..and they're racing..!

The Beach Race is a favourite in the Burt Munro Challenge and here they all line up for the real challenge! The 50 miler!. Round the course 50 times. Some pull out and some carry on.
Three Good Things:
1. Great weather and a great turnout - thousands!
2. A hot dog which really was rather good.
3. A comfy car seat to appreciate rather than sitting up on the hard sand of the dunes.

[Lou Ann]

How cool is this! I love, love the movie that showcased your father in law’s incredible life’s calling to be the fastest Indian. To think that today he is more revered than he ever was in real life, is just remarkable! I love all the events, world wide, that you showcase on 365! Fav!

[Helen Jane]

That looks like a real fun race to be part of. Glad you have the weather. Super shot.

[Louise & Ken]

You have such fabulous beaches down there (and fewer people!) it must be great fun to watch!

[Maggiemae]

@Weezilou Its real entertainment, Louise! Commentary over the speakers, the noise of the motorbikes roaring away at the flag drop!

[Tony]

Impressive line-up. Trying to imagine the sound of all those bikes roaring away.

[katy]

wonderful perspective to your image. It sounds like grand fun

[Leslie]

great wide shot ... hopefully you were far enough back to not get blasted with sand as they took off... I'm sure you would have mentioned it if you had.

[Maggiemae]

@lesip I was quite a way away - used my zoom and then cropped!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Wow!!! That must be so much fun and extremely muddy by the end of 50 laps!!
Hi, I'm helping to organise something nice for a wonderful 365er, please email me at [e-mail] asap, thanks x!

[Maggiemae]

@ruthmouch they are covered in sand and salt and so are their motocyles which have to be cleaned so well! Good on 'em!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[CC Folk]

I am glad I am not doing their laundry! :)
