Soapbox Derby 2016

What a beautiful day for a drive... but we're not talking about a leisurely Sunday cruise! How about speeding down a steep hill at 55-60km/hr with nothing but a helmet, brake pedal and a few hay bales (just in case).
A team of five drivers and three mechanics representing BMPS and Mainfreight, took to the track today and our Sharniqua was one of them. Under the expert eyes of Mr Lyth, Wayne, Martin, and Shaun and Debs, the team burned a bit of rubber!

Three of the team were in the top 12 after the first heats, and raced off again for a place in the top 6.
Congratulations to RJ (Room 12) who placed sixth, and Sharniqua who placed fourth. They will both now head to Whangaparoa to race the best of the best, and to be in to win top placing- who will race in America!

All the best RJ and Sharniqua for your races in two weeks time.
