SOME BIG SMALL TOWN FUN.

The 1st annual Gravity Shoot-Out began with a shaky start. It was raining at start time, we didn't know if it was still on or not and the event's organizer couldn't make it. Despite the uncertainty of the weather and what to do, it turned out to be a great time with very little rain. We raced all morning, took a break to eat and raced some more. Stretched plastic kiddie cars, bikes, a couple of modified little red wagons and scratch built racers made up the 10 or so vehicles that participated. There was probably twice that many people in attendance.
I don't think there were any official results but Thad's red wagon racer, Wes's coffin car and Steve's bike were probably the top 3.

Lots of photos here.

Pop some pop corn, sit back and watch all the exciting action (2 videos) here...

If you don't subscribe to the paper then hop on your bike, ride over to the newsstand and grab todays edition (September 3rd) of the Wichita Eagle. Look in the Wichitalk section and you'll find a nice article on the Coasters and the Thursday Night Pub Pedal. The article contains quotes from Erick, Steve and Eva plus photos of Sarah, Erick and Larry.
You can also view the article online although I suggest you check out the print version as I didn't see any of the photos online.
