MSR Houston Karting

Holy smokes, what a great experience! We brought our company here for a retreat and got to “take it to the track,” and it exceeded expectations. Even at a top speed around 32 mph, it was exciting, challenging, and a ton of fun. We were able to run two to three times per person, even with a large group, which made it even better. The staff really made the difference. Sonya runs a tight ship and it shows. Jayce kept everything running smoothly on the mechanical side, Hernan and Sheila at the front desk were friendly and on top of everything, and Lane handled track safety with confidence and clarity. The whole team communicated well and struck a great balance between fun and professionalism. I had seen an older review mentioning management issues, but based on our visit, things are clearly dialed in now. The experience was organized, safe, and overwhelmingly positive. Only downside was a questionable tuna snack from the vending machine, but that one is on me. A food truck here would be a game changer. Would absolutely return and recommend, especially for company outings or group events.

It was a beautiful and fun experience! I ended up taking my boyfriend for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. He originally was suppose to drive the Corvette z06 but ended up driving the Ferrari 48 instead. The staff were extremely kind and humorous ! They took really good care of us. I was kind of sad we missed the food truck because I heard their food was amazing but the experience was unbelievably amazing. We will be back soon for sure!

Super weird experience with a lot of shortcomings. It felt like it had the potential to be a really cool spot if it had some more intentional management. We weren’t given any kinda safety briefing and then we got fussed at when we didn’t know exactly what gate to walk through. We also had one race where one of us wasn’t even listed on the time board at the end. Inside team and outside team seem very disconnected. $350~ for me and 3 friends to race 5x each. Seemed fair, except every race a go-kart died. Broken wheel bearing, one just died, flat tire, it was something every time, so it meant somebody was sitting out in the middle of the race each time. We had to wait for one of my buddies to do a race at the end because of how often the carts broke down. They were also gonna make him wait til the next next race until he said something. Also after we signed waivers, 3/4 of us got an error message, and they were like, “yeah, don’t worry about it.” Other little things that woulda made it better were food and water. Vending machine is full of coke and sugary stuff and there is nothing to eat. I wanted to love it so bad, but it was meh at best. I hope they fix some of these shortcomings because it seems like a cool spot!

What an absolute blast I had participating in the Texas A&M Sports Car Club's full-day rental of the road course! I'd never put my 1997 Viper on a track before, so I eagerly accepted an offer of instruction from Samuel, who was volunteering his time. Huge thanks - his positive, enthusiastic advice made a big difference. I didn't need a stopwatch to know I was going a lot faster afterward. One of the most fun single days I've had. Highly recommended!
