    Finke Desert Race 2015

    The Alice is a hive of activity now as competitors and support crews swell the already busy town.
    I'll be heading out to the start Finnish line this year instead of the usual camping down the track.
    I saw a LR set up for racing which I think was the RAMUS Series2 previously raced. A visit to scrutineering tonight will confirm. The competitors and teams are not displaying correctly on the official website for now.
    I'm working the afternoon/ evening shift of the down (Alice to Finke) leg so hopefully won't be needed. It's usually juiced up spectators who need the medical care....

    We've just lobbed in Alice and yep - very busy. Staying in the "Big 4" Caravan park 5Kms out of town and heaps of competitors staying here. Lots of motorbikes.

    Will head down to the start line in the morning to check out some of the cars etc.

    Would love to do the Finke sometime - would prefer to do it on a quad though.
    What amazes me about that video is the camera barely moves but watch the bike beneath the rider and it is going all over the place.
