Racing in the Sunshine!!!!

We have realised that the Lenham does not like the rain & prefers the African sunshine and warm weather.
Saturday the car was flying, Ken our Team Manager & Derek (our new team engineer) had re-wired the car (or something like that) and Ed had the most amazing races.


After the second race we did have to chase around the race track picking up bits of the car's body work. As the left hand side of the car decided to fly off and Ed had to finsih the rest of the race holding the door on (amazingly not affecting his lap times). Left with a big whole in the side of the car and too small pieces to fit together, Derek had genius inspiration of using the NO SMOKING sign on the pit wall - the perfect fit!
(The grey being the back of the sign)
After a hectic hour preparing the car for the next race we were all hyped to see the car race again.
To end an amazing race weekend, Ed won Index Driver of performance. In normal terms he was one of the best drivers of the day!
Thanks Dad for an amazing weekend, it was great to meet everyone and lovely to see Uncle Mike & Chad who headed up from Durban.
