Workhouse enjoys Karting success at the Stax 16th Annual Hardware Karting Challenge.
Stax Trade Centres which is one of Workhouse’s longest standing clients has run an Annual Karting Hardware Challenge for the last 16 years now with proceeds going to The Rainy Day Trust. The event see representatives from some of DIY’s top brands such as Crown, Dulux and Ronseal racing it out on a track to claim the coveted fastest lap and Best Team awards and avoid the bent axle award (and a battered pride) at all costs.
Sunday May 17th saw Workhouse on top form as they secured success at Speedkarting in Warrington. Workhouse Designer Jamie Brown proved once again to be top of the field winning all of his 6 heats and posting the fastest lap of the day: a storming 1:01:68 – around 2.5-3 seconds quicker than anyone else! His fourth year running.
The team, Workhouse Warriors won the coveted “best team award” (for the second year running) as result of some solid driving and a high points total. Designer Graham (Grez) Slater ended up collecting a black flag after someone spun directly in front of him- he had no choice but to hit him, although it was rather amusing.
Workhouse Photographer Andrew (Woody) Woodhouse won the final Grand Prix after fending off some tough competition, not a bad result considering this was his first time on the team and first time at the track!
All in all a great day and a very worthy cause.
