CHANDLER'S Ford kart racer Chris Derrick will be driving flat out for a treble this summer.

He's aiming to make it three Matchams Kart Club Championships in a row, and backed up by a string of enthusiastic sponsors, he will take some stopping.

Derrick was so dominant in last year's Championship that he had it won before the last round. He just had to sign on for the last event to make sure but he was still motivated enough to go on and score another podi-um finish.

This season, Derrick has chosen to stay with Dap engines and will be running a Dap Rapier chassis, which last month enabled him to finish in the top ten at a national NKRA O Plate event on a circuit he'd never seen before.

Derrick's sponsors this season are Nutland Carpet Accessories and Peter Green Furnishings, with additional support from Argonaut Powder Coating and David Pantling Planning Consultancy.
