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!

With all the rain we've had the last few days....and looking at Alan Kasper's 5-Day forecast...please join me in this single thought for one week from today: NO RAIN!

I'll have 2013 race pictures next MONDAY (Memorial Day), here at nj1015.com!
