Last weekend I attended
the Australia Grand Prix, very nice seats but a little boring (I would
rather have been working the event), and this weekend I helped out with
the start of the "Fly the Flag Tour" a 1000+ KM road "rally" for
histroic cars. No timed sections, just a lot of back "paved" roads and
scenic sights to see. Since the event is 1,177 KM in 7 days they have allot of time to "stop and smell the flowers". The event is limited to 200 cars and the RACV (their AAA) sends along 2 Service Teams. The Royal Governor (Australia is still in the English Commonwealth ie a Colony) gave a speach and waved off the 1st 10 cars. The cars all left the start within 20 minutes, just to be struck in "down town" traffic for an addiitonal 30 minutes to go about 4 KMs. , http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Internet/Auxiliary/news+26+events/media+releases/fly+the+Flag+tour+reaches+new+heights |
