Six teams raced brightly decorated plastic salmon roe containers down a ramp at Petersburg’s community gym Saturday. The annual Humpy 500 race took a year off from the 55-gallon drum go carts normally raced down the hill on main street because of the road construction. Nevertheless, some devoted racers turned out to send their creations down a large plywood ramp indoors.
Joe Viechnicki spoke with the contestants.
