Looks like big fun for all. Love the drag race scene most of all :) cought myself rooting for the underdog, but looks like the big heavy beat the mighty might after all
I wish the city would turn it into a ultralight/trike/PPC air park. But for now it is used for police training and Skywest holds an annual go cart race.
Thanks for the sweet comments.. yes!.. it was me chasing the buggys.. very fast at 200 km/hr..!
Got a heap more footage of the Finke Race.. will see what can be created to give you some adrenaline..!
Stay Tuned..
Hell jeff if you and xc and ken and george and tom keep going strong youre going to paint the us light blue.maybe we could have a race with yfts group to see who paints there whole country first.the might have a good headstart though.
