Me and Anita entered a very serious and tough race last weekend. We came in last place and most race cars finished the race in half our time.
Here are the different vehicles..
This is ours. A very deadly race machine! Its actually
a normal transport thing in Norway in wintertime. Look much like a pair of skies with a chair on top.
Here we are test driving the deadly wonder before the race. Problem was breaks and stearing. we figured that we didn't need breaks but we might need to turn the thing...the race track was a very long left turn. This made it possible to rule out the right turn and just concentrate on the left. We never really managed...
Just before the race feeling very confident..
At the top...ready for take off.
Here we are in the first round...we were lucky with the picture...just before this we were very eligantly jumping it back on track trying desparetly not to hit the many people watching us make fools of ourselves..
Here we have our cheerleaders...they hid well :-) They had 2 signs as well...but I don't know where they hid them.
Creative ways :-)
This really was a wonderful car! There is a lot of time and cursing behind this. And we also were very happy that the driver is around the same age as us..almost all drivers were kids.
There has to be flames!
I really liked this one!
Of course there was accidents..surprisingly many. One never made it to the finishline, others got bad fleshwounds and some just got a bit shaken :-)
Can't wait for next years race!

Oh, and Wikipedia says sparkstøtting is kicksled in English.
Silje replies:
I couldn't find the english name for spark...kicksled makes sense, though kickchair is more fun :-)

Did dad take over? I can't recall, but it would be very like him to get perhaps a bit too involved in the race. :)
