Friday Night
The fastest way to know everyone at 944Fest.
You sign up as an individual. Teams get drawn at random just before the start. Suddenly you're on a four-person team with three strangers, and you've got two hours, ten teams on track, a minimum of three pit stops, and one shared trophy at the end.
It is the single most efficient social event of the weekend. Track Heroes are grilling burgers next to the karting track. By 9:00 PM, you've made friends with three people you didn't know at 6:00 PM. That's the whole magic of this thing.

The Format
Random teams. Two hours. Most laps wins.
Forty drivers sign up. Just before the start, names get pulled into ten teams of four. You meet your teammates roughly thirty seconds before you all decide who drives first.
The race runs two hours. Each team has to pit at least three times for driver changes. Whoever's running the most laps when the checker drops takes the win. Four trophies, one for each member of the winning team.
You walk in not knowing your teammates. You walk out planning to do this again next year.
Burgers from Track Heroes are on hand all evening. Same volunteer crew from lunch, donations appreciated. The kart track has its own paddock setup. By the time the race wraps, the Transaxle Lounge crew is back at Oak Tree Tavern, and a lot of stories about the enduro are already getting better.

ENDURO
Forty Spots. They Go Fast.
In 2026 they went in 48 hours.
One enduro, Friday night. We've looked into a second one Saturday, and plenty of hands went up, but the kart track isn't up for running their fleet that hard two nights in a row. So Friday is the enduro. When 2027 registration opens, don't blink. The newsletter hears first.
