K1 Speed is a chain of indoor kart racing tracks in the western United States. K1 Speed also markets its own line of automotive and karting race gear called K1 Race Gear.[1]

K1 Speed was co-founded in 2003 by race car driver Boris Said. K1 Speed features European-built electric go karts capable of 40 mph (64 km/h), asphalt tracks, and computerized scoring. Ranging from 70,000 to 100,000 sq ft (6,500 to 9,300 m2) in size, K1 Speed's facilities are the largest indoor tracks on the West Coast.[2][3]

The chain operates tracks in Carlsbad, Irvine, Anaheim, Ontario and Torrance, California and one track in the Seattle, Washington area.[4]
