| Thousands upon thousands will arrive in Rome for the Vadis al
Maximo
celebration in October of 2009. The Legions will march again through
the
city streets. Gladiators will compete before the cheering crowds. The
ancient
arts will flourish on the squares. The aroma of ancient foods will fill
the air.
And everywhere, scented garlands will dress Rome again.
Restoration of the monumental Circus Maximus can be
accomplished within
a five-year time frame. Efforts should resolve in a completed Circus
Maximus
to host for the world the "Great Games". The Games will arrive between
Olympics and mark the great beginning and renewal at the Circus and
show-case
all the entertainments. These Great Games will create the "Big Bang"
for
big sponsorship - much as the Olympics does.
The Great games will be a week-long festival.
1): In preparation, the Vadis Group will organize a completely
functional
international Chariot Racing League - where in the five years, an
ongoing
and heady competition will culminate at the first opening of the new
Circus
Maximus stadium. This league will have the Four Factions. The
chariot-races
will high-light the show.
2): The greatest modern circus acts will perform - Barnum-like.
3): The greatest music, from symphony to the top rock bands will
perform.
Perhaps we will adopt an international theme where the world-wide
televised
event addresses imperative themes of global-warming and hunger.
4): There should be Equestrian games.
5): World title boxing.
6): Olympic running and track competition. We shall solicit sanctioned
meets.
7): There might also be a temporary water set-up for sea battle scenes.
8): There shall be X-games competition.
9): Various martial arts can be featured.
World Chariot Racing Federation
The Reds
The Greens
The Blues
The Whites
Sponsored teams could compete under one of the
flag banners - Ferrari
under the Reds, for instance.
The Vadis group will make a list of an historical
set of accouterments
from which a set of Racing Chariot Standards will be created.

|
 |
| We invite separate chariot racing clubs for input on
the chariot racing
standards where such standards will be created by agreement. From these
Racing Standards, new and advanced versions can be made. Instead of the
wicker of the ancient chariots, perhaps Graphite and Kevlar.
While any chariot type can race in specified heats,
high-level racing
resolves to the light racing chariot.

In ancient Rome, a Circus
was conducted
and paid for by a particular group. “Republican Circus on Wednesday,
Democrat
Circus on Friday.”
There are many possible modern sponsors of Chariot races
at the Circus. - Along with the many more normal large
venue yearly uses.
These
will be:
World Soccer
