Frequently Asked Questions.

1How Old Must You Be To Race At GRGP?
We do not have kids karts or double karts. At GRGP all racers must be 15 years of age, at least 54” tall and ready to race with closed toe shoes. ALL NEW DRIVERS MUST have proof of driver's license/permit or valid id showing proof of age.
2How Long Is A Race?
We run a race every 10 minutes you are on the track for 6-6 ½ minutes.
3Can I Book a Reservation for just Racing?
No, we only do reservations that include racing/food/room. If you want just racing it is walk-in only on a first come first serve basis. We do not recommend for larger groups.
4Do You Offer Reservation For Parties?
Yes. We offer reservations for groups of 8 or more that want to come in and eat & race. All reservations require a 50% deposit to reserve race times. It is highly recommended that you book a group event if you will have 8 or more. You won’t ever have to wait for a track time, and you will only race with the people in your group. Without a reservation for a large group, you will “Arrive and Drive,” or in other words, you will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.

GRGP serves beer & wine. We encourage responsible drinking by patrons AFTER they are done driving, but do not allow any driver to participate in racing if they have consumed in excess of 2 alcoholic beverages during the course of their visit. We reserve the right to breathalyze all racers. Any patron suspected of being impaired will be asked to take a breathalyzer test. Failure to take the test or the presence of alcohol in excess of .04 BAC will disqualify a patron’s participation in any racing for the remainder of their visit
