Kangaroo Hops On Track During Race

Tue Oct 9, 10:52 AM ET

A brave kangaroo just seemed to want a piece of the action over the weekend as it hopped on to a race track during a high-speed V8 Supercar race in Australia.

As cars racing hundreds of miles an hour roared all around it, the kangaroo hopped down the middle of the track. Some drivers narrowly missed hitting it before the animal hopped over to the side.

Authorities said the marsupial escaped serious injury and returned to the wild and the race continued with no drivers hurt, either.

Just for the record, kangaroos can travel at speeds up to 30 mph.

Here's the video:

I saw it on the news and thought about posting it here.

Kangaroos > Trep > Pile of Dog Crap > 'st33m > Your fat sister > 'sc0rt

That's about right; except the part about my sister being fat, but you'll never know because I will never show you a picture of her.

Which are followed by a fat man in an Esteem with flames on the side, hopelessly trying to keep up.

That would be awesome.

Fuck the Kangaroo.  How about the drivers trying to keep up with the pack, and suddenly there's a 250-pound marsupial hopping across their track.

Sensibly marinated, the kangaroo proved delicious at the post-race dinner.

Funny, I always figured Omi was a closer relative of the drop-bear.

How would you sensibly marinade a kangaroo?  Just curious.
Also, what wine would be an appropriate pairing?

I'm sure track corner workers in Australia keep this flag handy at all times:

Quite a few ways, actually. It works well with sweeter sauces, like a nice plum glaze or some kind of chutney; you can pan-fry it with coriander and sweet chilli; or on the barbecue for a smokier flavour. Whatever you can do to beef or lamb, you can do to kangaroo. Just don't overcook it.

In warmer weather, I'd say a nice chilled rose or sparkling shiraz would go down very well with kangaroo, especially if eaten outside at sundown.

That sounds fantastic.
