Long Island Glory

Long Island may be a tax hell populated by carpet-bagging movie stars, cantankerous expat Brits, relics of the old New York City gentry, and autobody-shop proprietors wid thick necks and names like “Buttafuoco,” but there is one thing we excel at: Firematic Racing.

Lawn Guy Land may in fact be the national capital of Firematic Racing. If we are, then we are surely also the world capital, since this is a very American sport.

Here is a video clip that really gives you the spirit of the sport. Here is a website for New York enthusiasts.

Any chance we can get this into the Olympics?
