I've got a great idea to make the Dragon Boat event a real money maker with huge viewership on TV. The dragonboats run their usual silly course through false Creek annoying all the other vessels in the creek during the event as usual. However, to make the event more interesting the race course and rules are modified a little. The finish line is moved to the other side of the Burrard bridge. Here's where you turn it into a real money maker. You auction off bowling balls to spectators on the bridge who get to participate in the event by dropping the bowling balls off the bridge aimed at the canoes dashing for the finish line. After a few of the races, I think the traffic congestion problem in the Creek would be over for good.
What to call the new event.
Dragon Ball Racing?
I see a real potential for hosting a huge event to replace our city's sorely missed Indy races. With the bonus of getting the chance to not just be a spectator, but a participant. I mean if your going to close off the Burrard bridge for a yoga sit in, you might as well set up beer gardens on the bridge and make some revenue for the city. Combine the yoga sit in with the Dragon Ball Race and launch the nearest yoga clown at at the dragon boats passing underneath. Now if you thew some street mimes into the mix as eligible ballista for the event, man now you've got a huge winner on your hands. The citys money problems would be over with all the money it would generate with a huge TV contract. I'm sure the MMA would probably want in on the event too, with the Octagon ring suspended above the water with old school ropes to launch the combatants out of the ring. About time we finally put those annoying dragon boaters to some good use. Yee haw.
We might have to wait for a change in Mayor and Council to get the "Ball" rolling on this one though. But one can always dream. Can you think of any other twists to turn this into a wold class event. I mean it's been a long time since Canada invented a real world class sport.
