Whether you’re a NASCAR super fan or you know next to nothing about motorsports, you’ve probably at least heard of Danica Patrick. Now retired, Patrick is worth an estimated $60 million thanks to her success on the race track, most notably a 2008 win that made her the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race. Anyone who assumes that women don’t belong on the racetrack are mistaken!

If you run or manage a business, your success depends on how effective, committed, and motivated your team is. Taking the time to show your appreciation to your employees by planning fun corporate team building events that get them out of the office (while strengthening that invaluable sense of team camaraderie) will help you achieve a more cohesive, more productive, and more pleasant work environment.

Does your job description include setting up corporate activities that will create a sense of unity and common purpose amongst employees? Are you simply interested in lining up some enjoyable company events to help your employees get to know each other better and “gel” as a team? We’ve got a suggestion for you that checks those boxes, is tons of fun, probably isn’t on your radar, and will probably be a brand-new experience for every member on your team: Team Slalom!

Can you endure an action-packed, nail-biting experience that turns friends and coworkers into enemy combatants – temporarily – but ultimately brings them closer together? Team Enduro is a relay-race style karting experience. Teams compete for the best finishing position – and the coveted yet elusive SpeedSportz Racing Park trophy

“Company team building” – that description doesn’t sound very exciting. In reality, it’s usually not! Traditional “company team building” activities – things like leadership seminars, training sessions, and even company-wide baby showers and birthday parties – aren’t events that most employees look forward to. In fact, most employees probably participate because they don’t have much choice.
