The first race day! Sunday

Wow! Sunday morning and this is it!
The tent was up by 8 am and the team were busy setting up the car stands and getting the weights into place.
We continually ran out of time, we were still learning to stay focused and work as a team.
Weigh in, alter the weights, check the weights again.
Racing against the clock in order to get each person to the starting blocks on time.
Running into position to watch the race and be back in the pits ready to start all over again.
Our Drivers: Rosa/George, BinhMinh, Karan, Elliot and Ben.
Pit Crew: George, Finn, Abigail and Prashant.
What a frantic day. We really learnt a lot.
HOW DID WE GO?
All our drivers performed well, improving in their second run and all having times in the top quarter for the day.
Outstanding runs:
BinhMinh had the fastest run of the day.
Karan had the 2nd fastest amalgamated times of the day, running in the semi-finals and gaining a place in the National Finals
Congratulations to the team for your achievement over the day
and to Karan on your achievement, reaching the finals.
