Outdoor NASkart Experience

Fast Time Grand Prix – August 2016

Fast Time Grand Prix is located at 1460 Springhill Road in Parksville.

Tell us about your business/organization and what makes you stand out as an employer?

Fast Time Grand Prix and outdoor experience in NASkart racing is an exciting place to pique your racing interests. Our 20 karts allow us to have heat races of 12-14 traveling in excess of 45 km/h on our ½ km track. Our timing system records the drivers lap time, fastest time, average time and ranks them in the order they finish the heat race. As an employee it’s an exciting amusement type atmosphere where our customers look forward to feeling like Formula One racers and we assist in providing that thrill in a safe environment. Operational times are generally in good weather conditions with fun times experienced by our employees. At the end of the day our employees often test their skills with a couple of free laps for themselves, adding to the benefits of working for Fast Time Grand Prix.
