The woman working the student pickup decided to be funny. She removed the manikin's pants and turned him around so his rear would face the door of the bus when it pulled up. This manikin is normally used to train drivers in CPR.

A test of parking skills. As you can see, this driver got disqualified for this event for striking the curb. Notice the gentleman in the white shirt, that's the transportation director. He and I worked this parking event.

Another driver giving this one a shot. This driver did quite well!

Spotsylvania Bus 343. 2006 Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2. This bus had just arrived the day before the roadeo. Transportation was so excited about getting this bus, that they brought it to the roadeo and put it on display. After all the contestants had finished, they took the C2 out on the course. Everyone was given a chance to ride the bus. Those with valid CDL's were allowed to drive it. There was supposed to be a second C2 to go along with this one, but it got into an accident on the way to Virginia from the Thomas plant. Apparently, the person driving it smacked a large, low-hanging tree branch and did extensive damage to the bus. There were no injuries to the driver. I have not verified whether they received a replacement bus.
