Daredevils race handmade buggies downhill through town centre

People lined the streets of St Just to watch daredevils race handmade buggies downhill in the fastest time possible. Part of the town's community festival, Lafrowda, the 'Gravity Buggy Race' took place on the evening of Friday, July 19, ahead of the highlight of the festival, Lafrowda Day on Saturday.
With thick mizzle set in for the afternoon, visibility and road surface conditions were far from perfect, but there was no option of tyre changes for these homemade karts constructed from bits of old bikes, bins and bathtubs. 15 buggies were towed to the top of the hill, but only 13 made it down.
The Buggy Race was first included as part of Lafrowda festival in 2016, and usually takes places twice a year - once in May on the quieter lanes of nearby Tregeseal, and once on Lafrowda Eve, down the much busier Fore Street in St Just in front of hundreds of spectators.
