- Stephanie F3 contributionsOutstanding EmployeeMy son LOVES this place. Always a fun time. Tonight: there is a blond headed attendant running from one side to the other to take care of both sides of the race track!!! He is on time. He is AMAZING!! He should be recognized for his hard work on a Friday evening. This place is busy on both sides of the track!! Remembering all safety checks and talking with everyone in between the races. Outstanding employee!!!Thank you for taking the time to review us, Stephanie! We are ecstatic to hear that our staff went above and beyond to make your family's visit with us even better.

- Lexi G1 contribution10/10 best cart racing around! We loved TERRY!We had a group of 14 show up last minute and all the staff worked with us and found us the best package deal that suited our group. We had the best time from all ages ranging from teen to seniors. Terry certainly enhanced our experience! He was friendly, funny, and kept us all smiling. He was working hard and making sure everyone had fun and stayed safe at the same time. We had a blast and this is by far best and fastest go carts in the area. Great for large groups! We will be back!Thank you for taking the time to review us, Lexi! We are ecstatic to hear that our guides went above and beyond to make your experience feel both exciting and safe for the whole group.

- HoustontravelinDaveHouston, Texas104 contributionsFast and funWe came to verify the claim of being the fastest go-karts in Pigeon Forge. They are pretty fast with some of them tuned a little better than others in the fleet. The track is competitive with several opportunities to draft or set up a nice pass. The attendants were professional and helped us in our family race challenge. We did the 5 race package and that’s a lot of racing…….you will feel it later. They run the track in both directions by alternating between rounds and that adds to the fun because it changes the lines for passing. Good value and great family fun.Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, David. We are delighted to hear about your family's wonderful experience! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.Written June 4, 2024This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 3, 2024

RIPOFF and absolute waste of money. Paid $30 for a 12 minute race. My brother and nephews all paid $50 for 5- 12 minute races. Apparently different workers mark the receipt however they choose. Maybe you will get lucky maybe you won't. Who knows but I will never spend another penny there. Had I known the races were only 6 minutes I would not have raced at all.

First I will start by saying the Go-Karts are fast and ride nicely, the track is big.
However, like most places in this area if you are concerned about Covid 19 then stay away. The irony is they have signs stating you "must" wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart. The problem is noone enforces this and the employees themselves rarely wear them (I only saw one person with one). So what is the point? They have plexiglass dividers at the counter yet they don't use them, they speak to you maskless off to the side. I had one of the guys tell me to get closer cause he couldn't hear me..yes, I'm wearing a mask, if you go behind the plexiglass then I could speak closer.
The lines are allowed to get packed with no spacing so everyone is on top of each other and most people don't wear masks. This place is disgusting and a health hazard. Whatever beliefs you have is all good but don't be selfish and don't put the customers safety at risk. You could make this place enjoyable during these times with just a few simple policies.
Besides the obvious health hazards the place is very disorganized. We were there for 2 hours to ride just two tracks, the system is very inefficient and you get to spend it in line with several of your maskless stranger friends talking and breathing over you up close and personal.
If this doesn't bother or worry you then go for it, you will have fun. However this was not worth it to my family and I and was a pretty uncomfortable experience.

This track is nothing like the pictures. Paid over $90 for only 3 of us, a acting to do some performance race style. Every picture shows helmets, and describes xtreme racing. Yes the carts are probably faster than normal go carts, but there was no helmets, nothing special. We got 2 races each. Totally not worth it. Don't waste your money

They only get one star because there was no way to give them negative Stars they manage their customers time like it has no value. From what I observed they pick the dumbest possible route and take that at every decision area. Terrible management or no management either would be accurate. Save your time save your money spend it somewhere else they suck. For what they charge you get nothing or worse.

It’s my first time to be in Smoky Mountain and the most enjoyable place that I have found is Dubby’s Xtreme Racing. Customer service is beyond good and if someone has a concern about the Corona- Coved 19 virus this place is providing all the cleaning supplies from hand sanitizers, cleaning wipes and clean place. Special thanks to Alxis Blaid for their brilliant service.
Thanks guys 👍🏻

Carts are fast but lacking quality. Mine vibrated and shook at the top of the first hill on every lap as though it was going to raise up or try and turn over. It says ‘No Bumping’ but it still happens. My daughter’s cart had to be pushed up the hill on the second lap.
It was $37 for three people to do one race on the regular track. The one race lasted about ten minutes. Not worth the price in our opinion.

I didn’t realize this was so popular. So much so that it was seen on ESPN. The lines were long and it is busy but I understand why. I didn’t have the guts to ride, but probably 10 of my family members did. The cars go fast. They say like 30 or 40 mph. My family’s group were all competitive. They were bumpin’ each other trying to win at those high speeds......I was scared watching. It lived up to the name- EXTREME. I want to bring my daughter back here.

Collins Hill was so personable and professional!! He explained all the packages thoroughly and enthusiastically. Unfortunately our son only wanted to do a round of go karting and head back to the cabin for swimming since we just got in from a 7 hr drive. Collins was gracious enough to give us a free pass good for my husband and son to ride and we were blown away by how hospitable Collins was. Next time we will be buying the packages and visiting this place again. FUN, clean environment i would recommend for everyone!

Had the whole family up for vacation and made a stop by here for the Grand Prix package. The guys running the place were awesome and seemed to enjoy being there. Joe went above and beyond to make sure we had fun and knew he appreciated our business. The course is awesome and my family's spirit of competition made it a blast. My advice would be to watch the carts race before you get on the track so you know what cars are running fast! i got caught in a slow one the second race but still had fun! Well worth the time and money.

This guy named Brandon was maybe the nicest guy I have ever met. My sister hit her eye on the steering wheel and he ran right over and stopped everyone and made sure she was ok. Later on the day he talked to her and made her day so much happier and they were waving their hands back and forth and making my sister laugh. He then let us race for free and allowed us to race longer since we were the last ones there. And every single time someone wrecked even on the other tracks he would sprint and make sure they were safe. All the staff was amazing but especially Brandon.

Can the park hopper bands be used by more than 1 person?

Not sure of the actual rules, but we were gifted 2 bands that had 3 tabs left on them and didn't have a problem using them.
