The King of Europe Retires...
Andy Carter, driver of the Lucas Oil Top Fuel Dragster and
four times FIA European Top Fuel Champion, has sadly announced his retirement
from the sport.
Andy has been involved in motorsport for 40 years, starting
at a grass roots level, and then working his way up the ranks to the very
pinnacle of the sport, achieving a string of major honours and success along
the way.
Andy will now turn his attention to supporting the career of
his young son Albert who is already showing true potential in the world of
junior karting.
Everyone here at Team West-Tec would like to congratulate Andy
on a fantastic career and wish both him and Albert the very best of luck for
the future.
