In the videos my truck is going comically slow. I had more of a chance running against the kids.
You guys could have walked alongside my truck urging us on.

Speaking strictly as a "citizen" and not as one of the race judges.  I have several concerns and may request an internal review of the judging. To be fair and provide the best justice, the judges will review themselves...until then my concerns are: 

The results of the steroid tests haven't come back yet.  Those bikers looked exceptionally well muscled.

The truck seemed sluggish and may have been slipped a mickey, by "race fixing profiteers". 

  The guy driving the truck looked like Russell, but how can we really know it was him? 

What about building 7 huh, HUH?? ...oh okay, not that one...this time.

If anybody else saw any suspicious behavior please call 1-800-racejudges to anonymously report what you saw. Together we can fight street crime!

Got a few pics at Applefest before the batteries died.

President Carla and founder Jason and wife.

PatK and Brian

Some of Lloyd's old friends from Connecticut brought his picture.
Hard to see because the idiot photographer got his reflection on it.

Man VS Machine.  The former president of the Underground won handily.

Some suspicious hair care activity took place.

Oh yeah.  There was an apple press too.

The Peaceful Assembly Church had a membership drive signup.

Rosealee going through her second (third?) childhood on the swingset, the adults eventually let the kids use it.

After the Applefest at the church we moved on to Hoyt farm for bonfire and UN flag burn.

Lloyd was watching from the background.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the event happen.

[Tom Sawyer]

We had a wonderful time. Thanks to all who conspired in the "spontaneous order".

Jim was great as the race official and donated the trophy.

Good job Grafton locals on planning and actual event. :-)
My truck is comically slow. I lost some money to Shire Folk.

Those Shire folk are crafty devils... next time a longer distance.
