Coffin Racing
According to local legend in Manitou Springs, Colorado (legend that may or may not be true), a young woman named Emma Crawford was once buried at the top of nearby Red Mountain. But during a rain storm, her coffin came loose and raced down the side of the mountain. To commemorate this event, residents of the town now hold an annual coffin racing contest through the center of town. A few pictures from yesterday's race can be seen here. I'm not sure who won.

I sure had a great time!hey Shredmon. My friend Lars is an excellent photographer and he took an excellent picture of your team racing on Saturday. You should contact him about it! It's just something you should have and frame. Let me know if you want to contact him - well here is his site. Do it soon however because he is going to Germany this month.
