A few guys even run 12 volt wires to these dummys in case they are voltage checked.

The truck takes the win over the Gremlin.
Another interesting race was the Broadbent brothers going at it in the 1st round.
What a weekend for racing, the weather doesn't get any better than this.
Thank you to Dave and Tom for the "live from thread".
