My final year in Cadets..............

The first round of the British Championship was held at Rowrah in Cumbria. On Saturday April 3rd, Round 1 of the Championship, I gained the most places in my two heats and the Final compared with any other driver. The total number places I gained was 36 places; 13 in my first heat, 15 in my second heat and 8 in the final. As a result I won the Cadet Hard Charger award. In the picture below, I'm seen wearing the presentation T-shirt.
Let's hope this is the start of a successful year.
