But then lost it on the music, I think I woke my neighbors up...

I remember it from a few years back though, I think its just been re-edited into the new footage...

]]> <![CDATA[Kangaroo Leaps Into Australian Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar Championship, Survives!]]> What is it about Bathurst and weird events? This time the 'roo but do we all remember Amborse's unbolted tire ("tire and car parted company") that rolled down the inside of the long straight, crossed the track btwn an open slot btwn the , hopped up on the berm, and bounced flat up and onto (& 'asleep' on) the tire wall "Wheel Tired"?

"You couldn't do it if you tried, could you?! That's why the call it a control tire! "

Then there was the female flasher distracting drivers, on in particular...(staged, of course and unfortunately)

]]> <![CDATA[Kangaroo Leaps Into Australian Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar Championship, Survives!]]> These V8s are designed to race on Formula 1 style tracks (ie non-oval, twisty-turny) at 200 mph - so their cornering and stability is light years better than Nascar sedans. At Bathurst, you've also got hills (and wildlife) - so the racing is even more dynamic and varied. Excuse my peasantry, but I just don't get Nascar - it's so boring in comparison.

But I am sure glad that no one was hurt in the filming.
