Fans
admire the squad cars
The drivers, with Presiding Goober of TAGSRWC, Jim Clark (a Prince
of a fella)
Before the racing started, one of the cars went dead. After all of the obligatory quotes of "You might be mashing down too hard on your acceleration", "I smell gas", "Pucka-pucka", "I heard it! It sounded like a sneeze", "Whatever it was fell off and can't hurt you anymore", "Sometimes she'll tell you F when you've really got an E", "She's an eight-cylinder, she'll take eight" and "Let's get THAT vehicle OUTTA here", Wally blowed out her fuel line and she was okay......

Speed, speed, speed, that's all you think about
After the drag races, the contestants drove an obstacle course. They had to
drive down the strip stopping three times to get out and perform duties familiar
to Mayberry law officers.
First, they had to fix the stop sign (the work order from the county came in the
afternoon mail)
Then, they had to bust up a still
POW! POW! POW!
And then Ernest T. had to be taken into custody.
The whole day was fun and the folks did a REAL good job with it. I expect next year's event to be even bigger and better and I hope to see y'all there!
