No.

It was a short-lived but highly celebrated road race that drew participants from around the world. The Bimbo was piloted by two local children, a sister and brother (seen in my photo), and was allowed to take off ahead of the actual competitors as an interesting way to kick-off the event. The children drove the little Bimbo for a kilometer or two and then safely pulled off the course at a ranch before the real competitors were unleashed.
