With the added pressure of a Joker, Steve 'star' Borgas of Burra prepares to begin 'Space Race'.
His team captain's expectation of a 38 second time was viewed as optimistic. Competitors must run
three laps around the planet's ring, collecing a small ring for each lap. The planet is rotated
'on its axis' by an opposition team in the opposite direction to the competitor's running. At the
completion of the third lap, the competitor must climb the planet (particularly hard in the wet) and
plant their state's flag. |

At seven seconds Borgas is a blur as he zooms around the planet. |
 |
At fifteen seconds. The movement of the planet counteracts Borgas' running. |
 |
Borgas rushes the South Australian flag to the north pole. |

Fiona MacDonald chats with a relieved Borgas at the completion of his record 31-second victory.
(All that footy training paid off!). |

A check on the scoreboard shows Frankston coming, yes you guessed it, last.
Hi to everyone in Frankston. |
