Townsville 400

The Big V8 Supercars (Ford & Holden which is the Aussie name for General Motors) race around the streets of Townsville. They pass within a block of our house. It was a noisy weekend but lots of fun and excitement. Here are some pics.


If you google Townsville 400 it will lead you to this website.


This is the route through the center of town.


The winner of the 2010 Townsville 400, a Chevy of course.


Ian and I spectating.


Does Bundy Rum make it to the USA??? It's very popular here, I like the bear.


The happy little blimp was everywhere over the course.


This guy had the best view!


Road races aren't very exciting because you only see the cars as they pass in front of you, it is hard to tell who is winning. But the big screens were everywhere and you could see the whole course on them.

It was an interesting experience!
