Leprino Foods Team Building - Race Car Style

One thing I really enjoy about working in Information Technology (IT) at Leprino Foods is the focus they put on fun team building events and activities.  After a town hall meeting led by our CIO, we all broke off into our different teams to do something fun together and this time we voted on Go-Kart racing.  Generally, I enjoy go-karts, but they can be just so-so at most place.  However, this place is crazy!  After attending the "race briefing" about the power of these karts, you head out with full motorcycle helmets and get in these juiced up karts.  They send you off and you just haul around this indoor course that has a ton of turns and a few straight aways.  

I am happy to say that I took home the first-place prize for the day with the fastest accumulated lap times (and the single fastest lap) of our Shared Services group.  Mark, one of my coworkers, was giving me a run for my money all day as we worked to find the fastest lines around the course.  It was quite a fun competition.  A word of caution to those wanting to have a fun time doing this, the next day I was definitely feeling all the banging around that takes place from the racing.  I think my shoulders, arms, and lower back all needed a rest day.  Thanks, Leprino, for the fun adventures!
