Current Goal

The race was run along the lines of the Daytona 500.
Except there were only 4 cars.
They could travel anywhere in the World, not just the Daytona circuit.
And the race lasted a year, not just 500 miles.
Apart from that they were just the same !

The race started on 4th April 2010 in Devon and ended on 31st March 2011 with only 1 of the 4 cars still in action.

Looks like my Pontiac has crashed out of the race and is probably now in the hands of some stupid kid who found t funny to wreck a cache and other people's fun.
See what happens when you let them have holidays??
