## Story

IRVINE, CALIF. (PRWEB) May 05, 2022 - K1 Speed, an indoor go kart racing operator opens its second franchise location in South Carolina, K1 Speed Myrtle Beach.

This exciting news comes just seven months after K1 Speed opened their first South Carolina location in Bluffton this past September and becomes the company’s fifth new location in the first four months of 2022.

K1 Speed Myrtle Beach features the latest all-electric go-karts, a professionally designed track, the safest barriers, a Paddock Lounge eatery, a gaming area, and a private event space for parties and functions.

K1 Speed Myrtle Beach becomes the only indoor all-electric go kart track in the popular coastal city. Furthermore, their Superleggero karts for teens and adults have been clocked at 45mph, making them the fastest go-karts available for rent in Myrtle Beach. K1 Speed also has junior karts for kids which can reach speeds of up to 20mph.

The entertainment continues off-track in a gaming area, which includes classic and modern video arcade games, billiards, and air-hockey.

The Paddock Lounge located onsite serves a wide variety of delicious foods and refreshments. These include burgers, wings, pizzas, nachos, and plenty of nonalcoholic beverages like sodas and Red Bull energy drinks.

Finally, a private event space can accommodate groups and parties for any occasion - from kid's birthday parties to company parties and private events.

K1 Speed Myrtle Beach is located off Highway 17 on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach and serves the local communities of Atlantic Beach, Wampee, Carolina Shores, Little River, and Calabash. K1 Speed Myrtle Beach is now open seven days a week and no reservations are needed to race.
