A BAKERS CREEK racer has taken out a prestigious national award that he says is like winning the Bathurst 1000.
Against all odds, Adrian Bycroft took out the slot car racing Peter Brock trophy in Melbourne earlier this month, smashing second place by 73 laps.
He was named the champion for completing the most number of laps – a total of 884 – in 40 minutes around the 48-metre electric track against 13 other drivers.
Getting to the finish line requires concentration to control the speed of the car and quick reflexes to avoid crashing into other cars, Bycroft said.
