Yes, it is good fun.
Trolley
racing in NZ is a popular spectator sport which is raced in different
classes from
kids all the way up to corporates who take it pretty seriously! We are a corporate class racer and with ST.John Ambulance being a charitable organization, it forms part of our fund-raising activities. I should add that I'm only the designer/builder - there is an idiot paramedic in St.John with no brain who hurtles down the hill in that thing. Last year we came 2nd overall in very close
racing, but St.John doesn't really care about placings just so long as we beat our arch rivals, Fire Brigade and police. With such a slender margin I am reluctant to put a noise-maker on the wheels (friction) but do
recall some sort of ramjet whistle affair that I would like to mount on the fin. Scare the crap out of the opposition.
