The view from the back seat... check out that switch panel on the left!!
Passing an oversize load at North Lakes... Ferris wheel in the background...
Damian posing for a photo...
It was a bit foggy out there - this was looking over the Deagon Racecourse...
Heading over the Gateway Bridge...
Camp Quality signage set up...
The volunteers started arriving... Quintin brought Mark along who decided photobombing was his strong suit!! Job well done Mark!! Mark also brought a couple of young fellas along whose names Damian can't remember.
Damian posing for a selfie with Vivien. Without Vivien's assistance (and connection to the Rotary Club of Carindale), Team Booger Mobile would never have even known about the fundraising opportunity at the Brisbane Billycart Championships, let alone have a chance of being the recipient of said fundraising... Thanks Vivien!!
Setting up the ramps for the 4-6 year old races...
Luke looking dapper in fluoro...
The view from the top of the ramps...
Damian in his Team Booger Mobile safety vest, testing out the range of the microphone.
Joanne doing a great job directing entrants!! Regular blog readers would remember Jo from the 2011 esCarpade!!
The Team Booger Mobile Camp Quality volunteer crew getting a briefing from Nev of the Rotary Club of Carindale. In the green shirt to Nev's left (wearing a Team Booger Mobile hat) is Angus, Damian's co-driver for the 2013 esCarpade, and coincidentally, Jo's husband!!
The winner's trophies...
Racing begins...
Giggle lining up against Happy Dragon in the mascot race... Happy Dragon crashed out and Giggle held it straight for the win!! (In fairness, Giggle was winning before Happy Dragon crashed out!!)
Giggle after his victory!!
Damian's son Aidan competing in the 10-12 year modified division - beaten in the first heat by the cart that went on to win the division!!
Giggle and Quintin, with some of the other mascots in the background...
This spectacular creation was the winner of the best billycart competition. The fact that its number is very close to that of Booger Mobile is purely coincidental!!
The other of Damian's boys Jordan in his first heat - going on to win it!!
Picture of concentration... Jordan (in yellow shirt) and his competition eyeball each other...
Third run...
Jordan outrun by the cart that eventually went on to win the division!!
Booger Mobile was on display all day, adding a splash of colour to the area!!
Unfortunately, because Damian was busy on the microphone all day, there aren't that many photos on the blog as there usually would have been. You can check out a selection of photos from one of the official photographers on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151545056605598.1073741841.34076395597&type=1
All in all, it was a spectacular Sunday at the Brisbane Billycart Championships, and Damian was stoked to have had the opportunity to be the MC for the day, and to raise some money for Camp Quality.
Damian would like to thank the following people for their assistance on the day:
Tricia, Aidan and Jordan.
Rose, Adam and Jacob.
Angus and Joanne.
Steph and Matt.
Quintin.
Mark and young people (Damian really must try to remember their names at some stage.)
Paul and Catherine.
Luke.
And last but certainly not least Vivien, without whom Team Booger Mobile wouldn't have had a fundraising event to attend!!
