How this event plays at Manatee County Civic Center
The format that works: arrive at Manatee County Civic Center, split the team into bracketed groups, run qualifying laps, then run elimination rounds through the day with a final showdown between the top seeds. Every guest drives. Every guest has a moment on the leaderboard. And the cross-department rivalry that forms over lap times is the actual team building — people who didn't interact before lunch are coaching each other by dinner. Our operators facilitate the whole format: explain the cars, coach new drivers, run the bracket, MC the finals. Your people leaders at Manatee County Civic Center just show up and participate.
