The event was a novelty race, held at the conclusion of the Rutherglen Sprints Regatta (Victoria, Australia) on Sunday, January 11. We call this Monster Truck Racing: the coxswain has to be at least 90kg. Some crews used two kids to make up 90kg. The Richmond boys put in 2x90kg coxswains. After about 3 strokes one of the coxswains jumped ship.
