Day 1: The Teams Assemble Part 1

This year 77 teams left from the Shrine of Remembrance. Having been there to see them off, I have complied a selection of photo's from some of the more colorful teams and their cars. Sadly as it was early morning some photo's have a slight case of bloom, but I tried to avoid photo's where the amount of bloom made in impossible to see what the photo was of, but even so some bloom remains. These are not professional photo's and have all been taken on my iphone4.
That said if you were present at the send off and took some nice photo's feel free to send them to me and I will post them.

We'll go in order of numbers, sadly I don't have photo's for everyone. I'm sorry but there just so many of you, and I was focusing on those in costumes or who had an interestingly decorated car. However as I said earlier if you have some nice photo's of your cars and team send them to me if you can while you're away, or wait for your return and I will happily edit these posts to include you.
