There are more activities than just the rock crawling
though. There is the spotter challenge race where all
of the team spotters line up and when the green flag
dropped they all sprint up the longest steepest obstacle. First one to the top wins, and it was steep enough
that it went on for almost 10 minutes before someone
was able to inch their way to the peak for the W!
There’s also a lawn mower race. Bring your favorite
grass clipping machine with the mowing deck removed. It may seem like a joke, but there was bumping, pushing, and even a wreck at the beginning of the
race! These guys, gals, and kids are serious about their
lawn mower racing. Good fun for all ages! This was
not one of those high speed lawn mower races that
you may have heard about. Just stock tractors looking
for bragging rights! After some trash talk, and 5 laps
around the course, the champ and runner up were a
husband and wife team that can only be identified as
the Viking crew!
