They don't call them Australian Pursuit Races, but traditionally the VSCDA
does these (very successfully, I might add) at the Blackhawk Vintage Classic
(Father's Day Week End). As a matter of fact, I think I won the very first
one they ever ran, at a time I was finding a second or two every time I ran
a session. I think Wismer has won one too. I've never been involved in
the orchestration, but I understand that there is a lot of work involved
(setting them up), causing orchestra leaders to miss banquet and drinking the
night before.
I agree that these are great fun.
