Held on 17.02.2019 at Veli Vrh (suburb of Pula), "Balinjerada" is a sensational mix of crazy soapbox vehicles (popularly known as "karići") racing competition and a carnival masquerade parade. Karić is a self-made wooden scooter with ball bearings that, when in move, makes a noise similar to a F-16 Fighting Falcon jet. The name of the race "Balinjerada" comes from "balinjere" - which is how ball bearings are called in this part of the world. If you're eventually curious, you can read more about and see some cool additional photos here:
