How about the BIG race?

Posted by Shane Tuesday 30 September, 2008 01:47 PM

It's the biggest race to hit this great city since the America's cup. On Friday October 3, Perth came to a stand still as we saw the biggest and best mascots fight it out for the race to stop a city.

Click here for all the details of the big race.

  • We'd love to hear from you as to what you thought of the race?
  • Should it be an annual event?
  • Was Johnny the Docker (our winner) a deserving winner?

Tell us about the Grand Mascot Race.

Dan the internut says
Hi David, our promo team asked The Eagles a couple of times to race, but unfortunately they could not do it. Thanks for your post.

Probably the only trophy the Dockers will ever win...haha

A great race and Mr Rental did a great job in assisting the RAC mascot (don't think he would have been able to get up on his own. It was great to see all the kids and parents having fun and an excellent way to raise money for a very good cause.

To the Big Couch, what a great and fun idea. Way to go, it was a blast. It should be on all calendars as an annual event. Please bring it back next year.

Next time there needs to be a handy cap for the bigger mascot's, the cable guy would have won that

Johnny Docker was REALLY IN TO IT! he was doing sumersaults when they called his name at the start line!

Mr Rental was the REAL winner! he helped out the R.A.C dude when he was in need!

GO MR RENTAL!

Mr Rental showed the best of WA spirit by stopping to help pick up the RAC mascot after a fall at the fence. there by giving up any change of a place on the podium, good on you!

I was at the race and well done Johhny Docker...However I thought that Pinky The Pig from Hog's Breath stole the show....Did you see his dance moves!!!

Posted by Kerryn Friday 3 October, 2008 01:23 PM


Masters Cow will win! Why? because cows rock!

Posted by Gillian Friday 3 October, 2008 11:26 AM


This race will STOP Western Australia.
Where is "The EAGLE", from West Coast Eagles.
Maybe broken wings or hamstring stop it from THE RACE, or We have to pay ti see it running.

Good luck Johnny The Dock

Piggy from Bendigo Bank is going to win, no doubt about it! GO PIGGY!!!

Posted by Sarah Friday 3 October, 2008 10:37 AM


Piggy is bound to win. After all the (step/pilates/pump training) and banana icecreams. Winner for sure.

Posted by Tania Friday 3 October, 2008 08:59 AM


i know who they're putting in the suits! I'm not sure who he is, but there's someone called Usain Bolt running in the mortgage choice outfit...

Posted by Rosco Friday 3 October, 2008 07:27 AM


I think fat cat will win because he is on the trophy and it wouldn't look good on other mascot mantle

Posted by Stacey Thursday 2 October, 2008 08:47 PM


Masters Cow is gonna kick their ass. RAC man is gonna lose badly cos the suit is useless, REALLY BAD vision and BIG feet.

Posted by Julian Thursday 2 October, 2008 05:16 PM


Definitely the Amnet Cable Guy - he's the fastest on the market ;)

Posted by tazh Thursday 2 October, 2008 03:40 PM


I'm putting my money on Choosey! He's pretty fiesty, been training hard chasing cars on the freeway and he's ready to show FatCat who the superior species is...Go Choosey!

Posted by Kris Thursday 2 October, 2008 03:01 PM


Choosie has to win, because the market is down and nobody's buying, he's had extra time to spend working it at the gym! C'mon Choosie! Kick those other jerks' butts!

Posted by Rosco Thursday 2 October, 2008 12:20 PM


Tommy Tenpin for sure!!
He will bowl the rest over.
STRIKE!!!

Posted by marg Wednesday 1 October, 2008 03:27 PM


Mr Rental - just cause he could.

Posted by Dave Wednesday 1 October, 2008 01:53 PM


I think the Bendigo Bank pig has a good chance.....but I'd really like Sunny or the mushroom to win. They're cute!

Posted by jemima Wednesday 1 October, 2008 01:21 PM


Must be RAC Happy Happy Man, after all he's supporting community, drivers and all people in need- now we can support RAC mascot
