Living in Texas as I do, with rodeos around in the springtime, barrel racing takes on an exciting and adrenaline-pumped meaning. However, traffic barrel driving/racing/competing in FIRST reminds me of one of the clown acts in a circus when I think about it. Especially with the horns. That would be a great act for sure. A mime clown with an Albert the Road Barrel or 2 would be hysterical.
Richard, I know you are making a tongue-in-cheek remark, btw.
