SPEEDY Lorraine Baalham has won her first karting trophy.

The ten-year-old, from Harwich, was successful when competing in a regular monthly race at Ellough Park Raceway, in Beccles.

Driving a Honda cadet engine, she shone in the eight to 13 years category.

In only her fourth race, she clocked a new personal best by over a second and finished 11th out of 18 racers.

This made her the top novice of the day, gaining her a trophy.

Mayflower Primary School pupil Lorraine got into karting last August.

She fell in love with the sport and, after getting her own kart for Christmas, began competing once a month in Beccles.
