I went last Friday and Speeders is top notch. The karts are great and the laps were pretty thrilling! If everyone is a first timer they'll cap the speed for the first few laps but even those were fun. When they let you go full throttle the fun goes to another level.
Although it was busy on Friday, they were organized and rather helpful. The facility is a bit cavernous but it's nice and tidy. I can't wait to go back this weekend!
It's not head-to-head positional racing but rather best lap time qualification-style racing. I think they do it to limit the amount of bumping and contact as the walls are more for track alignment than crash barriers (i.e. they move quite easily and have to be pushed back into place).
The qualification-style racing may not seem as fun as positional but it can be pretty competitive as you are racing against both yourself and others. Also, you have no idea what your lap time is until you get out of the car so you have to push yourself for 13 out of the 14 laps.
