So long as we're discussing Lobster races since they do seem to be 
popular......

Clan Ravenstar holds an annual Lobster Race at Mountain Confederation most 
years at Pennsic. Although the format has varied a couple of times, the usual 
procedure is to put the kettle on to boil, get dressed in your finest court 
garb and have at it. 

Any folks who are aware of the Race and show up in appropriate dress (the 
finest they have for Pennsic whatever that may be tunic or cod) are welcome 
to participate. The Clan provides all the main and side dishes for the meal. 
BYOB is encouraged but optional. 

Each person is required to also bring their own seafood in order to 
participate. The preferred seafood is, of course, a live lobster although 
shrimp and other things have been known to arrive. One year a piece of beef 
ran the race. DON"T ASK! :-)

A course is set around the camp or up the road and back, etc. The Racers 
stand in a line holding their seafood and the start signal is given. The 
person who makes it around the race course and back to the boiling kettle 
first is the winner and has the dubious privilege of dropping all the 
lobsters and other assorted  creatures into the pot. :-)

When they are done cooking, a fantastic feast and a good time is hopefully 
had by all.
