Sometimes you come across a very funny ads. I imagine an athlete running around the swamp in shales:



According to the regulations, first it had to pass a beach race, and then dyunnuyu. And in the one and in the other it was necessary ulozhitsya less than 4 minutes. The first route launched on the Grand Tourists. For tourists, it was the two major races, as they were for a time, and the result was involved in determining the winner of the whole competition. Looking ahead to say that the results of the beach and dune race we were on the 5th place. From 4 th place we have separated the 1 tenth of a second! From second place in the two races we have lagged behind by only 1, 2 seconds! The results were very tight, and the organizers were determined tenths, I do not understand, because at the start of the race gave us dyunnuyu approximately as follows: "So what? Ready? Well then, let's! »

Those who have traveled plyazhku, moved up to the start of the dune race:



When driving on sand plays a decisive role horsepower. Sand - granular substance. "The tightness" for him not go, so you need to quickly turn the very large and deflated wheel. That is why vehicles with a powerful gasoline engine, such as Hummer, have an advantage in the sand:

In the evening, the organizers decided to make a fire for us, and bring us to the wood charged. Each team had to bring the fire log at least 10 centimeters in diameter and a length of at least 1 meter.

We otpili 1/3 of it and put candles in different places. Then make 4 deep cutting through and poured into a little solarium that tree flared up soaked and better:
