67 Teams competed in Saturdays Emma Crawford Coffin Races. The teams race in pairs 195 yards uphill on Manitou Ave. Each team consists of one Emma who rides and 4 mourners who push the coffin. Teams who lose a mourner, come out of their lane or break their coffin are disqualified.
The winner with a time of 25.9 seconds was Mountainside Skate Shop's "Night of the Living Shred". They are a new Manitou based business. Wait - rewind. All of a sudden 2 days later, coffinrace.com has suddenly said these guys did not win. They in fact got 6th? What a big fuck up.
These are the real winners - Memorial Hospital ICU whose time was 25.9.
In second place is a local business, Adam's Mountain Cafe "Team Futurama" with a time of 26.6.
Third place was taken by a team from Boulder who won the Frozen Dead Guy Coffin Race in Nederland last spring. With a time of 26.8 seconds, I present "The Nerds".
Wait Colorado has two coffin races? I think I need to move.
ReplyDeleteI hope “Night of the Living Shreds” at least got a first place in the Best Name category, that rocks.
They were a nice group of kids too.
DeleteWhat a snafu!
