Racing on buses (10 photos)

On American fairs actively advertise race on school buses.
City Croton, Ohio - one of the few places where these are allowed bus race.






15-meter buses weighing up to eight tons of way through dirty "track" the size of a football field.

The owner of one of the buses Lew Kanter bought my bus for $ 1,000. He and his friends worked on the engine a little, so he let the black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Photo: Geoff Trayner (left) and Anthony Shaffer put bus to the trailer after the race.



Ed Workman goes to his victory. However, Kanter. the owner of the blue bus, vowed revenge in the upcoming race on Labor Day in neighboring Morrow County.
