Racing venues across Texas add excitement to the group outing

Would you trust someone to guide you as you drove a regular vehicle blindfolded through an obstacle course? “Peek-A-Boo Racing” is just one of the visitor programs at the famed Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, the second-largest sports and entertainment facility in the U.S. Accommodating 200,000 fans, this “wild asphalt circus” uniquely hosts every major form of American automobile racing, including NASCAR, NEXTEL cup racing and Indy racing. Catch a race or spend a day behind the wheel with the Team Texas Driving School, which offers team-building programs such as the Pit Stop Competition.

Austin is now a major racing center, thanks to the new Circuit of The Americas. Opened in November 2012 as the first purpose-built Grand Prix facility in the U.S., COTA’s attractions include a 40,000-square-foot conference and media center, expansive live entertainment space, a retail center and a museum.

With almost half of its business coming from corporate outings, Pole Position Raceway in Frisco (and Houston) is an indoor facility offering several go-kart racing options and full facility rentals for formats such as Ironman, Team Endurance or Elimination races.
