Neighborhood Tractor Race This Afternoon! (PHOTOS)

Don't let the race flier throw you...it hasn't been 85 years...but this IS the social event of the year in my neighborhood!

After years of finishing near the back of the pack, last year, I WON the race, and the coveted trophy. I wrote about that last Sunday, and thank you for all the "what new thing to put on the trophy" suggestions! And, yes, by popular demand, I will also add an item with the New Jersey 101.5 logo!

2012 Tractor Race Flier! "DJ Craig Allen" at lower right...

As you can see on the above race flier, the pre-race party starts at 2:00.

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

The Race is ON! (Craig Allen photo)

Below, my custom "riding mower" entry from 2006...and wearing the "Team Point" T-shirt!

My "ecologically friendly" entry in 2006...I put my father in the lawnchair, and "ran" the race. I did not finish last. (Craig Allen photo)

May 27, 2012 @ 8:15am. I'm the FIRST tractor on the starting line. Where's the line?

I'll have 2012 race pictures tomorrow, here at nj1015.com!
