The demos that caught my eyes weren't the ones executed by the professional stunt drivers but was instead the 'Pocket-bike' riders. Believe it or not, the ages range between 4 to 9 years old.

Lucas Chow, CEO of MediaCorp & Oon Jin Teik, CEO of Singapore Sports Council were also there to grace the event. The proceeds collected from the K1 Go-Karting circuit went directly to the charity beneficiary - Rainbow Centre.

What was sad to note was that most people who went for the Go-Karting were reluctant to donate more than $5. This was overheard at the Go-Kart queue:
**********
A: How much for the Go-Karting?
Organizer: The minimum donation amount is $5 and all proceeds go directly to Rainbow Centre for charity.
A: Do you have change for $10?
Organizer: Sorry sir, because it's for charity, we do not give change. Perhaps you'd like to donate more to the charity?
A: Har?! (turned around to person behind queue). You got change? Want to combine or not?
**********
Seriously! If this person can afford the indulgence of Go-Karting, would it KILL him to just give $5 more for the sake of charity?!!
