My pcv friend Alicia's boss Johnny has a nephew that happens to be a famous race car driver in Jamaica, Doug "Hollywood" Gore. Johnny invited Alicia, me and our friend Steph to watch Doug compete in Rally Jamaica 2k8 which is this big racing competition hosted in Jamaica each year. It is a three day event with several different "stages" (race tracks) located in various locations including an orange tree grove outside of Bog Walk where there was a big water jump that the cars drive through.
The water jump!
We got to watch all the races (and a few crashes too!) up close and personal and also got to meet some of the drivers. One of the drivers is 72 years old! I got a pic with him and gave him my bottled water to use when his car was over heating, pretty cool huh? LOL! Anyways, the races were crazy, with lots crazy sharp turns with cars skidding around corners and flying over hills in the road.
Me with Morley, the 72 year old race car driver!
Me and Steph with Doug "Hollywood" Gore. "Team MoBay!" The Rally finished in New Kingston where we got to go to the top of the PanCaribbean building to watch the end races through the main streets of the city. It was an amazing view. Thanks to Johnny for caring us around all weekend and Alicia for being a fabulous hostest.
