There is something appealing about car racing for kids of all ages. My boss use to rave about K1 Speed in Carlsbad, California, and how much fun it is. We had a group party there and he is right - it is a blast! They offer junior karts for ages 5 - 10 (riders must be are 4 feet to 4 feet nine inches tall). Pre-teen, teens and adults who are 4" 10" or taller ride the standard karts. Although there are multiple centers in California including Anaheim near Disneyland, in San Diego County there is a location in San Diego and in Carlsbad, in north San Diego county.
