Covid  makes everything so hard right?  I have no idea if you go kart for a few hours.  How do they sell tickets?  Is it per ride or for so many hours?  Have you guys gone before?  Is that all there is there?  The only go kart tracks we have been to a rather small and ride around doesn't take more than a few mins.  The kids might go a few times, but I think mine would be bored doing that for 2 hours if that is all there was.  

I think you could frame it anyway you want to.  I would have them drop them off there.  Some might stay others might enjoy an hour or two break.  You don't have to entertain them. I wouldn't feel comfy with group food at this point.  I also wouldn't expect that.  This isn't his birthday party, just a fun thing to get together and do.  

You could do something different.  Up to you.  Hard to know what would work better or be easier since I am not around you.

What time?  I would pack some chips, cookies and Capri Suns and tell them that they can meet you at the track if they’d want.

If this is a private school, he is likely forming his core group of friends right now.  You want to get to know these families.

I'd pack a blanket, a bag of snacks, and a good book.  I'd describe it as, "Hey, kid has organized a go-karting thing. I realize it's an inconvenient distance away, but if you can make it, I'll be hanging out. Bring a picnic blanket or a lawn chair; I'd love to meet you! If not, next time we'll try to find something close to home."

Well, I know what I'd do, which may or may not be helpful to you. I'd invite others along the lines of  "we'll be go-karting from 1-2 on Sat. DS would love to see X there." Or I'd have my kid tell the others when he'd be there and say it would be fun if they could come too.

Then I'd take some easy snacks/drinks and read a book while my kid did his thing. (Okay, not really on the book thing, as I'd most likely be entertaining the toddler/baby, but you get the idea.)
