The Whit-bank holiday weekend was special in many ways for a lot of people.

For most it was a great trip to the drags to watch the fastest cars on earth, but for one special group of visitors it was the experience of a lifetime!

ACI Racing major associate sponsor ELAS arranged for a group of school children from the Hazel Leys Primary School in nearby Corby to join the team as VIP guests.

The kids were treated to that ‘up close’ and personal experience that only FIA European Drag Racing can provide.

The children were impeccably behaved and had such a good day out, that after the event the flood of thank-you letters and cards from all of them was heartwarming to say the least!

ELAS who arranged the trip for the kids are experts in Employment Law as well as being major players with the ACI Racing team through 2005.

The partnership between the two is already showing benefits for business, and many happy faces, as can be seen from the pictures of the kids!

We look forward to welcoming back to the track all of the Elas clan in September for the European Finals!
