We had an amazing fun time with family and friends today at Gateway Kartplex - High Speed GoKart Racing. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We will definitely go back. If you would like to have food, Jimmy John's provides a catering service. I do recommend this fun activity for an outing with family and friends.

Came from Indiana for formula drift. Wanted to find a go kart place and this was at the track. Staff was very friendly. Extremely easy check in and cost wasn’t bad at all for the time and experience. Very fast go karts. Will definitely be back in the future.

I was here today with family and friends and there was a little girl there with her Go Kart, she was around 6 yrs. old, I suggest calling to confirm the exact limits. The office staff is very helpful.

Do they let you drive your own car on the track? My husband is looking for a track to run his car on.

For cars on the road course you need to contact either the StL region of the SCCA (Sports car club of America) or the StL PCA (Porsche Club of America). The SCCA does track days for novice drivers once a month called the PDE on the second Tuesday of the month. Porsche has one or two weekend events left this season.

Do they sell go-karts up there or parts for go-karts or possibly go kart frames

Robin Schiller | Oct 24, 2021
Gateway Kartplex | Oct 24, 2021

We do sell karts - we are the St. Louis area's Margay Racing kart dealer. While we primarily sell new karts, you can also purchase Margay frames. We stock basic kart parts (chains, spark plugs, gears, clutch parts, etc.) largely for 4-cycle karts, and can order pretty much anything you might need that we don't stock.

How tall do you have to be to drive one?

Amanda Tabor | Oct 24, 2021
Gateway Kartplex | Oct 24, 2021

Drivers need to be at least 48" tall. Both our seats and pedals adjust, so the karts can comfortably fit a wide range of driver heights.

Are 10 year olds allowed to drive

Justin Gerber | Oct 25, 2019
Gateway Kartplex | Oct 25, 2019

Unfortunately not! Our karts can get up to 55MPH on our track, so we don't allow anyone younger than 12 to run them. We do have several race series for kids as young as 5, and a demo race kart that a 10-year-old could run in ($75 for 2 10-minute sessions with an instructor on track) to see if they're interested in getting a race kart and competing in one of the racing series.
