Honda Fit

Selling and fixing cars took a back seat at Brandon Honda one weekend in late March.

That's when 28 employees from the dealership, including Managing Partner John Marazzi and General Manager Sam Raabe, participated in the Savage Race. Held over two days, the Dade City race covers 7.5 miles of swamp terrain filled with 25 obstacles and a maximum slope of 198 feet.

“It's like being a kid again and doing PE,” says Raabe, a multiple time Savage Race contestant. “You get thrown around mud, and it's really cold. But it's a lot of fun.”
