Welcome to RACING AGAINST MS Live @ Targa 07
(For more information or comments please contact: sav@shake.ca)

  
 
 This site is dedicated to "Racing Against MS", and to all the folks whose efforts inspire people with MS to live life to the fullest.
 
 

 

Targa is a 2200 kilometer race around beautiful Newfoundland by many teams from around the world.

"...It's like sitting in the backseat of the racecar from my desk..."

This effort is to serve as an example of what can be accomplished when a team pulls together to overcome limitations. Rick MacLeod in his beauty 700HP '99 Mustang is a living example of how people with MS can participate and win in life. Watch him 360 for the crowd along with Navigator Steve McKelvie.

Everyone is capable of using creativity, imagination, skill and passion to make change. We will win.

This site can host 250 simultaneous connections.

Spread the love and disconnect when you are finished to give others a chance to experience the thrill of Targa first hand. The map shows the real location and speed in MPH. This can be refreshed for the latest location.

The 'LIVE' link will tune you into the broadcast from the racecar. Keep in mind that this is live - as it happens – drama and there is no edit. However, if you don't hear audio but do see video, then the drivers have turned off the mic for a moment of private conversation.

The drivers are concentrating and focused on many different and simultaneous challenges when they are racing. As such, during the LIVE broadcast there may be swearing, praying, political discourse, singing, laughing, crying, yelling, observations on the scenery, and random confessions along the way.

The 'VIEW' page will feature video from the previous day for those who missed it live (and some surprises).

The 'GIVE' link will take you to Rick's page where you can read his story and make a donation to the MS Society of Atlantic Canada.

The "SCENES" link opens a whole new browser window. This is all the same choices as above except that these are broadcasts from behind the scenes. You will be able to view behind the scenes settings

Remember this is a protoype site, LIVE from a racecar moving at speed from town to town. Coverage is expected for at least 70% of the time, depending on the area of Newfoundland.

In short - This is real life. Enjoy.
