We have an interesting situation coming up in our county.
This coming June, an event similar to a drag race will be held for the second year in a row. Several miles of a county highway will be blocked off and cars will be timed individually over a half mile and a full mile. Cars are run one at a time and compete against the clock instead of competing against another car. These are not special race cars, anyone who wants to see what their car, including a daily driver, will do can enter. The event was well received and well attended last year, the first year.
This year, a local micro brewery has applied for a temporary liquor license to sell at least beer, if not something stronger, at the event. His application is coming for a vote at the upcoming County Commissioner’s meeting this Tuesday.
After all of the years I spent on the late model stock car and outlaw sprint car circuits, it’s been my observation that alcohol and race cars don’t mix. At least while I was involved, one absolutely and positively unbreakable rule was no alcohol consumption by anyone attached to a race car, drivers and pit crew alike, immediately before or during an event. The racing fraternity does an excellent job of policing its own ranks, but there are always a few exceptions who think they can’t possibly be having fun if they don’t have a beer in their hand. Those are the ones who will give you trouble.
As a Commissioner, my first question to the applicant will be how will he control sales? If someone wants to buy a beer, how will it be known whether he is a pure spectator or on the crew of a car? This is not a kids soccer game where any adult is a non-participant.
Let’s do a quick poll. How many of ya’ll think booze should be sold at an event like this?

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
