Friends, Family and co-workers all came out to the VPCC to support the racers in lasts nights Corporate Challenge. The rain held off, which made for a fun and exciting evening, to say the least! Fans were in both grandstands and lined perimeter of the track as they rooted on the teams during each heat. All teams laid it on the line in Corporate America’s version of the Thunder Dome!
Team Infinera won the first round of the Corporate Challenge with a time of 2.39.03 minutes, skimming past Valley Preferred Team #1 with a time of 2.40.81. This earned them a bye. Infinera & Valley Preferred Team 1 met once again for a final race. 1/10th of a second separated these 2 teams…..WOW!!!
