There wasn't just the pow wow, there was a rodeo too, with among others barrel racing for women. Women raced their horses around pre-set barrels in a cloverleaf pattern.

Bright orange and noisy ... easily describes a bajaj. These traditional transportation vehicles became popular in India where they were developed with Vespa and later imported to and built in Indonesia. Similar vehicles are known as rickshaw in Africa, Tuk-Tuk in Thailand and MotoTaxi in Peru. With an estimated 20,000 bajaj in Jakarta, it is evident they are very popular here too!
Bajaj seat two passengers comfortably and up to five passengers - depending on the size of the passenger of course. Their areas of operation are limited to one mayoralty in the city. On the side of the driver's doors you'll see a big circle in which the area is designated ... Jakarta Barat, Jakarta Pusat, etc., with a different color for each mayoralty. The drivers are not allowed to go out of their area and aren't allowed onto many main roads, so routes may be a bit circuitous.
Fare determination is by bargaining. It's always best to ask an Indonesian what they would pay for a trip to a particular destination from your point of departure, and then bargain and pay accordingly.
A ride in a bajaj is hot, utilizing AC alam - or nature's air conditioning. The ride will also be noisy, smelly (car and bus fumes), bumpy, harrowing, and a grand adventure. My favorite maneuver is when the bajajdriver decides to flip a u-turn in the middle of the road.
There is some protection from the rain, unless it's blowing hard. You'd think you'd have to be careful about robbery since the vehicle is so open - but it's not as common as robberies in buses. Having said all that ... bajaj are extremely convenient in many areas of Jakarta for a short drive.

In this video I have put together the images from Josh Foley's Longford Motor Racing Mural with a description of the historic street circuit in 1963. The cars raced around this track from 1953-1968, in conditions unimaginable today.
As you'll see in this historic footage there were minimal safety barriers, the drivers wore helmets no bigger than bicycle helmets, and some chose not to wear safety harnesses in the belief that it would enable a quicker getaway in case of fire.
Two drivers were killed in practice at Longford over the years, including a young rising star of the Grand Prix circuit, American Timothy Mayer. Neil Kearney was there as a schoolboy when it all happened, and here he recounts his harrowing tale: neilkearney.net.au/that-fateful-friday-afternoon-at-longf...
New Zealand driver Bruce McLaren (a Formula 1 team bears his name today) wrote an epitaph for Mayer that sadly fitted his own death at Goodwood, England in 1970:
"The news that he died instantly was a terrible shock to all of us. But who is to say that he had not seen more, done more and learned more in his 26 years than many people do in a lifetime? It is tragic, particularly for those left. Plans half-made must now be forgotten and the hopes must be rekindled. Without men like Tim, plans and hopes mean nothing. To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. I can’t say these things well, but I know this is what I feel to be true. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one’s ability. Life is measured in terms of achievement, not in years alone."
On this video we are guided around the track by Australian driver Lex Davison. Two years later at Sandown in Melbourne, Davison was killed in another practice run at just 42 years of age. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Davison
This was an era of heroic men in still relatively primitive motor sport conditions. Some would have called them foolhardy, others courageous. Either way, they fit the perfect Greek description of a hero.
It is a wonderful thing that artist Josh Foley has been able to remind us of this moment in time.
