Hoff vs Chuck- Day at the Redbull Boxcart Races

So who’s more popular? Chuck or the Hoff? Well it’s got to be the Hoff, and he even proved it was today at the Redbull Box-cart races.

Telana took me along with her to Moyo’s at the Zoo Lake for a birthday breakfast to celebrate her birthday (which is tomorrow, actually). It was such an enjoyable experience- my first birthday celebration since getting out that dusty box! Thanks Telana for the opportunity to celebrate with you and all that’s happened to me since we met!

So it was a lazy morning sitting under the trees, waiting for our food and coffee’s – you see, this Moyo’s has a superb setting, great for a sllllloooowwww Sunday morning. It’s no good going there if you are in a rush, because the service is just not that speedy.

So after a loooong breakfast, we ambled to the other side of the lake where all the action was happening at this year’s Redbull Boxcart races, along Jan Smuts avenue! We joined the crowds sitting on the lawn to watch a race on the big screen, and then found a great spot right by the action! We watched the 2 toilet boxcarts do their entertainment little jig at the start, and zoom past us. We then found an even better spot right where the boxcarts have to cross lanes, and race down to the finish! I was really hoping for a crash or two, but we only got to see the b.e.e. cart and the roman catapult loose it and topple over after both catching speed wobbles! So no other exciting collisions…

Now you know I’m a fan of Ferrari’s so it was great that the Ferrari team let me check out their little Ferrari boxcart, and that they came second overall too! Awesome replica guys!

The Hoff in his jetski and speedo did splendidly, and what a laugh! Their little entertainment jig comparing Hoff with Chuck and then turning Kit into a jetski, plus their dash over the finish line in good time got them mostly 10’s by the judges! Well done guys, enjoy your R46 000 prize!

Telana’s really into buzzzz’s and vibes and things wacky- and is even thinking of getting a team together to create some boxcart to take part in a race in the near future- and she’ll probably do it, if she can get a team to join her! So does anyone want to take part Let me know, and I’ll put you in touch with Telana and let’s see if we can win next year! That’s an idea with funtential if I ever heard one!

Well, I’ll be signing off now. Not sure of what my next experience will be about or what adventure I’ll get to have… anyone got plans that I can hop on for the ride?

Till then,
