More than 1,000 euros in cash prizes, eight other special awards, around 1,200 toys distributed among the 6,000 spectators who packed the Camino de Murcia and Esquina del Convento avenues, a total of 21 participating cars\u2014the highest number of the sixteen editions of this event\u2014from geographical locations such as Totana, Abar\u00e1n, Archena, Fuente \u00c1lamo, Pinoso, and, of course, Cieza.<\/p>\n
The Cieza Wacky Race is growing in popularity every year, having established itself as the city fair's most crowd-attracting activity.<\/p>\n
The crazy cars started arriving at the pits at ten in the morning, and from midday onward they launched onto the now traditional Camino de Murcia circuit.<\/p>\n
As for the awards, the car 'El Talao' took first place in the Speed category, completing the course in just 30 seconds, followed by 'Los Albares' and 'Gas Mokey'.<\/p>\n
The originality was in 'Caballo de Troya', with the convoy 'Tribute to Fleki' taking first place, a tribute to the memory of a man who has since passed away and who sweetened the town's patron saint festivities for countless years with his unbeatable waffles and 'Hotrook'.<\/p>\n
Finally, the award for best staging went to the Pe\u00f1a Autolocot\u00f3n, a crazy car that simulated a crate of fruit in clear homage to Cieza, Europe's leading peach producer, and to the fruit cooperatives and farmers of the municipality.<\/p>\n
The awards ceremony was attended by Mayor Pascual Lucas and Councilor for Celebrations, Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n
Spanish television's afternoon program 'Espa\u00f1a Directo' is scheduled to broadcast a report on the test this week.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
