9th Annual Dirt Track Racing Round-Up
The night started out with the famous "BAG LADY" greeting some of our favorite drivers...
The bag lady heard the Rod Sayre's wrecked his car and had been injuried so she was nice enough to doctor him up and make him her patient She dressed Rod in bandages and a sling for his arm..heheheh
Then the BAG LADY scooped up Robbie Evans and talked about how much racing cost.She decided to gave him some tips on how to raise money for his cause. She dressed him up as a blind man. She gave him some sun glasses to wear and a soup can to hold so he could ask for donations. heheheh
After Rod and Rob got attacked by the BAG LADY, she then went after Mrs. Kim Santee. The bag lady heard that Kim was the queen. So she looked all over for the queen and she found Kim seated way in the back. The Bag lady said "They got the queen sitting in THE CHEAP SEATS. I wouldn't wanna be the queen around here". The bag lady then made Kim the queen a nice thrown for her to rule from. The throne was a toliet seat on a 5 gallon bucked and from Kim's throne her majesty could rule the kingdom with her pluger.
After the BAG LADY helped out Rod, Rob and Kim she then went after Joe Summers. The Bag Lady heard that Joe was good at BARKING OUT ORDERS as a flagman so she was nice enough to dress him up and make him look more like dog since he is so good at barking. hehehe
