Good cause, I guess the "lightest" riders might have an advantage.

>>It's part of a longstanding tradition in Berks County.
Bertie's Inn (incredible hamburgers!!!) hosts this race annually as a
charity fund-raiser.
http://bertiesinn.com/2011beltsanderrace.html

One of their clients, a contractor enjoyed imbibing, said that when he was
bored on the job he sometimes sat on a belt sander and raced around a
room.  Thus, an idea which became a Berks county tradition.

If the NFL didn't settle, we might be seeing these races as a substitute
<g>.

Beginning to wonder if people up your way are drinking
too much unfiltered tap water.  ;-}
