Ready, Steady, Go!


Soap Box Derby, 2016

On Sunday 6th March, 2016 we took part in one of the scariest competitions for kids-The NZ Soap Box Derby.

We had an amazing crew-David, Rj, Sharniqua, Vince and Sam were our cool, calm and collected drivers, and Angalenna, Mafoa and Tia were our pit crew.
The legends who made it all possible were Debs, Shawn, Mr Lyth, Martin and Wayne-they made sure that the cars were ready, and trained the drivers and pit crew.

We had an incredible day watching our drivers zoom, zoom, zoom.  After round one, we had 4 drivers in the top 6.  By the end of the day, we had two drivers in the top six-Sharniqua and RJ.

Sharniqua and Rj will now represent us and Mainfreight at the NZ finals, which will be in Whangaparoa on Sunday 20th March.  The winner goes to America to compete in the All American Soap Box Derby-wooohooo!  We hope that we are sending a Mainfreight student with the Mainfreight car.
Go hard Sharniqua and RJ!
