Billy Cart Racing

Billy Cart (Go-Cart) racing at Centenial Park Sydney.  This was such a fun day, the billy-carts were fantastic, so much time & effort had gone into making them.  We had a walk around the pits to admire all of the designs.  The teams were all dressed up according to the theme, even the ones not riding that day.  Josh's favourite was Scooby Doo!!! I particularly liked the toaster with riders dressed as slices of toast,  it even had a plug trailing along behind it & they threw slices of toast out to the spectators as they whizzed past!! We found a good spot along the race track so we could watch them tackle the chicane & head off over the ramp!! It was great fun cheering them on & we saw some great crashes, a particular favourite was 'Table for Two', yes an actual dinner table on a bully-cart.  They were doing so well driving along eating their spaghetti until the bump...... The table flew down in front of them but they did manage to grab it but then lost control and came crashing to an end!!! The lady who was actually a bloke dressed up came flying off the cart and was saved I'm sure by his false boobs as he just jumped back up!!! 


















The winning billy-cart was the one designed like the harbour bridge, it was built to last just like the bridge!!!! They made it down in one piece and were one of the fastest.  Theme, design, creativity & speed were all factors in the judging.  We all thought the 'Table for Two' should have won, it was so creative, they even ate & drank on the way down & the table just tilted at the very end!!! 

Red Bull sponsor these 'Billy-Cat' races all over the world so if you see an advert for one near you we would highly recommend you go along, it's a great laugh!!!
