A popular Stanford attraction is back open for business news. 12 Connecticut's Mark Soall is at R PM Raceway for us. Well, look at you. You get your own go Kart there, got my own little Go Kart. I'm ready to go. Yeah, Becky. Uh, we're here at R PM Raceway celebrating the grand reopening of the raceway here. They did a lot of renovations to improve the things here and we've got the Andrew with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for coming. Yeah. So what, what have you got planned for all these special events coming up? So we're super excited to announce our new multi level mega track upgrade in Stanford, Connecticut. It's an 1800 ft two story Go Kart track. First of its kind in Connecticut, you have full led lighting and Gamification. It's an incredible upgrade to what we've been offering to our customers in Stanford for the past five years. Any kind of specials and things like that. We're running specials on memberships on walk ins on parties, everything just to get the excitement going in the building and for those that are not destined for the track, full arcade upstairs bowling alley, immersive experiences, full sports bar, bar and grill where we've got it all, whether you're a racer or not. And obviously you do parties, but you said you do a lot of corporate events, a ton of corporate events. So a company of 10 people all the way up to 1000 will come in. They'll either buy one track out, they'll buy the bowling alley out, make it super VIP and customize to them with full food and beverage options. It's a big part of our business and, and really growing. So you first launched this place four years ago during COVID, right before COVID. So talk about that. It was really, really tough. You know, this is a family business. We have five locations in the northeast and planning national expansion. But for a family to go through that, it took a lot of grit. We worked with the city, we worked with our landlords, we work with all of our partners to make it happen, but we came off at the other end, way stronger as a result of all of it. And I mean, certainly I'm sure you love this for all the smiles, right? We're selling fun at the end of the day and it's just a really incredible business to, it's just so natural to see guests come in and just have an amazing time with their friends, their family and their colleagues. And we're fortunate to be in that position to offer it to everyone. Yeah. So I guess we're getting ready to take off here. Is that all right? Are you a racer? I'm kind of a racer. I'm sure you've had plenty of experience. I do have one field advantage. All right. Let's put the helmets on it. Let's do this. We got a green flag over here ready to go. I'm gonna have you buckle yours. All right. You ready? He's given us the green flag. All right, you go first. Hit it. Oh, come on, Mark. Oh, there you go. Take him on the corner. Leave it. All right. Looks like a lot of fun.
