My Neighborhood Tractor Race Next Sunday [PHOTOS]

IMAGINE: Lawn Tractors..."speeding" through normally quiet residential streets...

Water balloons flying...from both the race "track," and from the sidelines!

Spectators cheering on their favorite racer!

THIS is the social event of the year in my neighborhood!

After years of finishing near the back of the pack, I WON the race, and the coveted trophy...3 years ago. Really, it seems like yesterday!!

2 years ago, as you can see above, it was close...not for first...but for last!

Its all in fun...especially with a "super soaker!" (Craig Allen photo)

My nephew Ethan, and niece Emily, have had a great time racing with me...

The race is set for around 5:30...start your engines...and let the water balloons fly!

I'm just looking for some lawn tractor-based fun...and that is GUARANTEED!
