Lotus takes on Williams

| 4 Comments | No TrackBacks
One of the paddock traditions in Canada is the mechanics raft race. Behind the paddock is an Olympic rowing basin, left over from the '76 games. This year just two fun-loving teams entered, Lotus and Williams.

The Williams berth was a conventional looking kayak, but was in fact constructed from front-wing travel cases.

The Lotus raft was shorter and wider, with front and rear F1-style wings. Unfortunately the weight distribution was totally out of whack and it seemed in capable of going forwards.

The course was around 400m long, the crews having to paddle, turn around, and come back. Lotus weren't even half way before the Williams crew were on the home stretch, so sabotage was the Norfolk boys only chance - they jumped on the Williams kayak and capsized it.

In a stroke of genius forethought, the Willys boys had written 'HELP!' on the bottom.

I really enjoyed the article. It proved to be Very helpful to me and I am sure to all the commentators here!

This short review can make it's exasperation show. Any of this opinion careens easily straight into pet peeves that contain next to nothing to do with the contribution, putting attention instead on generalizations relevant to woman, backgrounds, bicyclists, not to mention an ethnicity mentioned by having an adjective utilized being a noun. A suitable coded hurtful outburst is added in, followed instantaneously by accusations of a “race card” being played.

A topic close to my heart thanks. Like your blog design too.
