Is Go-Karting safe?

No activity is without risk, but we have many safety procedures that are monitored and enforced by Track Marshals stationed throughout the racing area. The Fair on 4 Track Marshals have the ability to remotely control the speed levels of each individual kart and adjust based on the performance of each rider. Go-Karting at the Fair on 4 is a non-contact sport, so the fun is in competing for the best lap time. If you follow the rules and expectations of the Marshals, we can all enjoy a good time.

***Alcohol consumption is allowed in our venue, but not on the Go-Kart track. All of our Track Marshals and Fair on 4 staff are trained to identify signs of intoxication and coordination impairment. Over-consumption may result in removal from the race at the discretion of Track Marshals/Fair on 4 staff if our safety rules are not being followed or there is potential risk to others. Races will not be refunded if you are removed for blatant negligence or disregard of the posted track rules.

Can I order food and drinks while Go-Karting?

As a spectator, yes! As a driver, no—races move fast and we do not allow food or drinks in the Go-Karts or on the track itself.

What do the Go-Kart Track Marshals do?

Our Go-Kart Track Marshals are trained in safety precautions and will be available the whole time during your session for questions and guidance. Fair on 4 Track Marshals will greet racers at the track entrance and brief everyone on warning flags, protocol, Go-Kart operation and general safety. The Marshals are stationed along the track to make sure the race runs smoothly and safely.

How do I know if my child is old enough to participate?

Children must be at least 11 years old with a parent or guardian present, 50" or taller, and able to safely fit into our junior helmets to be able to ride. We do not have two-seated karts, so parents cannot ride with children. Beyond that, you'll want to make sure they are confident, respectful, and feel safe driving on a fast paced go-kart track.
