The tape measure ends are hooked on the end of the track and then the tape measures are pulled out to their limit. They're then let go to see which one retracts (and therefore reaches the end of the track) first. I think the entertainment value is directly proportional to the amount of alcoholic beverages consumed prior to the race.
Tom Reese ============== Oh, drat. I was envisioning springing it open. Some tape measure will do it to some degree, and I was thinking an experienced tape measurer person could make it really, really spring open and go some distance. Maybe with a little shaking and stuff. Drat, drat. I suppose if one is bored, especially in the snowy boonies during the winter, anything is entertaining. Marnie You'll notice I am loftily ignoring your nasty crack. ;-)
