Nope, I didn't know about it until I got home :togo: I was leaving at the same time it was starting and some official said "are you leaving or participating in the parade?" I didn't know what the parade was all about so I just left

I think there were a few students there, did anyone see the LJ Torana get stuck on the speed hump... GRRIIIIIIIND... :

I didn't see any of the non Fords get an entry form, the Astina in front of me just took off when we FINALLY got to the finish line.

I probably have a pic of your car kiwikid, I'll have a quick look. ;)

He didn't get stuck completely but he did have to come off it sideways, and it was still scraping.

I guess that was the one good thing about not being in my EB, I would have had a little trouble at the front with them too.
