Buckle up, EO RDU — we're kicking off the new year at full speed. Join us Saturday, August 29 at Andretti Indoor Karting in Durham for an afternoon of friendly competition, family fun, and fuel (the slider-and-nachos kind). You'll get a loaded arcade card at check-in, a private event space with its own bar, and the main event: high-speed racing at up to 35 mph — plus junior and mini karts, so drivers as young as 4 can hit the track too.
Bring the family, bring your game face, and find out once and for all who's the fastest entrepreneur in the Triangle. Whether you come for the speed, the snacks, or just the chance to catch up with your EO community, this is the kickoff you won't want to miss!

Calling all mini racers! Andretti assigns drivers to tracks by height and age. Tell us each child's age and approximate height so we can get every driver on the right track and reserve enough race time. Your best estimate works! If your child prefers arcade-only that's fine.
