Six teams of school kids reaching up to 60 km/h down Kaipatiki Rd in Glenfield, North Shore. Good, old-fashioned fun. All cars are built from identical kit-sets with the challenge being to set-up and tune the balance to best effect. Glenfield College would take out the 2011 edition with a car that was clearly superior to the others.

The taste of defeat having come off second best on this run.
