Marcos Ambrose was presented the keys of the city of Melbourne (Florida)
I have been there and it is one of the nicest cities in Florida.... "Australian NASCAR driver Marcos Ambrose has been proclaimed the ‘Mayor for the Day’ in the city of Melbourne, Florida in the United States today. Ambrose will embark on his third season racing in NASCAR this weekend with the Camping World 300 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida marking the start of the 35-race 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series season. Mayor Harry Goode, who welcomed Ambrose into his city, presented the 31-year-old with the key to the city, the namesake of Melbourne in Australia. “It’s great to welcome Marcos Ambrose to the City of Melbourne today and interesting to meet a person all the way from Tasmania, the most southern state of Australia,” said Goode. “Marcos, who is competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, took time out of his busy racing schedule in Daytona to join us this morning. As a NASCAR fan, I jumped at the opportunity to name Marcos ‘Mayor for a Day’ in Melbourne. “In honour of Marcos being Mayor for today, I have suspended all red light traffic cameras in Melbourne. This should allow Marcos to tour the area quickly and not be unnecessarily detained by our police department." You've got to hand it to the Yanks, they don't stand on ceremony. |

Well, that last post was disturbing.
Top bloke that Marcos. But the V8SC still dosn't feel the same without him. Good to hear he's having a great time of it in the US of A though, hopefuly he continues his progress on the track. |
