      They go REALLY fast! It may not look that way by the photos but they do and every year there is at least one crash. Luckily no one has gotten hurt.

    Oh yeah – we really have to go next year. I’ll look for dates, but let me know if you find them first.

      My boyfriend said he did this as a kid. So did my dad when he was a kid. Maybe it was a boy thing? Anyways, it was fun to watch!
