go kart racing might be more physically demanding than you expect, so it’s important to listen to the attendants so you know what to do. They will explain everything from where to place your feet to how to accelerate and more.
Once you enter the go kart, make sure you’re sitting comfortably and properly buckled in. Once you start driving, aim for a smooth ride and keep some distance from the other drivers so everyone can stay safe and have fun.
Before You Leave
When the race is over, make sure to take a group picture and share it on social media, tagging everyone in your group! You can also check in on the Tampa Bay Grand Prix Facebook page to share the experience with others. And if you’ve enjoyed your experience with us, please leave a review!
