Craig Allen’s Tractor Race Results
Its a tradition, 96 years in the making...
...well,its been happening since 1999.
My neighborhood gathers to party for a few hours..to .race LAWN MOWERS through the streets for a few minutes...and then party into the night!
What's not to LOVE?!
Throughout the afternoon, more racers arrive...
...including last year's race winner!
Did I mention that the use of water balloons...
and "super soakers" is encouraged?
Keith, and his family, (ABOVE) are NEW this year...and, as the excitement builds...I wonder...do they really know what they are in for?
On the other hand...
...us VETERANS are PSYCHED for the fast-paced action...and the watery mayhem that is mere moments away!
Race time is getting closer...
Are we ready to race??
You BETTER BELIEVE IT!
Racers let the water balloons fly...
...as do the spectators!
Its a GOOD TIME FOR ALL!
Sadly...before you know it...
...the race is over...
...and racers are milling about at the post-race party...
...well...MOST are...
...waiting to congratulate this year's winner...
...and MOST still don't know who the winner is!
Barry, who won a few years ago...comes in third...
Last year's winner, "Cornershow Bob" comes in...second...
And, Rob takes home this year's "Major Award." (Mrs. Rob is...thrilled...NOT).
Before the post-race party swings into full gear...
...its time for the annual photo of the neighbors with this year's winner...
And, in 2016...it takes TWO pictures to include everyone!
