Jonathan LaFever |
In our modern-day litigious society, who would have thought to
hack a hole through their family barn and race cars through it?
Well, the LaFever family of tiny Bovina Center, NY did.
Now the Annual Barnyard Car Race has become a town tradition,
drawing an audience of hundreds on one Saturday every August.
The
rules of the race are simple: no car can cost more than $300,
each car must have a 4-cylinder engine, and hitting another racer's
driver's-side door is prohibited.
But the townspeople have come to see more than just an offbeat
race - they're eager to witness the moment when one of the 25
competitors finally dethrones Jonathan LaFever, the race's four-time
undefeated champion. This year, the wait may well be over, as
the competition is more fierce than ever.
The
pressure's on as Jonathan fights to remain undefeated. Experience
the passion of the fans, the smell of burning tires, the dust
floating over the track... all for bragging rights and the top
cash prize of $140.
4-Cylinder 400
gives you a look from the inside as it celebrates one small
piece of what's left of rural America.
You've never seen racin' like this before!
