Man I only have two of the big bus and the rogue hog. Never thought I'd need that casting.
I'm not sure if this race is in my future or not, but I can truly say that its very existence makes me happy.

Mine's almost ready to go. Gotta hit it with clear coat, then she'll be on her way.
I just found my first Party Wagon last week at the grocery store. I don't see very many on the pegs at all. If I find another one I might enter. Great idea!
