#SB14. Richard Burton
We are a father and daughter joint effort team. Dad, Richard, does all the effort and Katie hangs around the joint. On race days near to home a motley crew of helpers turn up to provide some muscle, encouragement and sausage sandwiches. Luckily consuming bacon butties and pork pies actually makes us go faster – see us in the pits for an explanation provided you bring calorie laden comestibles

#SB15. Chris Webster
Toothless was originally built at home in the Scottish Borders in 2015 and is ever evolving. I have taken part in the Border Bogie Challenge at Denholm and Hawksland Hill Run near Glasgow and had success in both events. Looking forward to my first time competing at Harewood.

#SB17. Mike Jennings - TAD 1
TAD 1 was originally designed and built as an apprentice project at Lambert Engineering Limited for our local charity race at Windmill Hill during 2013. The team of six apprentices aided by senior mentor Mike Jennings built TAD 1 in approximately six weeks. One company philosophy at Lamberts is ‘right first time’ and TAD 1 has proved to be just that securing multiple wins from the same basic design and layout. Only three subtle changes have taken place and they are:- rack and pinion steering, brakes on all four wheels and seating position of the driver. TAD 1 has been photographed with Guy Martin on board when he was researching for the soapbox world speed record and also with MP Nick Clegg when he visited Lamberts during a nation apprentice week initiative.

#SB19. Simon Graeme
A team of 4 Yorkshire-based mechanics, all working at Simon Graeme’s Auto Service Centre. Our first soap box race was back in 2015 and we finished in 2nd place! After a couple of modifications to our soap box this year, with Simon at the wheel we’re hoping to go one place better in our second run out.

#SK8. Dom Quinn
Dom Quinn has been driving gravity racers for some years now, as part of the “Where’s me Spanners?” team. He was the youngest competitor at the famous ‘Cairngorm Extreme’ events. This year he will be competing in his own SpecKart as “Where’s me Scalpel?” (He is in his final year studying medicine at Keele university hoping to become an orthopaedic surgeon.) His racing career has been marked by some spectacular crashes, but last year at Harewood he was driving the SpecKart of Andy Ash… He was un-beatable and easily the fastest Speckart on the hill. He was unanimously voted winner of the 1st SpecKart ‘Head to Head’ trophy.
