s the RRM staff disembarked from the van upon our arrival in
Grafton on a Friday in late September, it was like stepping back in
time. Not only because a quick glance either way down the Great
River Road which runs through the center of town is like looking
A at a snapshot of the past, but also because the temperature was
a midsummer-like 90 degrees, with the humidity to match. The air was
heavy with both the smell of freshly-cut grass and also the river running
just a few hundred feet from where we were standing. Soon those smells
would be replaced with those of burning rubber, gas and diesel fuel, and
the tranquility of middle America would be briefl y interrupted by an
assortment of mechanical mayhem.
The fl ame-throwing
exhibition was on both
days, and it was HOT.
