Reviews from Past Race Experience Participants

Took the 2 day Mini Indy driving course. If you’re reading this deciding to for yourself or a kid — do it! 1. The staff running the day are fantastic young knowledgeable people that will engage you and help you get your racing skil honed 2. Track time! Sooo much track time. At least 17-19 sessions on the track. We packed cooler lunches or snack and sandwiches and it was nice nibbling all day. Seriously if you’re still reading, just do it! Thank you Canadian mini Indy!

Dave Michal

It was the best experience for my son this summer! He is 14 years old, an introverted introvert who speaks fluent' Car and Driver', but had minimal "real" karting experience. His words to me after 20 minutes of Camp... "mom I think I have found my people" 🙂 The head staff hooked us up with the appropriate gear that we could afford and had options to rent the rest! AMAZING!! The organization had exceeded my expectations

Leanne Kilpatrick

Great experience at the boot camp. We were on track a lot and the coaching helped a great deal. The carts run well and they are all the same speed so the races are fair. Staff was also good, considering they probably have to explain the same thing for the thousandth time they were enthusiastic and gave good pointers and tips. Will definitely come back! Highly recommend to anyone who is into any type of racing. We did both the junior and the adult campa and they were both equally good.

Zoltan Wagner

My son attended a two day camp here that he throughly enjoyed. I was especially impressed with the driver coaches and how they handled difficult situations between the the kids in the camp. Great Job and we look forward to returning for upcoming practices, races and next year for camp.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna.

Stephen McCallum

Great experience two years in a row (once for my son and once for me!) with the 2-day training camp. Everything is well organized and for the racing enthusiast with minimal experience, the instruction provides a lot of knowledge and practice time that supports huge improvements over the two days. Highly recommended!

Darryl Vaz

Just finished the 2 day camp and had a great experience. Complements to Terry, who was very informative and kept it fun, as did all other staff. Definitely a great starting point for anyone who has any interest in racing. I'll be back out for more!
