Crossle Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 So, this morning i received an email from speeds and it was a three question survey gauging interest in opening a new facility. I headed over to their website after the survey to post it up here, but there was no where to click to take the survey. It says they are actively seeking feedback from former customers, so check your emails/old emails! Anyone else get the email? Heard anything else? http://www.speeds.cc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtbolt64 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I wondered what the hell happened to that place. It was something fun to go do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVRINGS Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I never got to either, but I'm sure they made some good money cause Wal-Mart bought the land from them right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I hope they open back up. I never got a chance to go, and it always seemed like a ton of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I went there for an event with work one time, and at that point they were talking about opening some facility with even faster carts. I thought they said they were having trouble getting licenses to offer the experience they wanted without training/licensing customers. It was a ton of fun when I went though, they had carts set up to be tight, and others set up to be loose. I always preferred the loose ones .

HAOLE Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 We used to break into that building when I was a kid to play laser tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I know the owner personally.. I don't think I should share his future plans, but there's a good chance he's re-opening another location on the north side of town... best I can do to help everyone interested. Only reason the previous one closed is because his Visa expired and Walmart also made him an offer on that property more than quadruple what he paid for it.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I used to work for the old owners nephew and he shut down speeds because he got paid mad money for that land plain and simple. I tried buying a kart off him, but he sold them all to one company. I actually remember when Speeds was "the spot" on the weekends during the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
