Sunday March 28 dawned another beautiful late summer morning. The second annual Soap Box Derby looked like being another little ripper! Slowly, from 7:00 am on, the 15 teams of drivers, pit crews and cheer teams gathered and with them the excitement. Race day had finally arrived. PES Racing were pumped. The car was polished. The cheers were practiced. The drivers particularly focused!
As it was last year, so this year the racing was tight with two of our drivers, Casey and Ala, qualifying for the knock-out round. Ala's qualifying time of 34.435 secs turned out to be the 3rd fastest recorded time of the day. Unfortunately in the knock-out section of competition Ala could only manage 6th fastest time and so missed out on a spot at the Nationals on the 10th of April.
We didn't come home empty handed though. Our slick Pit Crew, vibrant Cheer Team, focused Drivers and enthusiastic Family & Friends Supporters won us the "Best Team" trophy. Ala also received a trophy for being the fastest PES Racing driver.
What a credit to our School the PES Racing team are. It was a pleasure to be managing such a great group of students.
Let's do it all again next year!
