Eco Cart Race Day

On Sunday our Eco Cart team competed against 23 other teams in an all day event at BAE Rochester. Our team have been working since early 2012 developing and building our cart made largely from recycled materials. We took part in 6 heats and performed extremely well finishing 2nd twice, 3rd twice and 5th twice.
A huge well done to all the drivers, pit crew and helpers. Thanks so much for all the support our parents gave, a special well done to Mrs Phillips and Mrs Robson for organising the team. Thanks also to our engineer Wes who was unable to make race day. Finally, a very special thank you to Mr Gill for stepping in at the last minute as our starter.
The competition is definitely a learning curve, and we improved vastly on our results from last year as we learnt how to squeeze a few extra mph from the Eco Cart. We're looking forward to next year already!!!
