Peterborough Kartway

Not the fastest karts but the family had a great time. Perfect for young kids.

Peterborough Kartway was what we were looking for, as my husband wanted to take our son on a Go Kart track and they are few and far between these days.. but weird experience.... We arrived and the young guy running the track came out and said that there was water on the track and we couldn't go out. As we were getting back in the car, the neighbour across the road yelled over that all the guy had to do was sweep the puddles away but he'd been turning people away all day instead of doing his job. He told us to post on social media. The kid yells back " we don't have social media!". Guy yells back " People are coming to have fun on their vacations and you keep turning them away! Do your job!!!". The kid walked away, we got back in the car. As we were driving away, the kid came back out and said if we came back in 1/2 hr, it might be okay. So we did come back and they did go on the track... and they had fun.. Maybe call ahead to see if there are track puddles...

Had a ton of fun go-karting in the rain! I would LOVE to take a run on the faster karts and also my fiancee would tell you that "not all karts are created equal", meaning some are faster than others but in my experience that's pretty par for the course for all go-kart tracks. This one felt a bit expensive but it was still fun and our host paid for it all so the cost didn't bother me much (selfish I know).

About 40 years have passed since the last time I was there. It was for a scout camp. One of the things we were allowed was to go to the racetrack, which I did, absolutely loved going back. What fun! Nostalgia is something good when you can share it..
Thanks for the ride down memory lane.
