Speach from Adrian at the Awards
Great night for the Rivers Family Racing Team at the NZDRA Awards Night picking up the  the NZDRA 1st place Trophy for the Compitition Class. The Team put a lot of Effort into the Season to earn the No1 spot with many highs and lows along the way. The Dragster has been run for 10 seasons in a row and the plan is to have a season off and prepare for the next level of Competition. The Team will continue to run the smaller cars and may even run the dragster with the little engine in it once or twice.
