I just heard of it while I was looking up something during a Google search and wondered if I could get any more info as to just what Bucket Racing is all about ?

Bucket racing in OZ usually involves drinking too much alcohol then racing for a bucket, It has the propensity to get quite messy without the bucket....... ;D :o

 ;D  the once swallowed alcohol of course, and anything eaten before hand, easier to clean out of a bucket than the carpet... ;D

I could be wrong but. bucket racing started in NZed when the overworked airforce guys started racing cheap bikes round the airfield.
I like Micks idea better.
