Race Cars near Manhattan Beach

Looking for recommendations for a business that allows for folks to race cars....not ours but theirs. Years ago there was a business called Malibu Grand Prix in San Diego that was fun but full sized cars would be ideal.

We will be staying near Manhattan Beach, any recommendations?

Yeah, just hit the 405 or I-5 and you'll have all the racing experience you'll ever want...

Porsche driving experience is perfect thanks!

Oh and Houston traffic is not as bad as yours but we don't have the hills to the east with twisties! Long time ago I dated a woman from La Canada , beautiful area.

K1 speed indoor electric go karts... it's gonna be much better than the old Malibu grand prize gokarts.

Agree with K1. These carts are fast and come with what appears to be racing slick type tires. The place even smells like the track with melted tire smell.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
