    Key Grab Race
    Sun, November 6, 2011 15:00-17:00
    * The final flight (Final day) 15:00-17:00
    Key Grab Race is the final event of the Saga International Balloon Fiesta. The pilots try to get big keys suspended from high poles. Most of them rush to the central pole to try to win the top prize, a HONDA motor car! In other events must only locate a target and drop a marker onto it. Hence, it is an extremely challenging task as pilots must control not only their approach but also their height to grab the keys, sometime with their balloons just skimming over the ground. Please come and watch this thrilling race at the launch site.
