    • The Gemini wagon was originally built by Eboné, her Dad Ken, and Uncle Wayne in 2000 to participate in the school based category Clubsport 16. Clubsport 16 was a local category that involved drivers between the ages of 12 – 16 teaching car control, basic maintenance and race craft. When Eboné turned 16, the car was further developed to meet Improved Production specifications and saw the addition of a 3SFE Beams motor in 2013.

  • • COMMENTS/QUOTES/GOALS

    • The IPRA formula encourages close competition at a lower cost than many others. While dollars will always help to be on top in any category (how fast can your wallet go?) IPRA allows budding home engineers to transform the half baked go fast idea from last night’s bevvies with the boys (and girls) into a modification that might deliver a second a lap….. or not. The point being that the category encourages experimentation which is half the fun.
