They're a lot of fun to watch as in the heat of competition the drivers screw up as much or more than the horses.

I haven't been to The farm Show for several years, but my daughter took the grandkids this year, they told me all about it. I know many people that go just for the food vendors that sell foods that you can't get any other time or place.
